All-in-One Platform

Flight School Management Software Built for Modern Operations

Scheduling, aircraft management, training curriculum, and billing in one connected system. Built by ForeFlight engineers.

Why Flight Schools Choose Cleared Final

Running a flight school means juggling schedules, aircraft maintenance, student progress, and billing—often with spreadsheets, paper logbooks, and disconnected tools. Flight school management software like Cleared Final brings everything into one platform so you can focus on training pilots instead of managing chaos.

From Reservation to Invoice, One Connected Workflow

  1. 1

    Reservation

    A student or instructor books an aircraft and time slot. Cleared Final checks aircraft availability, instructor availability, and qualification requirements automatically, so a conflicting or ineligible booking can't be created in the first place.

  2. 2

    Dispatch and Check-Out

    Before departure, dispatch confirms the aircraft's airworthiness status and any open squawks. A grounded or restricted aircraft can't be checked out for a flight that requires full capability.

  3. 3

    Flight Completion

    After the flight, the instructor or student records what was actually flown — maneuvers practiced, conditions encountered, and any new squawks — directly against the reservation.

  4. 4

    Hobbs and Tach Capture

    Actual Hobbs and tach times are recorded at checkout and check-in. These times drive both the aircraft's maintenance-due calculations and the invoice for the flight — entered once, used everywhere.

  5. 5

    Training Record Update

    Completed maneuvers and hours post directly to the student's training record against their curriculum stage, so progress toward their certificate or rating stays current without separate paper logbook entry.

  6. 6

    Invoice and Payment

    Flight time and any additional charges generate an invoice automatically. Students pay through Stripe-backed online payment or account credit — no manual invoice assembly from a logbook and a spreadsheet.

  7. 7

    Maintenance and Compliance Update

    The aircraft's Hobbs/tach-based maintenance items (oil changes, 100-hour inspections) and any new squawks update automatically from the flight just completed, keeping the fleet's maintenance status accurate in real time.

Built for Part 61 and Part 141

Part 61

Part 61 schools train under a flexible, instructor-directed structure. Cleared Final supports this with open scheduling and a training-record system that tracks maneuvers and hours against FAA ACS standards without forcing a rigid stage structure.

Part 141

Part 141 schools operate under an FAA-approved training course outline with defined stages and required maneuvers. Cleared Final's curriculum builder organizes training into stages that mirror your approved course outline, so student progress and stage completion are easy to verify.

Also Independently Flight Instructing?

Cleared Final Solo is built for one-instructor operations, with a school-referral reward if you know a flight school evaluating new software.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Cleared Final work for both Part 61 and Part 141 schools?

Yes. Part 61 schools get flexible scheduling and training-record tracking without a required syllabus structure. Part 141 schools get a stage-based curriculum builder aligned to FAA ACS standards, with training records that reflect your approved training course outline.

What does it cost?

Cleared Final is a flat monthly subscription — Starter, Professional, or Enterprise, depending on your school's size — with no per-flight or per-transaction fee. See the Pricing page for current plan details and a 14-day free trial.

Can I migrate from Flight Schedule Pro or a spreadsheet-based system?

Yes. Most schools migrate from Flight Schedule Pro, Flight Circle, or a mix of spreadsheets and paper logbooks. We help import your active aircraft, active students, and upcoming reservations, and our team walks through the process with you before you commit.

Will switching disrupt students who are mid-training?

The goal of migration is zero disruption to a student's in-progress training. Active students, their completed hours, and their training-record history come across as part of migration, so nobody restarts their logbook.

Who owns our data, and can we export it?

Your school's data is yours. You can export your students, aircraft, training records, and financial history at any time — there's no lock-in that requires staying on Cleared Final to access your own operational history.

Does Cleared Final support multiple locations?

Yes. Multi-location schools can manage aircraft, instructors, and students across locations from one account, with scheduling and reporting that can be viewed per-location or across the whole operation.

What permissions and audit controls are available?

Role-based permissions control who can view or edit scheduling, financial, training-record, and compliance data. Permission-sensitive actions are logged with the acting user and timestamp for audit purposes.
