Scheduling and Maintenance Software for Flight Schools

Instructors, students, and aircraft on one board

Training operations juggle instructors, students, and a shared fleet. Sky Duty puts every aircraft on one Gantt board with conflict detection, tags trips with a Flight Training operation type, and shares ICS calendar feeds — so a CFI and a trainer are never double-booked, and everyone sees the same schedule.

• Every aircraft on one board with conflict detection
• Flight Training operation type for training trips
• Day, 3-day, week, and month views
• ICS calendar feeds so instructors and students see assignments

Which means: a CFI, a student, and an airplane line up on one board instead of a wall calendar and a phone tree.

Do not send a student up in a squawked airplane

Aircraft used for instruction require 100-hour inspections on top of the annual. Sky Duty counts inspections down by date, hours, or landings, auto-populates FAA certificate data, and shows a due, overdue, and grounded view — so a trainer that is out of inspection is flagged before it goes on the schedule.

• 100-hour and annual countdowns by date, hours, or landings
• FAA certificate expirations auto-populated from the registry
• Squawks with photos, reported from the post-flight screen
• Due, overdue, and grounded status at a glance

Which means: a trainer that is due or grounded is visible before a student and instructor are scheduled onto it.

Currency tracked from logged flights

When a scheduled training flight closes out, the digital logbook captures the leg, so nobody re-types it. Currency is tracked from logged flight time, landings, and approaches, and the whole logbook exports to PDF and CSV for checkrides and reviews.

• Auto-fills from completed trips — no double entry
• Currency tracked from logged flight time, landings, and approaches
• Template-driven entries with the fields you use
• PDF and CSV export, plus 47,000+ airports worldwide

Which means: instructor and student currency comes from the flights they actually log, and it exports cleanly for a checkride.

A role for every instructor and staff member

A flight school is owners, instructors, students, and mechanics — and they should not all see the same thing. Sky Duty ships built-in roles including CFI, with a custom permission matrix, so an instructor sees their schedule and logbook while a mechanic works the maintenance queue. Unlimited users are included.

• Built-in roles including Owner, Admin, CFI, and Mechanic
• Custom permission matrix, down to field level
• PIC and SIC assignment per leg
• Unlimited users at every aircraft tier

Which means: you add every instructor and staffer without a per-seat charge, and each one sees the slice of the operation that is theirs.

Honest about the scope

Sky Duty is not a learning management system, a syllabus tracker, a gradebook, or a student-billing platform. It does not schedule a training syllabus, record lesson grades, or bill student accounts. It runs the flight operation — scheduling, aircraft, maintenance, and the logbook — alongside whatever training-management tool you use. It is also not an electronic flight bag; keep your EFB for charts, weather briefings, and navigation.
