The Problem We Solve
Running a flight operation shouldn't require five different tools. Most flight schools juggle disconnected systems that create data silos, duplicated entry, and operational blind spots that cost real money — a spreadsheet for scheduling, a paper logbook for maintenance, a separate accounting app for billing, a whiteboard for squawks, email threads for communication, and a binder for compliance records. Flight Suite HQ replaces all of them with one platform.
What Makes Us Different
These aren't add-ons or premium tiers. Every feature below is part of the standard platform at one transparent price:
- Live ADS-B Fleet Tracking — Watch every aircraft on an interactive map in real time. Altitude, airspeed, heading, and flight replay for debriefs — built into the platform, not a separate subscription.
- AC 120-78B Electronic Recordkeeping — SHA-256 cryptographically signed records, immutable audit trails, LOA A025 tracking, and formal correction workflows. Audit-ready at all times.
- Full 14 CFR Part 5 SMS — Complete Safety Management System with hazard reporting, risk matrix scoring, safety objectives, corrective actions, and compliance checklists.
- Automatic Aircraft Grounding — When a 100-hour or annual inspection goes overdue, the aircraft is removed from the schedule automatically. No one can accidentally book a non-airworthy plane.
- Stripe Connect Instructor Payouts — Instructors connect their own Stripe account and get paid directly for each lesson. Splits, fees, and 1099 reporting are handled automatically.
- Charter Quote-to-Dispatch Workflow — From initial quote to passenger manifests, TSA verification, crew assignment, trip release, and invoicing — the entire charter workflow in one system.
Who We Serve
- Part 61 Flight Schools — Flexible scheduling, custom endorsements, milestone tracking, and pay-as-you-go billing for independent instruction.
- Part 141 Certificated Schools — FAA-approved syllabus management, stage checks, AC 120-78B recordkeeping, and one-click student record PDF export for inspections.
- Flying Clubs & Partnerships — Fair scheduling, tiered memberships, cost allocation, prepaid block hours, and automated monthly billing for member-owned operations.
- Charter Operators — Quote generation, passenger manifests, TSA tracking, crew scheduling, dispatch, and trip invoicing for on-demand carriers.
One Platform, Every Operation
When an aircraft returns from a flight, the system automatically updates Hobbs time, generates the invoice, checks inspection due dates, and alerts the next pilot if a squawk was filed — all without anyone touching a spreadsheet.

Our Story
Flight Suite HQ was born from a simple frustration: running a flight operation shouldn't require three different apps, a stack of binders, and a whiteboard. We're pilots, instructors, and aviation professionals who lived the daily reality of scheduling conflicts, maintenance tracking, student progress, payments, and the endless spreadsheets that slow everything down. We watched schools lose money to double-booked aircraft, fly non-airworthy planes because a squawk didn't get communicated, and spend evenings doing paperwork instead of being at the airport. So we built the platform we wished existed — one where scheduling, training, maintenance, billing, compliance, safety, and communication share a single source of truth.
Our Mission
To empower flight schools and clubs with modern tools that help them operate efficiently, safely, and profitably — without sacrificing the joy of aviation.
