How does HangarOS help chief flight instructors?

HangarOS centralizes dispatch, training records, endorsement management, and student progress in one platform. The dispatch board provides real-time operations visibility, the training module tracks every endorsement and stage check, and AI tools generate lesson reports and progress analysis automatically.

Can instructors access HangarOS on their phone?

Yes. HangarOS is responsive web-based — it works on any device with a browser. Instructors can check their schedule, complete post-flight checkout, and review student progress from their phone.

How does the booking safety engine work?

The booking safety engine checks endorsement requirements before allowing a booking. If a student hasn't received the required endorsements for a flight type (solo, cross-country, etc.), the system prevents the booking and shows which endorsements are needed. This prevents compliance gaps at the scheduling level.

What AI tools are useful for chief instructors?

The AI lesson report generator auto-creates structured reports from flight data. Student progress analysis identifies at-risk students and readiness patterns. Training quality insights compare instructor effectiveness. The weather risk advisor helps with daily dispatch decisions. AI Tools is $15/mo.

Daily Dispatch Made Simple

The dispatch board is your command center. See every flight, every instructor, every aircraft — updated in real time. Pre-flight check-in pulls live METAR data. Post-flight checkout captures Hobbs and tach. The booking safety engine enforces endorsement requirements so students can't book flights they're not ready for.

Student Progress at a Glance

Stop asking instructors "how's Jake doing?" in the hallway. HangarOS shows every student's progress — aeronautical experience, maneuver proficiency, endorsements completed, and checkride readiness — on a single dashboard. Identify students who are stalling, celebrate those who are progressing, and catch issues before they become problems.

Endorsement & Stage Check Management

Managing endorsements across dozens of students and multiple instructors is a headache on paper. HangarOS digitizes it — ~30 FAA endorsement templates, digital signature capture, and a complete audit trail. Stage checks are tracked with pass/fail scoring, instructor notes, and automatic progress updates.
