For aircraft rental
Renting out your aircraft.
Organised and discreet
Who may fly your aircraft, is the customer still current, who pays for which flight? apron:pilot keeps booking requests, check flights, the logbook and invoices for your rental operation in one place, and keeps your customers’ data apart.
Start free and upgrade to Premium when you need to.
Aircraft rental in practice
What a rental operation has to keep under control
Requests, not free-for-all
Rental customers send booking requests, you review and approve them. Rules for lead time, count and duration included (Premium).
Only current pilots
Type briefing, medical, internal check flight: if a rating is missing or expired, no booking is possible.
Discreet for your customers

The right aircraft for each customer
Aircraft a pilot is not assigned to stay hidden from them (Premium).
Invoices from the logbook
With invoicing: PDF invoices per pilot straight from the logbook, with pilot-specific per-minute rates.
Aircraft in good shape
Maintenance periods in the calendar, and with Premium defects with photos and a maintenance forecast from planned flight times.
Booking requests and check flights
With Premium, rental customers don’t just book away: they send requests, which you review with remarks, flight type and estimated flight time before approving them. apron:pilot checks the ratings along the way. The internal check flight is renewed with every flight, and anyone who has not flown for too long needs a new one.

- Rating check with every booking
- Internal check flight renewed with every flight (Premium)
- Restrictions for lead time, count and duration (Premium)
Customer data protected
If you rent out to pilots outside your group, customers should not see who else flies. AnonyMode hides personal data in the dashboard, calendar and logbook. Administrators and power users keep the full picture.

How much does apron:pilot cost for an aircraft rental operation?
To get started, there is the free-forever Free version. Depending on the number of your aircraft and rental customers, you choose one of three Premium plans, and invoicing is available as an add-on. You will find all prices and differences on the pricing page.
How do our rental customers get into the system?
You create them as users or invite them, and they count towards your plan’s users. With Premium, you import many at once from a spreadsheet.
Can we check type briefings and currency?
Yes. You create ratings such as a type briefing, medical or internal check flight yourself and assign them to pilots and aircraft. If one is missing or expired, no booking is possible. With Premium, the internal check flight is renewed automatically with every flight.
Do our customers see other customers’ data?
Not with AnonyMode (Premium): regular users see limited or no personal data in the dashboard, calendar and logbook, and the member list can be turned off. Administrators and power users keep full access.
Can we bill prepayments and deposits?
Yes, with invoicing: prepayments as credits, also with a reduced rate for prepaid flight hours, and a deposit as a custom invoice item.
Does apron:pilot create invoices with VAT?
Yes, on the Business plan of invoicing: tax invoices with net and gross amounts, your own number format and payment reminders. From Advanced, you store a separate billing address per user, for example for company customers.
