Properly managing training progress, lessons, certifications, and documentation takes a lot of time at flight schools, often spread across Excel spreadsheets, paper forms, and multiple siloed systems. This is exactly where our new Training Module for apron:pilot comes in.
With the Training Module for apron:pilot, you can manage all flight training at your flight school or club digitally
What the Training Module Can Do
The module offers functionalities for training administration directly in apron:pilot, where flight operations and aircraft management also take place:
Training Course Master Data with EASA Templates — Syllabi for PPL(A), LAPL(A) and Night Rating(A) are ready-made; build your own advanced training freely alongside them.
Freely Editable Syllabus Builder — Prerequisites, theory and practical training as a flexible tree structure, no spreadsheets needed.
Digital Student File — every student gets their own unchangeable copy of the syllabus.
Debriefing Straight from the Logbook — log the flight and debrief it in one step.
Experience Requirements & Minimum Flight Times — set the required hours once, the file shows the rest automatically.
Automatic Progress Tracking — training status is up to date the instant anything is entered.
Courses with Sessions — schedule theory courses and other sessions for whole groups, with materials and online links.
Complete History — every change traceable, forever.
Export & Automatic Archive — complete records on demand or automatically by e-mail.
Instructor Status at a Glance — every instructor’s ratings colour-coded in one table, also as a PDF.
Training Organisation Announcements — information for every instructor in one place, no e-mail list needed.
Training Overview & Statistics — every key figure for your training at a glance.
This is just a selection of the most important features! Additional ratings – such as Mountain Rating, glider towing, banner towing, and flight instructor training – along with many other features will be added in future updates!
Who This Module Is Intended For
This training module is intended for administrators and training managers at:
- EASA Designated Training Organizations (DTOs)
- Flying clubs that provide their own training
- Charter companies with affiliated flight schools
TESTERS WANTED!
Before the training module is released, we’d like to test it with real users and incorporate their feedback before launch. We’re looking for administrators who are willing to try out the module in their day-to-day work and give honest feedback on what works and what’s still missing.
What you can expect as a tester:
- Early access to the module and a direct say in its development
- A discount for your group on the training module for the first year after release
- A direct line to me as a developer & product manager
Important note: Since this is a beta version, there may still be bugs. Please continue to maintain your official training records as usual during the testing phase.
Interested in the test?
Just send us a quick email at contact@apron-pilot.com:
- Name of your organization (DTO, club, or charter company)
- Your role
- Training programs offered by your organization (e.g., PPL(A), LAPL(A), night rating)

The registration deadline is October 31, 2026. Spots are limited to a small number of participants so that I can give each one personal attention.
