Flying School Booking Software for New Zealand.
The aeroplane being free is only half an answer. If nobody is available to sit in the right-hand seat, that hour was never really for sale.
Start with Google- One booking, two resources held
- Weekly students set up once
- Stood-down lessons reschedule
- Trial flights sell themselves
- Aircraft close for maintenance
Online booking
A first flight should not need a phone call
Put the trial flight on your page at its own price. It lands against an aircraft and an instructor who are both genuinely free that morning.

Aircraft on one axis, instructors on the other
Read both down the same day and an overlap turns up midweek, well before somebody discovers it standing on the apron on Saturday morning.

Almost every diary assumes one thing gets booked. A flying school books two, and the gap between that assumption and reality is a lost Saturday.
Both, or neither
An hour is only for sale when an aeroplane and an instructor are both free. Anything else is a booking you will be apologising for later.
Found on Wednesday, not Saturday
With the fleet and the instructors on the same day view, an overlap shows up while there is still time to move somebody rather than at the gate.
Hours belong to people
Each instructor carries their own availability, so covering a sick day means picking from whoever is actually flying rather than whoever answers.
Three ways a lesson does not happen.
The airframe is in the hangar, the sky is wrong, or every instructor is already in the air. Only the first of those is about the aeroplane.
A first flight, sold overnight.
The one thing here you can sell to somebody who has never phoned you. It lands against a real aircraft and a real instructor, not a callback.
Built for your school
Built for every hour you sell
A birthday present that books itself
Someone buys a trial flight at eleven at night and it is in the diary against a real aircraft before you have opened the hangar next morning.
Nine o’clock, every Saturday, all season
The keen student who never misses a week is entered once and repeats, with an end date so the slot frees up when they have finished.
The aeroplane was free, the instructor was not
Both are held by the same booking, so an hour is only offered when there is genuinely somebody to fly it and somebody to teach in it.
Wind across the strip
Reschedule instead of scrapping it. The student, the price and whatever they have paid all travel to the new morning together.
One instructor down
Hand the day to whoever is genuinely rostered. Hours belong to the person, so the work cannot fall on somebody who is not flying that day.
A hundred-hourly falling due
Close that airframe for the days it is in the hangar. Everything else in the fleet keeps taking bookings without a word from you.
Hire for somebody already qualified
Selling the aircraft on its own is a different product to selling a lesson, and pricing it that way keeps instructors free for students.
Coming back after a wet winter
Their whole history is on one record, so restarting a student who disappeared in June does not begin with a search through old emails.
The student who flies every Saturday.
A school's revenue is not the trial flight. It is the person booking the same nine o'clock for a year, and nobody should be re-entering that.
Set once, runs all year
A weekly slot repeats on the Free plan and ends on a date or after an agreed number of lessons, so the slot frees itself when they finish.
Maintenance closes one airframe
Take an aircraft out for the days it is in the hangar and every other aircraft carries on booking normally, without a note on a whiteboard.
The record follows the student
Every lesson flown and every payment made sits on one customer, so somebody coming back after a wet winter is a glance rather than a search.

Two customers who pay nothing alike.
Somebody buying one flight for a birthday and somebody flying every week for a year should not be handled by the same rule.
Strangers pay up front
A trial flight is settled in full by card as it is booked on Pro, which is what you want from a name you have never seen before.
Regulars pay how they always have
A monthly bank transfer from a long-standing student is entered by hand on Free and sits against their record with everything else.
One record, whichever way
Hours flown and money received end up on the same customer, so the answer to where somebody is up to is one screen rather than a search.

One app for every booking
Everything you need to run your flying school business.
Aircraft and instructor
One booking claims both. Neither can be sold out from under the other, so a free airframe with no instructor never appears as an open hour.
Weather moves the booking
A lesson lost to wind is rescheduled rather than scrapped, carrying the student, the agreed price and any money already recorded with it.
Email reminders
One email confirms the booking, another arrives before the lesson with the time and the meeting point. Email only, and never a phone message.

Common questions.
It does. Both are claimed for that hour, which is why an airframe with no instructor available never shows up as bookable time on your page.
Enter it once as a standing booking on the Free plan. It repeats weekly or monthly and finishes on a date or after a number of lessons.
Reschedule it. The student stays attached, the price stays the same and any money already recorded against the booking travels with it.
Yes. Close the airframe for the days it is unavailable and the rest of the fleet carries on being bookable exactly as before.
No. They sell from your own page at whatever you charge, and the booking arrives already attached to an aircraft and an instructor.
Yes, and it should be. Hire claims the aircraft alone, so selling it never takes an instructor away from a student who needed one.
