Scheduling software tells you who is flying. FlightSurface tells you whether the airplane can actually go — verifying airworthiness, maintenance, fuel, medicals, and weather automatically before every lesson.
Schools get a 30-day free trial · FBO fuel desks and pilot accounts are free
The office software your school already has stops at the schedule and the invoice. FlightSurface covers everything that happens between the booking and the wheels leaving the ground.
Before every lesson, FlightSurface verifies the aircraft is airworthy, inspections are current, fuel is sufficient, the instructor is assigned, the student's medical is valid, and weather meets minimums. Anything short of all six flags the flight for the dispatcher.
Type-specific checklists on a phone or tablet, saved as the pilot taps through. Find a problem mid-walkaround and file the squawk right there — a grounding item pulls the airplane off the schedule instantly and notifies maintenance.
Pilots request fuel with tail number, ramp spot, type, and quantity. The fuel desk works a live queue — accept, en route, complete — and the aircraft's fuel state updates itself the moment the truck is done.
Distance, time enroute, fuel with reserves, and weight & balance across 2,420 US airports on a real map. It uses the fuel actually onboard that tail number — and warns you before dispatch, not after.
Color-coded aircraft and instructor calendars with drag-free conflict prevention. A grounded airplane simply cannot be booked, and no student, instructor, or aircraft can be double-booked.
Ask "Is N560SR ready to fly?" or "What inspections are due?" and get an answer from the live maintenance, squawk, and fuel records — not a search box.
Existing flight school platforms handle scheduling, billing, and training records well. None of them run the flight line.
