Built for the Real World. Trusted by Operators Like You.

ModernHawk’s Integrated SMS was built from the ground up to meet the real-world needs of helicopter, utility, and government contract operators—where compliance is critical, and operations are often remote, complex, and dynamic.

Our system is field-proven and trusted by aviation teams who need safety tools that fit into their workflow—not tools that create more work. Whether you’re supporting USFS missions, conducting utility patrols, flying under Part 135, or managing mixed air and ground fleets, ModernHawk helps you stay safe, compliant, and audit-ready.

Designed by Aviation Professionals

Unlike generic SMS platforms, ModernHawk was built by aviation professionals who understand the unique demands of helicopter, utility, and government-contracted operations. Every feature is tuned to match real operational workflows—whether conducting pre-flight risk assessments, capturing hazards in the field, or preparing for audits. The system works the way operators work.

Audit Ready

ModernHawk helps operators meet and exceed the safety and documentation expectations of the FAA, USFS, ICAO, and demanding utility customers. Built-in reporting tools and dashboards ensure that operators can demonstrate compliance at any time, whether preparing for a scheduled audit or responding to a customer request. The system supports a culture of continuous improvement and readiness, not just box-checking.

Proven in the Field

ModernHawk’s Integrated SMS is trusted and used daily by operators flying diverse missions—including USFS exclusive-use and call-when-needed contracts, utility patrol and construction, Part 135 on-demand operations, and mixed ground and air fleet support. The system is battle-tested in real-world conditions where crews operate in remote, dynamic environments, and where compliance is mission-critical

Rapid Onboarding

Getting your crews and teams using ModernHawk is fast and intuitive. The system is designed for mobile use on iPads and smartphones, ensuring that risk assessments, hazard reporting, and safety tasks can be completed in the field, in the cockpit, or from a remote job site. No complex training required—crews adopt the system because it makes their job safer and easier, not harder.
