Our story

Why we built Aerial

Most flight schools still stitch the day together with calendars, spreadsheets, paper logbooks, and group texts. Instructors lose time to admin. Owners lose visibility into who’s ready, which aircraft can fly, and what still needs to be billed.

We built Aerial so dispatch, instruction, records, and school operations live in one product designed for aviation, not a generic CRM with a calendar bolted on.

Mission

Help flight schools run day-to-day training operations with less friction and clearer accountability: from booking the aircraft to signing the logbook.

Who’s behind Aerial

Aerial builds software for flight training organizations. We're a small team focused on the operational reality of Part 61 and Part 141 schools: timezone-aware scheduling, FAA-aligned records, and role-based workflows for owners, CFIs, and students.

Values

  • Aviation-first

    Zulu time, Hobbs tracking, FAA-aligned logbook records, and role-based workflows built for CFIs and students.

  • Operations over overhead

    We focus on the daily work: booking aircraft, tracking progress, and keeping records accurate without extra admin.

  • Trust and clarity

    Organizations own their data. Permissions, audit trails, and signed records help schools stay accountable.

Aerial is a fit if you…

  • Run a flight school (or multi-location training org) and need one system for schedule, fleet, and records
  • Want instructor-verified digital logbook entries tied to real flights
  • Need training program visibility for staff without spreadsheet trackers
  • Care about role-based access, org isolation, and an audit-minded trail of changes

Aerial is not…

  • A pilot social network or marketplace for finding random aircraft to rent
  • A promise of turnkey regulatory certification or Part 141 approval for your school

Who we serve

  • Part 61 and Part 141 flight schools
  • Independent certificated flight instructors
  • Students who need visibility into schedules and logbook progress
  • Pilots who want a personal electronic logbook
