For flight schools & independent CFIs

Run dispatch like a Part 141 operation.

Students brief, instructors review, aircraft clear maintenance — in one place, with the records to show for it. Works for a 200-student academy and for a single CFI with four students.

The dispatch loop

The point is that nobody launches on a briefing an instructor hasn't seen.

01

Student briefs

Weather, route, personal minimums, FRAT score, and weight & balance — assembled into one dispatch packet instead of four screenshots.

02

Instructor reviews

The packet lands in a live queue. The CFI sees the same numbers the student saw, plus what the student's minimums actually are, and approves or sends it back with notes.

03

Aircraft clears

Open squawks are visible at dispatch. Grounding items block the release until an A&P signs them off.

04

It's on the record

Every approval, briefing, and endorsement is retained — so a 141 audit or an insurance question has an answer.

What instructors get

Live dispatch queue

Pending requests, who's waiting, and the weather behind each one. Approve, hold, or return with a note.

Student progress

Syllabus completion, lesson assignment across three curricula, weak areas surfaced from their study data, and readiness signals before you schedule a checkride.

Part 141 training records

Structured records with DOCX export for your files, plus flight review and medical currency tracking.

Endorsements

Issue and track endorsements against the student's record instead of a logbook you have to be holding.

Squawks & maintenance

Digital squawk sheet with grounding logic, A&P sign-off, and a fleet view of what's down and why.

Scheduling weather

Tomorrow's schedule against tomorrow's forecast, so you cancel on Tuesday instead of at the hold-short line on Wednesday.

School minimums

Set operation-wide floors that sit on top of each student's personal minimums. The stricter number always wins.

Debriefs & workload

Post-flight debrief records, instructor workload, and analytics on where students are getting stuck.

Roles, and who can see what

Student privacy is enforced server-side, not just hidden in the UI. A student's data is visible to their instructor and their school — not to other students, and not to instructors at other schools.

Student

  • Their own briefings, logbook, and training
  • Submits dispatch requests to their CFI
  • Sees assigned lessons and endorsements

Instructor

  • Their own roster only
  • Dispatch queue, progress, endorsements, records
  • Free Pro while they have an active student

Chief pilot / owner

  • The whole operation: fleet, staff, compliance
  • Seat management and school-wide minimums
  • Audit log of staff actions

Getting started

New schools start on a 30-day trial with 10 seats — enough to run a real cohort through dispatch before deciding. Students join with a code; there's nothing to install beyond the app they'd use anyway, and no per-student license to buy for them.

Independent CFI, not a school? You don't need any of this to get started. Register one student and instructor Pro is free — the roster, dispatch review, lesson assignment, and endorsement tools come with it.
Pricing is a conversation. Seat pricing depends on size and whether you're Part 61 or 141, so we quote it directly rather than posting a number that's wrong for most schools. Email us and you'll get a real answer, not a sales sequence.
