Part 145 Software Built for the Audit You Didn't Schedule.

Orion is Part 145 software from Joker Aviation: e-signatures that meet AC 120-78B, one-button return to service packages, training records, and tool calibration in the same system as your work orders. Built by a mechanic who lived the audit fire drill.

Compliance is the product, not a module

Generic shop software treats FAA compliance as a feature checkbox. In a Part 145 repair station, compliance is the operation: who performed the work, who inspected it, who released it, which parts went on with which paperwork, whose tools were in calibration, and who was trained to sign. Orion's compliance core ships with every build:

• Part 145 e-signatures: technician signoff, LBE sign and lock, and CRS release as three distinct levels, each re-authenticated, each locked with a SHA-256 tamper hash per AC 120-78B
• One-button RTS packages: the signed LBE merged with 8130-3s, CAMP cards, MSP cards, and service records into a single deliverable
• Training records: sessions, signature rosters, and printable forms tied to the people signing the work
• Tool calibration: per-tech records with cal due dates, cert numbers, and overdue alerts that name names
• Parts traceability: receiving, certs, and audit logs connecting every part to the work order it went on

Part 145 software with e-signatures that hold up

A scanned ink signature pasted into a PDF is an image, not a signature. Orion signing events are deliberate, attributable, and tamper-evident: the signer re-enters credentials at the moment of signing, the record locks with a cryptographic hash, and every event lands in a nonrepudiation log. Signed means signed, and your inspector can verify it.

Published pricing, sized for real repair stations

Orion costs $995 to $3,995 per month per location depending on headcount, with unlimited users, modules at $95 per month, and setup included. No per-seat math, no quote-by-vibes. The Build Your Own Orion tool prices your exact configuration online, training and data migration included. For the wider platform picture, see Orion as MRO software or the Orion overview.
