Hobbstack for flight schools
Flight school management software that runs the whole operation
Student scheduling, instructor approval, dispatch, maintenance, billing, and digital logbooks in one platform — so your front desk stops re-typing and your schedule stops surprising you.
Double-booked aircraft and instructors
Conflict-free scheduling across every aircraft, sim, and instructor — with optional instructor approval on student bookings and dispatch chaining that releases the next flight the moment the previous one checks in.
Students booking flights they aren't endorsed for
Endorsement tracking built on FAA AC 61-65H templates, enforced at booking time. A student missing the required endorsement can't reserve the flight in the first place.
Front-desk re-typing at every checkout
The flight wizard turns checkout into auto-generated invoices and dispatch receipts — Hobbs and tach captured once, billed once, logged once.
Maintenance surprises grounding the schedule
Cycle-based maintenance forecasting with grounding flags that show up directly on the schedule, so a 100-hour coming due never ambushes a fully-booked Saturday.

Common questions from flight schools
How much does Hobbstack cost for a flight school?
Pricing scales with aircraft count only: $19/mo base plus a marginal per-aircraft rate that decreases as your fleet grows. A five-aircraft school pays $79/mo. Members, instructors, and students are unlimited at every tier, and annual billing gets two months free.
Can students book their own flights?
Yes. Students book directly on the schedule, with optional instructor approval before the reservation confirms. Endorsement requirements are enforced at booking, so a student who isn't endorsed for the activity can't reserve it.
We already use another scheduling system. Is switching painful?
Switchers get 50% off their first 12 months — upload proof of a prior subscription (an invoice or billing screenshot) and the discount applies automatically to monthly or annual billing. No sales call required.
Does it work at airports with bad connectivity?
Yes. Hobbstack is an offline-first progressive web app — the flight wizard, checkouts, and logbook drafts keep working without a connection and sync automatically when you're back online.
