Why operators choose SimpleFBO over Flight Schedule Pro
SimpleFBO was started by a student pilot frustrated with scheduling tools that weren't built around how flight training and club operations actually run — or priced for how small they actually are.
Flat pricing, not hub-stacking
One rate per aircraft, published up front. You don't need a call to find out what a 4-aircraft club or a 12-aircraft school would actually cost.
Nobody flies unsigned-off
Quiz-gated checkout means a student can't book an aircraft until they've passed that aircraft's quiz — enforced by the system, not a sticky note.
One system, not three spreadsheets
Hobbs check-in feeds maintenance alerts and invoicing directly — the numbers stay consistent because there is only one source of them.
When Flight Schedule Pro is the better choice
No disparagement here — Flight Schedule Pro serves a real segment well. If any of these matter most to your operation, it's likely the better fit today:
Part 141/61 recordkeeping and compliance reporting requirements
Integrated card payments, a card reader, and QuickBooks Online sync out of the box
A native iPad/iPhone app with offline lesson grading
Large, multi-campus university or career-training operations that need custom reporting dashboards and an established vendor track record
Who SimpleFBO is built for
Flying clubs and small-to-mid Part 61 flight schools that need real scheduling, maintenance, and billing tools — without the enterprise hub-and-quote sales process. If that's your operation, flat per-aircraft pricing usually beats a custom quote.
