Flight School Management Software, Flight Schedule Pro, Completes Year 2 SOC2 Type II Audit
Flight Schedule Pro, a leading provider of cloud-based business management software for flight schools, universities, flying clubs, and other aviation operations is pleased to announce that – for a second year – it has successfully completed its System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type II certification. The SOC 2 was developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) to allow a third-party auditor to validate a service company’s internal controls with respect to information security.
Successful completion of the SOC 2 Type II audit further reinforces Flight Schedule Pro’s ongoing commitment to take security and compliance seriously.
The SOC 2 audit is one of the highest recognized standards of information security compliance in the world. At Flight Schedule Pro, the audit was completed in partnership with Johanson Group, who respectively reviewed internal controls including policies, procedures, and infrastructure regarding data security, firewall configurations, change management, logical access, backup management, business continuity and disaster recovery, security incident response, and other critical areas of the Flight Schedule Pro business.
Thanks to a company-wide effort at Flight Schedule Pro, and with the help of Johanson Group and its Drata Compliance Automation system, Flight Schedule Pro has successfully achieved ongoing SOC 2 compliance. By leveraging its Drata Compliance Automation System, the Flight Schedule Pro team has gone above and beyond the minimum requirements for SOC 2 – by integrating with critical infrastructure to monitor compliance to the SOC 2 framework 24/7/365.

French Aviation Training Group Mermoz Academy Invests EUR 2.3 million in New Training Center
Mermoz Academy, France’s based airline pilot and cabin crew training school, has just opened a brand-new training center close to its main office, investing a significant 2.3 million euros in a facility spanning 1,300 square meters. This move aims to enhance the training experience for future pilots and cabin crew members.
The centerpiece of the new establishment is a meticulously designed aircraft fuselage with forty seats allowing trainees to practice various real-life scenarios including engine failure, depressurization, smoke incidents, cabin crew announcements, and communications from the cockpit. Additionally, an evacuation slide, tailored to medium-haul aircraft, has been seamlessly integrated into the training system.
A noteworthy feature of the training center is an entirely metal cabin that allows trainees to acquire essential skills in controlling fires within a confined and smoky environment. The cabin is surrounded by glass walls, allowing other students to observe and learn from their peers as they perform these crucial actions, all under the guidance of experienced instructors.
The mock cockpit is designed to teach cabin crew how to handle situations where a pilot falls ill mid-flight. The setup replicates both Boeing and Airbus configurations, providing practical experience for different aircraft types.
Alongside these, there are classrooms, a wide slide similar to those on long-haul planes, and a simulator for pilots to practice and qualify. The installation of an FNPTII MCC-type simulator is a significant milestone, enabling pilots to undergo MCC qualification training. A second simulator is scheduled to be operational by the summer of 2024, further expanding Mermoz Academy’s training capacity.
Serge Gourlaouen, the Director of Mermoz Academy Rungis, emphasized the strategic importance of this development, stating, “This new equipment will allow Mermoz Academy to expand the training offering provided to airlines. Airlines need staff, pilots and cabin crew. The opening of this center comes at the right time to meet the demands of our customers. ”
