Flight School Resource and Training Timeline Forecasting Software, Aeroplanned, Launches 3‑Month Tracking and Resource Planning Dashboard

Global – Aeroplanned, the pioneering resource planning platform for flight training, has announced the rollout of its new “3‑Month Tracking and Resource Planning Dashboard” offering tailored visibility of student progress and resource utilisation for flight schools.

  • The dashboard provides a three‑month forward view of training operations, highlighting who’s in training, how they are tracking, and where intervention may be required.

  • It links student progress with resource forecasts, enabling training organisations to see when capacity is constrained or when there is spare capacity, thus helping avoid bottlenecks or under‑utilisation.

  • Features include interactive metrics alignment (allowing schools to match the dashboard with their own KPI set) and custom tagging/grouping of cohorts or resources for flexible operational planning.

  • Earlier in May 2025, the company announced a feature‑suite release enhancing data‑accuracy tools—such as built‑in guidance to detect incomplete or outdated data points—designed for flight schools without dedicated planners.

Check out the video below to see how it looks in action.
