The first minutes after creating an account should answer one question: “what do I do next?” Our new onboarding experience does exactly that, and a set of scheduling upgrades makes day-to-day operations smoother for established schools too.

Pick your role, get your checklist

At first login, every new member now chooses who they are: a Student or Renter, an Instructor, or a Flight School Administrator. Each role gets its own ordered checklist that leads through exactly the steps that matter, such as completing your profile, connecting with your school, or setting up your directory listing.

Guided schedule setup for school administrators

School owners get the most complete path. A guided, data-aware checklist walks you from claiming your directory listing all the way through adding aircraft, instructors, and the scheduling options you need to start taking reservations. The checklist knows what you have already finished, so you always see your real next step rather than a generic to-do list.

Scheduling quality-of-life upgrades

  • Find people fast. Reservation forms now use a searchable member picker instead of one long dropdown. Type a few letters and the right student, renter, or instructor appears, even in schools with large rosters.
  • Retire resources without losing history. Aircraft and instructors can now be marked inactive. Inactive resources stop appearing in new booking pickers, but every past reservation and billing record stays intact for reporting.

Why it matters

New members reach their first useful action sooner, schools get operational faster, and busy schedulers save clicks every single day. If you have been putting off setting up online scheduling for your school, the guided checklist is the easiest starting point we have ever offered.
