Everything a flight school needs to run.
Students enrol, progress and graduate. Instructors set their availability and are paid for what they fly. Every completed lesson becomes a charge. Operations is everything in Scheduling Core, plus the tools that run a school.
Enrolment, from sign-up to graduation.
Set up your courses with their own pricing. Students enrol, join a course waiting list when you are full, are promoted when a place opens, and graduate at the end. Course flying is restricted to enrolled students, so only the right people can book it.
- Enrol, waitlist, promote and graduate students per course
- Course waiting lists with promotion when a place frees up
- Course bookings gated to enrolled students by restriction rules
- Per-course pricing that drives the charges automatically
Instructors manage their own week.
Each instructor has a portal: they publish availability, see their diary, subscribe it into their own calendar, and complete flights as they happen. Completing a flight prices and charges it immediately. Standby digests email them unmet demand, and payouts account for the flying they did.
- Availability managed by the instructor, honoured by every booking
- Flight completion creates the student's charges automatically
- Standby digests turn cancellations into extra lessons
- Instructor payouts, calculated from the flying that actually happened
Sell courses and block hours
Packages and block-hour accounts keep students committed and your cash flow ahead of costs.
Packages
Bundle flying, ground school and landing fees into one sellable package with its own price.
Block-hour accounts
Packages fund prepayment accounts with allowances. Lessons draw them down, and alerts fire as an account approaches zero.
Charged on landing
Every completed flight is priced at your rates and charged to the student's account automatically.
Training records are next.
We are building competency-based training records and student progression into Operations now. Records will be structured and digital, progression will be visible to student, instructor and office, and every file will be ready for audit at any time. A Safety Management System will follow.
- Competency-based training records will replace the paper file Coming soon
- Student progression will show who is ready for solo, and who is stuck Coming soon
- Safety Management System reporting will live alongside the ops data Coming soon
