Aircraft Reservation Management
Easily schedule and manage aircraft reservations with our intuitive calendar system. Whether you're a private owner, flight school, or FBO, our reservation system helps you coordinate aircraft availability, track bookings, and manage your fleet efficiently.
Intelligent Maintenance Scheduling
Keep your aircraft in top condition with automated maintenance tracking and scheduling. Our system helps you stay compliant with maintenance requirements, track service history, and plan ahead to minimize aircraft downtime.
Home Airport Weather
Set your organization's home airport once in Settings, and current METAR and TAF conditions for that field show up automatically on the dashboard and weather page for every member — no more typing in an identifier every time you check the weather.
Better Pilot Training
Raise the bar with company training quizzes and FAR/AIM-aligned system quizzes — including magnetic compass deviation and advanced compass turning errors — that every organization can require with a completion date. Pair that with aircraft-specific rental quizzes that can block booking until pilots pass, so training sticks before wheels-up.
Online Payments & QuickBooks Sync
Connect your own Stripe account and let members pay their invoices online by card or ACH bank transfer. Payments go straight to your organization's bank account — SimpleFBO never sits in the middle of your money.
Connect QuickBooks Online and sync customers, invoices, and payments straight from the invoices page with a click — keeping your books current without re-keying anything by hand.
Volunteer Hours Tracking
Set required volunteer hours per membership role — monthly, quarterly, or yearly — and let the system do the bookkeeping. Members earn credit by joining admin-created volunteer events (which post to the news feed automatically) or by logging individual time like a fuel run or a hangar cleanup. Everyone can see their own progress at a glance: X of Y hours completed.
Everything else, included
Student Management
Track student progress, manage training records, and coordinate flight schedules all in one place. Our platform supports unlimited active students and provides tools for instructors to customize lessons and flight plans for each student, creating a personalized learning experience.
Unlimited Renters
Manage as many renters as you need without additional fees. Our platform scales with your operations, whether you're managing a few aircraft or an entire fleet.
Membership Dues & Flexible Billing
Set a flat monthly rate per membership role and members are billed automatically on the 1st — no more chasing dues by hand. Per aircraft, choose whether rental time is billed by Hobbs or Tach, so billing matches how each airframe is actually metered.
Live News Feed
Post updates for your whole organization and they appear instantly for every member who has the page open — no refresh needed — each one showing the poster's photo or initials so everyone knows who said what.
Weight & Balance Calculator
Configure each aircraft's empty weight, stations, and CG envelope once, and pilots get an optional weight and balance calculator right inside the checkout flow — enter passengers, baggage, and fuel to see total weight, CG, and remaining useful load plotted against the envelope before they fly.
Custom Check-In Items
Define exactly what you want captured when an aircraft is checked in — landings, fuel used, anything specific to your operation — and mark each item billable or informational, required or optional, and apply it fleet-wide or to a single tail number. Billable items are ready to invoice the moment check-in is complete.
Reservation Types & Destination Airport
Every booking captures a destination airport and a reservation type — Pilot Rental, Dual Instruction, Student Solo, Maintenance, and more — color-coded on the calendar and shown only to the roles that should see them. Choose which types your organization uses from Settings.
Invite Team Members
Bring on new members by email. They sign in or create an account, accept the invite, and they're in — no manual account setup required on your end.
Ground School
Integrated ground school features help flight schools provide comprehensive training programs. Manage curriculum, track student progress, and ensure your students are well-prepared for their flight training.
Comprehensive Documentation
Store and manage all your aircraft documents, maintenance records, and compliance paperwork in one centralized location. No more searching through filing cabinets or email threads—everything you need is at your fingertips.
No Hidden Fees
Our pricing is simple and straightforward: a flat rate per aircraft, with no hidden fees or per-student charges. What you see on our Pricing page is what you pay.
Time and Cost Savings
Hobbs check-in/out data automatically drives your 100-hour inspection alerts and earnings dashboard, so nobody has to track it by hand. Replace time-consuming manual processes — paper logs, spreadsheets, email threads — with tools that work together out of the box.
