01

One system for the whole flight line.

Five jobs that used to live in a shoebox, a spreadsheet, and three text threads — now a single connected loop.

See your Part 61 progress by the hour and by the maneuver — what's done, what's next, and exactly what's still standing between you and your solo or checkride.

TRACKSEvery hour, maneuver, and ground item
FLAGSWhat's left before solo & checkride

Money never has to come up between a student and their instructor. Charges settle when a flight closes and split to the CFI and owner on their own — instructors get paid on time, and the lesson stays about flying.

HOLDSEach charge until the flight closes out
PAYSCFI & owner automatically, on time

Book from real availability across private, CFI-listed, and public aircraft — with maintenance windows, open squawks, and conflicts already accounted for.

BOOKSIn one tap from any open slot

Close out a flight and it logs itself. Your totals, currency, and endorsements stay up to date without anyone typing a single row.

EXPORTS8710-ready totals whenever you need them

Owners list and share their aircraft by tier; renters only ever see the planes they're actually cleared and rated to fly.

Book it. Fly it. Close it out.

WPT 01
Book

Pick a plane (and instructor, if it is a lesson). The system checks currency and airworthiness and flags what isn't ready.

WPT 02
Fly

Check in with Hobbs and tach, fly the flight, then check out. The clock and the money are held live.

WPT 03
Close

One tap closes the flight. Logbook, syllabus, charges, and payouts all settle downstream.

↺

The moment a flight closes, the logbook entry posts, syllabus progress advances, the escrowed charge trues up, and payouts split to the instructor and plane owner — automatically.

Flight-training aircraft on the ramp at golden hour

Real airplanes. Real hours.
No shoebox.

From the first discovery flight to the checkride — every tail number, endorsement, and dollar accounted for.

03

Five roles. One flight line.
