General FAQs

How does the Aero Documents platform work?

How is my data backed up?

As a cloud-based platform, we have back-ups for our back-ups. Documents are secure so versions don’t get lost in translation.

Client FAQs

What if I don’t have a drawing?

Once you sign into Aero Documents, you have the opportunity to communicate with our engineering experts to assist you to start a project and get the engineering details you need developed.

When do I need a DER approval?

When you need FAA approved data in support of a major alteration, major repair or Supplemental Type Certificate (STC).

What kind of data and designs can a DER approve?

Aircraft drawings, reports, and analysis for electrical, structural, and mechanical systems changes. There are also flight test DERs that support changes that may need a new Aircraft Flight Manual Supplement (AFMS).

How much does it cost?

There is no monthly fee to use Aero Documents. There is a convenience and platform fee included in each transaction.

How do I pay my DER?

When you sign up for Aero Documents, you will be prompted to link, or sign up for, a Stripe account. All transactions are securely hosted through Stripe via credit card or ACH transactions.

What if I already have a DER?

When you start a project, you have the option to send your DER a link to sign up for Aero Documents. Once your DER is signed up, all your project design and communication(s) are secure and backed up.

Can I use Aero Documents without using a designee?

Absolutely! When you start a project, you have the option to be paired with one of our designees from our network. However, we can also help you set up your account so your data is stored and the review process is solely for inter-company reviews.
