The form covers critical areas including Part 107 regulations, airspace restrictions, pre-flight checklists, battery management, weather assessment protocols, and client deliverable standards.

Why Paperform Works for Aviation Operations

Paperform makes it easy to collect legally binding acknowledgments with Papersign (papersign.com) integration, allowing operators to electronically sign their acknowledgment with a full audit trail. You can embed the form directly into your onboarding portal or learning management system, and use conditional logic to show specific sections based on operator certification level or service type.

After submission, use Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically send acknowledgments to your operations manager, update your HR system, trigger required training modules, or create equipment access credentials—all without manual data entry.
