The AutoPilot platform
AutoPilot is the name over everything we build for aviation. Each product does one job properly. Take the one you need — they share a single login and a single set of data, so the hours in a student's training record at the school and the hours in their own logbook are the same hours, not two copies of them.
The operations system for flight schools, flying clubs and Part 61/141 operators. Scheduling, dispatch, maintenance and billing on one board — the thing your front desk lives in all day. This is the product most people come to us for.
A digital logbook that actually understands currency. Log a flight, and AutoPilot works out where you stand on flight review, IFR currency, and day and night passenger-carrying — before it lapses, not after.
Checklists and references worth keeping in the flight bag. Checkride prep, maneuver standards, preflight references — written for the student sitting in the run-up area, not for a search engine.
Every product, on the phone that's already in your pocket. Students book and check in, instructors sign off and log, dispatch grounds an aircraft from the ramp. Native iPhone and iPad apps are in build — Fleet runs in any mobile browser today.
AutoPilot Fleet
Most schools are running a scheduler, a spreadsheet for maintenance, an accounting package, and a filing cabinet of endorsements. Fleet is one system where a booking becomes a dispatch, a dispatch becomes an invoice, and a squawk takes the aircraft off the board on its own.
Aircraft, instructors, sims and classrooms on one live calendar. Conflicts get caught before the booking is made, not when the student turns up. Students self-book inside the rules you set — currency, balance, and aircraft checkout all enforced automatically.
Self-dispatch from the app or centralise it at the desk — your call. Hobbs and tach go in at check-in, the flight closes out, the invoice is raised, and the hours land in the aircraft's maintenance clock. One flow, no re-keying.
Every aircraft carries its own countdown — hours to the 100-hour, months to the annual, cycles on the prop. File a squawk and the aircraft comes off the board immediately, with everyone booked on it told why. Nobody walks out to a broken airplane.
Card on file, invoice on check-in, statements that send themselves. Block scheduling on an outstanding balance if that's your policy. Block packages, member rates, and prepaid hour blocks all burn down where the student can see them.
Part 61 and Part 141 recordkeeping that stands up to an inspection. Syllabus, lessons, stage checks, and endorsements attached to the student — not to a folder in a cabinet. Instructors grade on the phone before they've left the ramp.
Utilization per tail, revenue per aircraft, instructor load, students stalled between stages. The numbers an owner actually runs the business on — not a data export you have to build a spreadsheet around.
Why operators move
We didn't set out to build another scheduler. We built this because the schools our pilots came from kept describing the same five problems.
Pricing
You shouldn't need a discovery call and a quote to find out what software costs. Scroll down — the number is right there, and it's the same number for everyone.
Seats
Add every student, instructor, mechanic and front-desk staffer you have. The bill doesn't move. Growing your school shouldn't be a line item.
Mobile
Instructors and students live on their phones. The iOS app does the whole job — book, dispatch, grade, log, squawk — not a cut-down view of the desktop.
Speed
New front-desk hire, first shift, no training day. If a system needs a week of onboarding to book an airplane, that's a design failure, not a feature.
Switching
Aircraft, users, rates, training records, open balances and history. Send us an export from whatever you're on now and we'll bring it over — included, not a professional-services line item. Run both systems in parallel until you're happy.
Pricing
Unlimited students, instructors and admin users on every plan. No setup fee, no per-seat creep, no annual contract. Migration from your current system is included.
Club
Flying clubs and rental fleets that need the flight line to run itself.
School
Part 61 and Part 141 schools running students through to a certificate.
Academy
Career academies and universities with airline partners to report to.
30-day free trial, no card. Annual billing takes two months off. Grounded aircraft don't bill — if a tail is down for the month, you don't pay for it.
AutoPilot on iOS — in build
Nobody dispatches an aircraft from a desk. Students should be able to check in from the ramp, instructors should sign off before the engine's cool, and a squawk should go in while the mechanic is still looking at the thing. That's what we're building for iPhone and iPad — the whole job, not a cut-down view of the desktop. Fleet runs in the browser on any device today; the native apps are next.
About AutoPilot
AutoPilot started on the pilot's side of the fence — a logbook that actually understood currency, because the ones we were using couldn't tell us whether we were legal to carry a passenger next Tuesday.
The more we talked to the schools and clubs we were flying at, the more we heard the same thing. The software running the flight line was slow, quoted rather than priced, and clearly built a long time ago. Front desks were keeping a second copy of everything in a spreadsheet.
So we built Fleet. AutoPilot is now the name over all of it — one account and one set of data, whether you're a student logging a first solo, a chief instructor signing an endorsement, or an owner working out which tail is paying for itself.
Published, flat, and the same for everyone. No quote, no negotiation, no "let's get you on a call with sales."
A student's training record at the school and the logbook on their own phone shouldn't be two databases with two different sets of hours.
You should never have to explain what a Hobbs meter is, or why an aircraft can't fly on a red squawk, to the person helping you.
Export everything, any time, in a format that opens. Leaving should be as easy as arriving. It's the only thing that keeps us honest.
Thirty days, no card. Send us your current schedule and aircraft list and we'll load them in, so on day one you're looking at your own operation — not a demo.
