What Centrik is
Centrik 5 is the safety and compliance platform of TrustFlight. It covers documents, safety, risk, compliance, training, equipment, meetings, workflows and dashboards. TrustFlight reports more than 1,600 customers across 120+ countries, and it integrates with Leon and FL3XX and offers single sign-on. TrustFlight also owns the consultancy Baines Simmons and offers Part-IS help with templates.
TrustFlight's own page puts go-live at about three months. Training for your key staff is built in; live follow-up sessions are paid add-ons, and data migration is assessed case by case and may cost extra. Prices are by quote; we found no public price list.

Side by side
| Centrik 5 | Folvan | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Organisations of all sizes, with a very broad module list | Non-complex operators (AOC, SPO, NCC), ATOs and DTOs, run by a small team |
| Go-live | About 3 months (vendor's figure); migration and live follow-up sessions may cost extra | Days: we import your findings register and set up the checklists for your type of organisation with you |
| Price | By quote | One price per organisation, no per-user fees. Free 30-day pilot |
| Compliance monitoring | Yes | Yes: audit programme and checklists seeded from GM3 ORO.GEN.200(a)(6), ORA.GEN.200 and DTO.GEN.270 |
| Findings and actions | Yes | Yes, with the 3-month level 2 limit checked against ARO.GEN.350 |
| Occurrence reporting | Yes. For a direct ECCAIRS 2 link, ask TrustFlight: its public pages we read give no detail | Yes: crew report from a phone, confidential reports, the 72-hour, 30-day and 3-month clocks, per-country authority profiles |
| E5X file | Not documented publicly | E5X export checked against the official ECCAIRS 5.1.0.0 schema. Some authorities validate a new system's files first; we do that round with you |
| Documents | Yes | Document register with revisions, review dates and read-and-understood per revision. The documents themselves stay where they are: no file storage yet |
| Training, equipment, meetings | Yes | Not yet (see below) |
| Integrations and SSO | Leon, FL3XX, Azure AD SSO, API | Not yet. CSV import and a full data export at any time |
When Centrik is the better choice
- You want one system for documents, training records, equipment and meetings as well as safety and compliance.
- You are growing into a complex organisation, or your group already runs Centrik.
- You need ready integrations with Leon or FL3XX, or single sign-on, today.
- You want consultancy and software from the same group.
When Folvan fits better
- One or two people run compliance and safety alongside another job.
- You need the audit plan, findings and occurrence clocks to work this month, not after a three-month project.
- You want one price per organisation, without paying per user for crew who only file reports.
- You want the checklists to follow the EASA text for your type of organisation, not a blank form builder.
What Folvan does not do yet
To be straight about it: no file storage for documents (the register, revisions and read-and-understood are in Folvan, the files are not), no training records, no hazard log or risk register (a free hazard log template covers the gap), no Part-IS module, and no Leon or FL3XX link yet. If you need those now, Centrik or another full suite is the honest answer. If compliance monitoring, findings and occurrence reporting are the daily work, try Folvan on your own records first.
How switching works
- Export your findings, audits and occurrences from your current system as CSV or Excel. Your data is yours; ask your vendor if the export is not obvious.
- We import the findings register and set up your audit programme for your type of organisation.
- Run both side by side during the 30-day pilot. Nothing is switched off until you decide.
- Check your contract's notice period before you cancel anything.
