Buyer’s guide
How to compare flight school software
Choose software against the work your school needs to do. Ask each supplier the same questions, use your own fleet and payment volumes, and confirm that the features you need are available in your region.
Questions to ask every supplier
Aircraft and maintenance
Can staff record defects and ground an aircraft? Are reminders based on calendar dates, flight hours or both?
Training
Can instructors record progress against your training programme? What can students see, and who can change a record?
Student access
Which tasks can students complete on a phone, such as booking, cancellation, viewing progress and payment?
Payments
Can the system prepare invoices and accept your required payment methods? Ask about processing fees, refunds and reconciliation.
Safety and records
What safety-reporting and expiry-date workflows are included? Check how records are retained, exported and accessed.
Total cost
Compare the same fleet size and billing period. Include setup, taxes, payment fees, extra modules and any limits on users.
Implementation
Ask how data is moved, what training is included, how support works and how you can leave with your records.
