When auditors arrive, can you instantly produce a complete maintenance history for any piece of airport equipment? For most airports, the answer involves hours of searching through filing cabinets, chasing down technicians, and hoping nothing was lost in the shuffle. Digital maintenance log automation transforms paper-based chaos into audit-ready documentation—capturing every inspection, every repair, and every sensor reading with zero manual paperwork. Schedule a consultation to discover how automated documentation can eliminate compliance gaps and save your team thousands of hours annually.
The True Cost of Paper-Based Maintenance Records
Manual maintenance logging isn't just inefficient—it's a liability. Every handwritten entry introduces risk, every paper form can be lost, and every undocumented repair creates a compliance gap that may not surface until the worst possible moment: during an audit or after an incident.

"
Poor record keeping costs the aviation industry over $150 million per year—and that doesn't include the lost aircraft value in transactions or aircraft downtime caused by records that are incomplete or missing. This approval for fully digital record keeping is bigger news than even supersonic flight. It will impact more people in the industry in more ways than any other technological advancement since the Wright brothers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does digital documentation meet FAA and regulatory requirements?
Yes. The FAA explicitly allows electronic maintenance records under 14 CFR Parts 43 and 91. OXmaint's system meets all requirements for record content, retention periods, and accessibility. Digital records with proper audit trails are often preferred by regulators as they eliminate legibility issues and provide complete traceability.
Schedule a consultation to discuss your specific compliance requirements.
What happens to our existing paper records?
Historical paper records can be digitized through document scanning and OCR, then linked to their respective equipment profiles. You maintain all existing records while new documentation is captured digitally. OXmaint's system becomes the single source of truth for all maintenance history—past and present.
How do technicians capture maintenance logs in the field?
Technicians use the OXmaint mobile app on smartphones or tablets. The app guides them through standardized inspection checklists, allows photo and video capture, records digital signatures, and works offline when needed. Data syncs automatically when connectivity is restored.
Can the system integrate with our existing CMMS or EAM?
Yes. OXmaint integrates with major CMMS and EAM platforms through standard APIs. Work orders can be pushed from your existing system, and completed maintenance records flow back automatically. This eliminates duplicate data entry while ensuring your documentation system stays synchronized.
How secure is the maintenance data?
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption. Access controls ensure only authorized personnel can view or modify records. Complete audit trails track every change. Data is stored in redundant, geographically distributed cloud infrastructure with 99.9% uptime SLA.
