Flight School Resource and Training Timeline Forecasting Tool, Aeroplanned, Releases 2nd ‘Excellence in Pilot-Training Planning’ Video

Aeroplanned, the pioneering resource planning platform for flight training, has launched a new video series to showcase its offering to the different pilot training industry stakeholders.

“Aeroplanned is relatively new and unique in the industry, which can make it challenging to explain its full scope. Our key focus is to seamlessly connect the pilot training pipeline, ensuring smooth student progress and optimal outcomes for all involved. But what does that actually look like?

We thought it would be good to showcase some of our favourite features and how they tackle significant issues within the flight training industry.

Check out the first video in the series – Identifying delayed students (with an intro to our new ‘Cohorts’ feature!)

We believe every student needs a tailored plan moving forward. No matter the type of training, if you want the best outcomes for your flight school – optimised resources, happy students, correctly-booked flight tests, accurate hiring and upgrade plans, predictable revenue (the list goes on!) – every student needs a plan.

For some students, on-time completion is crucial. In this video, we’ll show how easy it is to use our software to resolve delays and ensure students finish on-time.

Why is this important?

  • For airline cadets with booked slots in full flight simulators
  • For students moving between bases for streamlined transitions
  • For students with hard end dates due to financial, travel, immigration, or job commitments
  • Or simply to deliver training to the agreed contract and keep the flight school running like clockwork

Aeroplanned makes it simple to resolve delays and ensure on-time completion, creating a win-win situation for everyone involved.”
