How it works
One school. One schedule. Everyone in their own lane.
SkyView Pro puts your aircraft, people, flights, maintenance and money in one place. Each person signs in and sees exactly what their role needs, on the web, iPhone, iPad and Android.
The structure
Your school, in three parts
Your admins set the school up once. Everyone else works in the part that’s theirs.

A squawk, start to finish
From “something’s wrong” to back in service
Every aircraft carries one status, and the schedule obeys it.
- AirworthyNothing due, nothing open that grounds it
- Due soonAn inspection or AD is coming due
- GroundedBlocked from booking until it’s fixed
- Grounded
- Any pilot reports a squawk, with photos
- A grounding squawk grounds the aircraft and blocks new bookings
- Your mechanics are alerted
- Grounded
- The mechanic logs hours and parts
- Before and after photos
- Completing the work order resolves its squawks
- The work is recorded against the aircraft
- Airworthy
- With nothing else grounding it, the aircraft can be booked again
- Inspections and ADs keep counting down

Money
Paid straight to your bank
Your own Stripe account, your own payouts. SkyView Pro never holds your money.
Member paysYour Stripe accountYour bank
Prepaid balances
Members keep a balance, and approved invoices are paid from it.
Online card top-ups
Members add funds by card on the web, straight into your Stripe account.
Sales tax
A rate per charge type (aircraft, instruction, fees and more), shown as its own line on the invoice.
QuickBooks sync
Customers, invoices with their tax lines, and payments sync to QuickBooks Online.
Example setup
A small school with a twin
How one real-world shape fits together.
- The owners run the school and instruct.
- Their students book and pay through the school.
- A single and a twin each with its own rates and its own checkout.
- An independent CFI rents the planes as a renter. The school bills them for the aircraft only; they look after their own students, and list them as on board so the school knows who’s flying.
