Built for FBOs & Aircraft Owners
Rent aircraft to renters you've never met with the same confidence as your regulars
Why FBOs Choose SimpleFBO
Running a rental fleet means juggling renters you know well and renters you've just met, across aircraft with different equipment and different checkout requirements. SimpleFBO keeps that straight automatically instead of relying on a logbook and institutional memory.
Renter Self-Service Booking
Renters reserve aircraft themselves from a real-time calendar that prevents double-bookings across your whole fleet. You see every reservation at a glance instead of fielding phone calls to check availability.
Per-Aircraft Checkout Requirements
Every tail number can require its own checkout quiz before a renter is allowed to book it. A renter checked out in your 172 doesn't get to book the complex single until they've passed that aircraft's quiz — enforced automatically at booking time, not left to whoever happens to be at the front desk.
Maintenance Tracking Across a Mixed Fleet
Hobbs check-in and check-out on every flight keeps 100-hour inspection tracking current for each aircraft without anyone doing the math by hand. Renters report squawks directly from the aircraft's page, so discrepancies reach you the same day instead of at the next scheduled inspection.
Weather at a Glance
Set your home airport once in Settings and current METAR and TAF conditions for your field show up automatically on the dashboard — wind, visibility, and flight category, without switching to a separate app before heading to the aircraft.
Custom Check-In Data
Decide exactly what gets captured when an aircraft comes back — landings, fuel used, anything specific to your operation — and mark each item billable or informational, fleet-wide or for a single tail number. Billable items are ready to invoice the moment check-in is complete.
Weight & Balance
Configure each aircraft's empty weight, stations, and CG envelope, and renters get an optional calculator right inside the checkout flow to check their weight and balance before they fly — a planning aid, not a gate that blocks checkout.
Invoicing and Billing Records
Every reservation, checkout, and check-in rolls up into an itemized invoice your renters can view online, so rental and instruction charges don't have to be reconstructed from memory at the end of the month. Connect your own Stripe account so renters can pay online by card or ACH, and sync invoices to QuickBooks Online with a click to keep your books current.
Certificates and Currency, Tracked Per Renter
Renters keep their certificates, medical, and other documents in the system with expiration dates tracked automatically — one less thing your front desk has to remember to check.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
Pricing is a flat rate per aircraft, not per renter — so growing your renter base doesn't grow your bill. See our Pricing page for current plans, or contact us to talk through what fits your operation.
