Statistics for your operations

Administrators can analyze aircraft statistics such as flight times, booking times and the booking vs. flighttime ratio.

Personal pilot statistics on previous flights, reservation time, etc. let’s your pilot analyze in a graphical and tabular matter.

These functions can help with various planning questions and decisions throughout the year of operation.

Only One Login, but manage all

apron:pilot allows pilots to be part of several flight clubs, flight schools etc., who are using apron:pilot, but only use one login (e-mail and password).

As a logged-in user you can easily switch the account via the sidebar. Pilots only have one login if they are assigned to multiple accounts, e.g. Flight School A and Flight Club B – they can simply switch the account in the application, no need for multiple usernames and passwords

Advantages: One username and password for login, all accounts accessible without logging out and in again with different credentials, less credentials to remember

Defect Management

The defect management function makes it possible to log defects or damaged in a short and digital way.

Automatic notifications, comment functions, and a short integrated workflow make managing easy. Members no longer need to exchange emails or messages, but do it all short and easy digitally.

For administrators & power users there is a defect overview, which can also be exported as a PDF or Excel file for further processing outside the system.

Maintenance FORECAST

The maintenance forecast feature assists your planning activities for the maintenance of the aircraft. By using the estimated flight time, that your pilots enter for reservations, the system calculates the date, when the maintenance interval will be reached.

This information is supported by graphical representation in yellow or red color, to immediately get your attention when it is needed.

By also indicating the forecast reliability you can make sure that your maintenance planning is inline with the real world situation.

User importer allows mass import and user generation with xls or xlsx files (less manual action in the application)

NOTAM publishing for distributing internal information directly in the application or via e-mail

Experience seamless member communication through our integrated messenger.

This feature reduces the need for external emails and SMS, keeping all essential conversations within the platform for optimal organization and efficiency.
