Smart technology allows teams to do more with less

Running an aviation operation requires the seamless coordination of people, equipment, schedules, and precise record-keeping for training compliance. Learn how MINT TMS can take on the manual labor of several extra team members to handle a high volume of tasks while saving significant payroll costs.

For smaller organizations, MINT does the work of several people, allowing scheduling departments to stay lean and focus on high-level tasks. For large operations, MINT helps departments scale for growth and do more with less in the most efficient way possible.

Efficiency at every step of the training cycle

For every task in the training management cycle, MINT TMS offers a solution to expedite and simplify the process:

Managing resources, records, and currency renewals

MINT TMS - Compliance for Automatic Recertification Alerts

  • Reduce time spent searching through files No more paper forms or lost files; everything is digitized, securely stored in the cloud, and instantly retrievable. MINT becomes the single source of truth for managing workforce training records, instructors, and physical equipment (i.e., flight simulators).
  • Save hours on calculating currencies and grace periodsMINT knows exactly when qualifications will expire and can calculate complex currency renewals with layers of rules. MINT can be configured for any type of training methodology, including EBT, AQP, and more, replacing hours of monthly manual work.
  • Stop manually sending emailsAutomated tracking of medical checks, license expirations, and other qualifications can be simplified with an email alert workflow to notify managers in advance, removing the potential for errors and the need to write emails one by one manually.

Automated scheduling with intelligent optimization

Once you identify which trainees have upcoming expiry dates, one of the most labor-intensive tasks is creating training event schedules. With so many factors to consider, scheduling can easily consume one or even several full-time jobs.

This is where MINT’s scheduling and optimization feature can do the work of several people. MINT uses smart technology to create an optimized schedule in minutes, eliminating weeks of manual work and allowing departments to prioritize cost savings or other desired outcomes.

Scheduling Optimization Software for Airlines

  • Reduce hours of planning down to minutes With its advanced scheduling algorithm, MINT solves complex event plans in minutes—not hours—by optimizing for cost, instructor workload, simulator usage, and even seniority or union rules.
  • Avoid human errors MINT automatically detects and avoids conflicts—holidays, vacations, overtime, work regulations, fly days, double-booked instructors, equipment availability, and room capacity are just a few of the many things MINT takes into consideration.
  • Quickly make changes to stay agile despite disruptions Changes that used to require hours to redo manually can now be made in just a few clicks. As things change, and they always will, MINT can quickly recalculate a new schedule, keeping your department fast and agile in light of IROP (irregular operation) events or regulation updates.
  • Integrate for even more efficiency Using MINT’s Calendar Sync Add‑on, training sessions appear directly in your team’s external calendars, preventing duplication or scheduling conflicts.

Instead of one or even several team members manually juggling spreadsheets, MINT takes on the bulk of scheduling and planning for training events.

Smarter grading, forms, and curriculum management

MINT simplifies training courses and grading forms by letting you reuse templates and create automatic rules for instructor evaluations while eliminating the need to track down paper grading forms.

MINT TMS - Digital Training Forms with No Coding

  • Save time designing curriculums Build and adjust reusable course templates with required prerequisites, elective tracks, and role-based evaluation logic.
  • Build forms without code Electronic grading forms are fully customizable with MINT’s drag-and-drop FormBuilder, eliminating the need for developer resources.
  • Grade faster Instructors save time with pre‑filled data, resulting in fewer clicks and typing, and less chance of typos or errors.
  • Create quick feedback loops Stop sending feedback surveys in separate systems and then manually building reports. MINT TMS can automatically send instructor evaluation forms after a training event and compile attendee feedback into one easy-to-read, reusable report template.

Instant reporting & analytics

Many of our competitors’ software requires developers to create custom report templates or to build an API for direct reporting to the FAA. This results in additional costs, labor, and time. MINT changes all of this:

MINT TMS - Compliance Qualification Evaluation Reports

  • Build reports without code MINT’s drag‑and‑drop ReportBuilder allows anyone to create custom reports instantly—no code, no developer time, and no waiting.
  • Save time with direct reports to the FAA’s PRD Using MINT’s existing PRD add-on or AQP add-on, hours of time spent each month to format and upload required FAA data to the Pilot Record Database can be done in just a few clicks.
  • Preparing for audits is easy Before using MINT, many of our customers spent weeks preparing for audits with regulatory agencies. A missing piece of paperwork could result in a major fine. With MINT, everything you need can be quickly generated into a report, complete with audit trails, saving a significant amount of time and money.
