About Elixir Aircraft
Elixir Aircraft is a French aircraft manufacturer founded in 2015 to meet the challenges of global light aviation. Based in La Rochelle, it has over 200 employees and is recruiting massively. Elixir Aircraft designed and has been building a 4th-generation two-seater aircraft, certified EASA CS-23 since 2020 and very soon FAA FAR Part-23. Elixir Aircraft uses technology from the world of competitive sailing, the “Carbon Oneshot” (in one piece), to simplify structures.

Flight Schedule Pro and Garmin Team Up for Automated Aircraft Data Integration

USA – Flight Schedule Pro, one of the world’s leading flight school operations platform providers, is working with Garmin to integrate PlaneSync™ aircraft flight logging data into its system—bringing enhanced automation and actionable insights to training operators.

  • Garmin’s PlaneSync™ captures detailed aircraft metrics—engine data, GPS tracks, environmental readings—but training operators need this data tied into lesson management and compliance tools.

  • Flight Schedule Pro is exploring an integration enabling automatic syncing of flight metrics directly into its platform to streamline instructor logs, resource scheduling, and student progress tracking.

  • The collaboration aims to reduce manual data entry, auto-populate post-flight logs, improve transparency into in-air operations, and support smarter dispatch decisions.

  • Future capabilities under consideration include maintenance tracking integration, enriched training progress reporting, and operational analytics connected to logged flight data.

  • Flight Schedule Pro emphasizes that the goal is to tailor data flows to everyday flight school workflows—supporting flight line efficiency and instructional quality, not just maintenance logs.

Private-Radar Launches Crew Information System to Enhance Safety and Compliance in Flight Training

Global – Private-Radar, a leading Flight School Management Solution, is proud to announce the release of its latest module: The Crew Information System (CIS), a powerful tool designed to enhance safety by simplifying the distribution of critical information to flight crews and ensuring full operational compliance.

With the Crew Information System, Private-Radar partners can send essential information and documents—such as Standard Operating Procedures, training handbooks, aircraft manuals, safety bulletins, checklist, etc.—directly to instructors, student pilots, and other crew members. This centralized system ensures critical information is delivered efficiently and on time.

Crucially, a key feature of the Crew Information System is its ability to require mandatory reading or signatures from recipients. The built-in compliance tracking system ensures that no information goes unacknowledged, and flight dispatch can be automatically prevented until crew members fulfil the required actions. This functionality ensures nothing is overlooked, strengthening both safety and accountability.

Prisque Lemblé, Founder and CEO at Private-Radar: “The Crew Information System was built in response to growing demands from our partners for a reliable and trackable way to manage operational communication, it’s a major step toward reducing risk and improving training efficiency.” 

Use Case Example

A typical use case is a flight school updating a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). The Head of Training creates a new Crew Information outlining the changes, attaches the revised SOP, and sets constraints— mandatory reading, signature required, and prevent dispatch. They then send the Crew Information to all instructors and students. Private-Radar will prevent dispatching flights when the Pilot in Command has not read and signed this Crew Information, ensuring 100% compliance before any flight takes place.  

The Crew Information System is already available to all Private-Radar partners.
