See how your crews are doing, from a check-in pilots keep private.
Pilots stay away from anything that could reach their medical. Okaya is a short, private check-in that stays with the person. Your safety and fatigue teams get an honest read on the group through a schedule change, a new bid period or a hard month, and never see one person.

How it works
Each person checks in privately on their own time, and your safety team sees how the group is doing.
You set up the group
The group can be a fleet, a base or a whole pilot group. Each person gets their own account and checks in on their own phone or laptop, in the browser.
A short, private check-in
You talk with Sanora for about 3 minutes. Okaya looks at how you sound, what you say and how your expression moves, using points from your face, not a video of you.
Each person sees their own result
Each person sees how today compares with their own earlier check-ins. What they do with it is their call.
Your team sees the group
Once enough people have checked in, you see the group's readiness and the topics it raises most.
What the group view shows
A weekly read on how the group is doing. Your SMS and fatigue teams can put it next to the fatigue reports and schedule data they already review.
- The group's readinessand how it moves week to week, across a schedule change, a bid period or a busy season.
- How many checked inso you know how many people the read rests on, but never who.
- What the group raises mostas topics, without anyone's words or result.
Institutional knowledge
Every check-in topic keeps its date, what happened and the group's readiness after it. When crews rotate or a safety manager moves on, the next one starts from what this team learned.
Who sees what
Pilots ask this first. These are the lines you can give them.
Each pilot, mechanic or crew member sees
Your result is yours: you see your own score.
The video never leaves the device.
Okaya never identifies who you are from your face. There is no facial recognition.
Your safety team sees
Leadership sees anonymized, aggregated unit-level readiness only. Never who checked in, how anyone did, or anything they said.
A leader cannot see who checked in.
Okaya is for adults 18 and over.
Okaya does not report to the FAA or an aviation medical examiner. Your employer sees only the group.
What Okaya is not
- Not a medical exam, a diagnosis or a medical device. It does not replace the AME exam or your flight surgeon.
- Not a fitness-for-duty finding. A pilot's own fitness and fatigue decisions stay with the pilot.
- Never for discipline, scheduling or staffing decisions.
- Not a replacement for ASAP, your fatigue reporting, peer support, HIMS or EAP. They stay as they are.
- Not a crisis line.
For unions and associationsWhat happens if a check-in raises a safety concernThe science
For maintenance organizations
Line and hangar maintenance runs on night shifts, heavy checks and turn times. Mechanics, inspectors and shift leads use the same check-in as pilots: about 3 minutes, and each result stays with the person.
No link to drug testing, discipline or personnel records.
- Runs it
Safety or human-factors lead
Reads the group's readiness alongside the MEDA and event reviews the team already runs.
- Signs
Director of maintenance
Gets a group read ahead of a heavy check or a busy season, with no names and nothing to act on for one person.
- Sees it first
Your maintenance union
Show it to your union before anyone checks in.
For the accountable executive and director of operations
- A group read with no names.Your SMS gets a readiness trend for the group. Okaya is never for scheduling, staffing or discipline.
- Proof in military aviation.The U.S. Air Force awarded Okaya SBIR Phase I and Phase II contracts. Okaya completed Phase II with an active U.S. Air Force flying unit.

- Okaya is a short, private readiness check-in for pilots and maintenance crews. Each person talks with Sanora, Okaya's AI guide, for about 3 minutes. They see how today compares with their own earlier check-ins.
- Individual results stay private to the individual. Leadership sees anonymized, aggregated unit-level readiness only. Never who checked in, how anyone did, or anything they said. A leader cannot see who checked in.
- Okaya does not report to the FAA or an aviation medical examiner. Your employer sees only the group. It is not a medical exam or a fitness-for-duty finding. It sits beside ASAP and your fatigue reporting and replaces neither. What happens if a check-in raises a safety concern
Questions
Can we see which pilots checked in, or how one pilot did?
No. A leader cannot see who checked in. Individual results stay private to the individual. Leadership sees anonymized, aggregated unit-level readiness only. Never who checked in, how anyone did, or anything they said.
Does anything go to the FAA or an aviation medical examiner?
No. Okaya does not report to the FAA or an aviation medical examiner. Your employer sees only the group. Okaya is not a medical exam and not a fitness-for-duty finding. Our safety page, okaya.me/safety, explains what happens if a check-in raises a safety concern.
Does it replace a pilot's own fitness declaration or a fatigue call?
No. Okaya is not a fitness-for-duty finding, and it does not replace any step in your fatigue program. A pilot's own fitness and fatigue decisions stay with the pilot.
How does it fit with our SMS and ASAP?
It sits beside them. ASAP, confidential reporting and fatigue reports stay as they are, and Okaya is not part of ASAP. The safety team gets a group readiness trend to read next to the reports it already has.
Should our union see it first?
Yes. Show it to your union safety committee before anyone checks in. Our sheet for unions and associations explains who sees what, at okaya.me/unions.
Is Okaya connected to drug and alcohol testing?
No link to drug testing, discipline or personnel records. Mechanics, inspectors and pilots check in the same way, and each result stays with the person.
We are a small operator with two or three pilots. Does it work for us?
A group of two or three is below the minimum size for the group view, so there is no team plan for it. Each person can still use Okaya on their own and keep their own result.
Do you work with charter and air medical operators?
Yes, as a separate track, because bases are often small. Talk to us and tell us how your bases are set up.
Do crews need to install anything?
No. Each person checks in on their own phone or laptop in the web browser.
