Flight operations software

Run the whole operation from one schedule.

Nexus Flight Ops is scheduling, dispatch, billing, training records, and safety management for flight schools, flying clubs, and aircraft partnerships. Built by people who run a flight school.

  • No per-user fees
  • Free for two-owner partnerships
  • Set up in an afternoon
A day on Nexus FO

Every step writes the record the next one needs.

The schedule feeds dispatch, dispatch feeds check-in, and check-in feeds the books, payroll, and the owner statement. Nothing gets typed twice.

7:00 am

The day starts on one timeline.

Every aircraft, instructor, simulator, and room on one schedule, with the weather beside it. Backups are already waiting on the full slots, and each instructor’s eight-hour duty limit is counted on the board.

  • Aircraft, instructors, sims, and rooms together
  • Weather on the schedule
  • Backup bookings that promote themselves
A training day: five aircraft, seven instructors, lessons and maintenance side by side.
8:15 am

The airplane goes out only if the record says it can.

Medical, flight review, checkout, insurance, balance, and squawks checked at dispatch. Set each rule to warn or block. When someone overrides one, there is a name and a reason on record.

  • Checked at booking and again at dispatch
  • Warn or block, per aircraft or fleet-wide
  • Every override on record
A dispatch check that did not pass: what failed, and a reason on record if anyone overrides it.
10:40 am

The flight ends and the billing is done.

Meter readings in, charges computed from your rate sheet, squawks written up, invoice issued, payment taken. The student, the instructor, and the airplane all get their record from the same check-in.

  • Aircraft, instructor, and fuel surcharge in one pass
  • Block time and membership discounts applied
  • Card on file, cash, check, or pay later online
Check-in in one pass: meter readings, charges, squawks, an issued invoice, and payment.
End of month

Payroll and owner statements come out of the same flights.

Instructor pay, leaseback owner statements, receivables, and the month’s reports all draw on the check-ins already recorded. Nobody re-keys a dispatch sheet.

  • Instructor pay per period, per flight
  • Owner statements mailed on a schedule
  • Receivables aging and statement runs
A pay period, per instructor and per flight, ready for your payroll processor.
What’s different

Built around how an operation actually fails, so it doesn’t.

Cancellations fill themselves

A backup waiting on a full slot takes it the moment it opens, and the pilot gets the email. The airplane flies instead of sitting.

Your rules, enforced twice

Booking rules are checked when the reservation is made and again at dispatch, with every override on record.

Check-in closes the books

Invoice issued and paid at the counter. No end-of-day pile of dispatch sheets to key in.

Training records for 61 and 141

Syllabus, graded lessons, signatures, and stage checks, one page per student.

A safety program, included

A Safety Management System built around 14 CFR Part 5, not a separate product.

Priced per aircraft, not per person

Unlimited students and staff on Flight School. Free for a two-owner partnership.

Records that hold up

Training and safety, kept the way the regulations expect.

Training records

Training records built for Part 61 and Part 141.

Build the syllabus once, in stages, lessons, and tasks, and enroll students against it. Every lesson is graded and signed by instructor and student, every stage check is on record, and a student’s standing is visible at a glance.

For flight schools
Safety management

A safety culture, with a system behind it.

A Safety Management System built around 14 CFR Part 5, included with the product: confidential reporting, a hazard register with residual risk, corrective actions verified effective, safety performance indicators, training records, and management reviews with the numbers attached.

The paperwork nobody wanted to type.

It drafts; you approve. Nothing posts to a ledger without a human look.

Receipt photo to ledger entry

Snap the crumpled receipt; airport, gallons, and tax are filled in for your review.

POH tables imported

Hand it the manual and the takeoff, landing, and cruise tables land on the aircraft.

Priced per aircraft, not per person.

No per-user fees on Flight School, no surprise charges, and a real free tier for a two-owner partnership.
