Flightdocs, the Bonita Springs, Florida maintenance-tracking company, was selected by Textron Aviation as a recommended provider of maintenance-tracking services for Cessna, Hawker, and Beechcraft models. This means that buyers of new and preowned turboprop and turbofan models from Textron Aviation will be offered an optional free year of Flightdocs Enterprise Maintenance and Inventory modules.

The Flightdocs maintenance-tracking service is available for any Textron Aviation turboprop or turbofan as well as for customers enrolled in Textron Aviation’s ProAdvantage program. 

Both Flightdocs and Textron Aviation are employing application program interfaces “to create a seamless flow of maintenance information and documentation to enhance the customer's experience,” according to Flightdocs. The two companies expect to be able to offer “a full integration of systems for enhanced services” in the third quarter of this year. About 1,000 Textron Aviation aircraft are currently enrolled in Flightdocs. 

"This is a big win for Flightdocs, and it is a giant win for Textron Aviation customers,” said Rick Heine, CEO of Flightdocs. “Choice and free market competition always produces the best products and services, and now Textron Aviation customers get to choose what's best for them.”
