Flight school management software for India

Before the first sortie, someone at every school answers the same questions. Which aircraft are airworthy? Which ones are close to a check? Which instructors and students are current to fly? In most schools those answers live in three places: a fleet sheet, a maintenance file and the chief engineer’s memory.

AVops puts those answers on one screen, from one record. When an engineer grounds an aircraft or a medical expires, every booking and dashboard that depends on it sees the change straight away.

• Fleet registry. Every tail number with its status (active, in maintenance, grounded or AOG), airframe hours and cycles, base and documents.
• Warnings at booking and dispatch. Anyone booking or dispatching an aircraft with an open snag, an overdue check or an expired document is warned first.
• Maintenance due. Checks forecast by hours and by calendar, snag reporting, work orders and engineer sign-off. More on maintenance tracking.
• Instructor and student credentials. Licence, rating and medical expiries, with escalating reminders rather than one silent deadline.
• Training records. Digital flight-log entry with automatic hour totals, pilot logbooks, and student progress by cohort and training phase.
• Sortie scheduling. Aircraft and equipment booking, Hobbs check-out and check-in, and VFR/IFR route legs.
• Receipts in rupees. Flight receipts worked out from each aircraft’s wet or dry price per Hobbs hour.
• A full change history. Every status change, sign-off and log entry records who made it and when, and can be exported.
• Dashboards for each role. The fleet manager, CFI, instructor and accountable manager each see the view they need. Built to work on a phone in the hangar or on the ramp.

1. 1

   Add your aircraft and your people

   Tail numbers, hours and documents for every aircraft. Licences, medicals and ratings for every instructor, student and engineer.

2. 2

   Set up your maintenance schedule

   Your engineers set the checks and intervals for your training aircraft. The schedule stays theirs; AVops forecasts against it.

3. 3

   Run the day from one screen

   Upcoming checks, open snags and expiring credentials in one place, with reminders well before anything lapses.

4. 4

   Pull any record when it’s asked for

   An aircraft’s maintenance history or a student’s hours, ready as an export instead of a week of searching files.

The guide to moving a flight school off spreadsheets goes through this in more detail, including what to gather before you start.

Most flight-school and MRO software is priced and designed for large operators in Europe and the US. India has 41 DGCA-approved flight training organisations, most of them running a small fleet of trainers. AVops starts from that school: its handful of aircraft, its instructors and its own maintenance schedule.

• Priced in INR for a 1–10 aircraft operator, not an airline budget
• Indian registrations, Hobbs-based rupee billing and the credentials your instructors actually hold
• Your data stored in India

AVops is the operational record for a school: what can fly, who can fly it, and what is due. It is not a full MRO suite or an airline system. It helps your team see what is due and keeps the record; it does not replace your engineers’ judgement, approved maintenance programme or regulatory obligations.

AVops is pre-launch. The MVP is built and being shown to flight schools now, and some features are still being shaped with those schools. We’ll tell you exactly what’s ready in the demo.
