FAQ: Compliance Software Selection

Q: Can we use MmowW + a spreadsheet backup?

A: Technically yes, but unnecessary. MmowW auto-backs up everything (encrypted cloud + local export). Spreadsheet backup adds zero value & creates confusion about which is current.

Q: Is MmowW data safe? What if your company goes under?

A: MmowW encrypts all data (AES-256). If company ceases, you receive full export (all flight logs, certificates, documents) within 30 days. No data is locked.

Q: Can we migrate from spreadsheets to MmowW without losing data?

A: Yes. MmowW supports bulk import from Excel/CSV. Historical data (flights, maintenance, training) can be imported. Takes 1–2 hours.

Q: Do we need MmowW if we're not an OA holder?

A: Even small VLOS operators benefit. Certification tracking alone prevents €8,000+ fines. Insurance monitoring prevents €7,000+ fines. €73/year is cheap insurance.

Q: What if we switch from MmowW to another tool later?
