USA – Flight school management software Flight Schedule Pro shared insights from the recently concluded FSANA 2025 – an annual conference and trade show focused on the business of flight training – held on February 5-7, 2025, in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA.

• The Pilot Shortage is Here:

  • Over 674,000 new pilots will be needed globally in the next 20 years, with 123,000 required in the U.S. alone.
  • Flight schools must address financial sustainability, international market opportunities, and shifting airline hiring standards to ensure long-term success.
  • Student training outcomes remain unpredictable, making lender support and financing a key challenge.

• Fleet Optimization is Critical:

  • With aircraft backlogs and delayed deliveries, expanding fleets isn’t always an option.
  • Flight schools must maximize aircraft utilization through smarter scheduling, maintenance coordination, and resource planning.

• Technology is Driving Change:

  • Flight schools need integrated platforms that connect scheduling, student progress tracking, financial insights, and career readiness.
  • Flight Schedule Pro’s 2025 developments enhance efficiency by integrating training content providers, allowing seamless student progress tracking and revenue generation through direct ground school course offerings.

“One of the most significant advancements is our recent integration with industry-leading training content providers, allowing flight schools to:

• Track student progress seamlessly across both flight and ground training.
• Offer ground school  courses directly to students through FSP, unlocking a new revenue stream.
• Simplify course distribution with no code management or manual licensing.

By empowering flight schools to track progress, optimize fleet use, and generate new revenue, Flight Schedule Pro is helping schools thrive amidst the industry’s growing challenges.”
