Flight School Management Software — Aircraft Scheduling, Training, Maintenance & Billing

Flight Suite HQ vs Flight Schedule Pro

Flight Schedule Pro, now part of Pilotbase, is the largest incumbent in US flight training and has earned that position. The most useful difference for a buyer is the simplest one: we publish what we charge, and they quote it.

What each one charges

Flight Suite HQ $100/month (5 × $15 + 50 × $0.50). Flight Schedule Pro: not published — request a quote.

Compared across

What Flight Schedule Pro does well

A mature platform with a large US installed base and a real implementation process. Unlimited courses, Part 61 and Part 141 compliance, Intelligent Scheduling, strong reporting, and offline lesson grading on native iOS — which genuinely matters at a field with no signal, and which Flight Suite HQ does not currently match.

Where Flight Suite HQ is the better fit

You want to know what it costs before a sales call, and you want the modules Flight Schedule Pro sells as separate Hubs in one price. Safety and SMS, live ADS-B fleet tracking, engine-health trending, leaseback owner statements and charter operations are in the Flight Suite HQ base price rather than in a tier or a quote.

Moving your data across

Flight Schedule Pro publishes a developer API. Flight Suite HQ can connect through it and bring across students, instructors, aircraft, reservations, flight history, training records, squawks, maintenance and billing history, so an operator can evaluate on their own data before cutting over.

Common questions

How much does Flight Schedule Pro cost?

Flight Schedule Pro publishes an entry price for its Scheduling Hub from $60 per month. The Billing, Training, Maintenance and Reporting Hubs, the all-in-one Suite, and the Advanced Reporting add-on are quoted rather than published, so the total depends on which modules you need.

Is Flight Suite HQ cheaper than Flight Schedule Pro?

We cannot say for certain, because Flight Schedule Pro does not publish enough pricing to compare. Flight Suite HQ is $15 per aircraft per month plus $0.50 per active user, published on the site, with every operational module included. A five-aircraft school with 50 active members pays $100 per month.

Can I move my data from Flight Schedule Pro to Flight Suite HQ?

Yes. Flight Schedule Pro publishes a developer API, and we can use it to bring students, instructors, aircraft, reservations, flight history, training records, squawks, maintenance history and billing history across so you can evaluate Flight Suite HQ with your own data first.

What does Flight Schedule Pro do better?

Offline lesson grading in its native iOS app, which Flight Suite HQ does not currently match, and a longer track record with large academies and collegiate programs.
