Scheduling & dispatch

Aircraft scheduling that enforces your club's rules

Members book aircraft and instructors themselves, the schedule refuses bookings that break your rules, and the same board handles check-out and check-in at the airplane.

Every view of the week

See the schedule by day, week or month, or as a timeline with one row per aircraft. Filter to the aircraft you care about, and page forward and back without losing your place.

  • Day, week, month and per-aircraft timeline views
  • Reservations show the pilot, instructor and purpose
  • Times are shown in your club's time zone

Double-bookings caught before they happen

A new booking that overlaps an existing one is refused, with a clear order of precedence so the right flight wins.

  • Maintenance blocks can be booked over anything, and nothing can be booked over them
  • A checkride can't be bumped by a personal or training flight
  • Backup holds let a second pilot stand by without competing for the aircraft

Booking rules you choose

Turn on the restrictions your club wants and ClubHangar checks them on every booking, including walk-up check-outs.

  • Block pilots who owe more than an amount you set
  • Block pilots with an expired medical certificate
  • Block pilots whose flight review (BFR) is due
  • Require an instructor checkout before a member can book a specific aircraft

Dispatch at the airplane

Check a flight out and back in with Hobbs and tach readings. Hours flown update the aircraft's times, and, if you bill through ClubHangar, post the flight to the pilot's account.

  • Out readings are pre-filled from the aircraft and can be corrected
  • Printable QR placards open the aircraft's check-out page from a phone
  • No booking? A pilot can check out a free aircraft on the spot, under the same rules

Common questions

Can members book instructors as well as aircraft?
Yes. A reservation can include an instructor, and admins and instructors can book on behalf of other pilots.
Can I stop members from booking an aircraft they haven't been checked out in?
Yes. Mark the aircraft as requiring a checkout, and only pilots an instructor or admin has signed off in that aircraft can book it.
Does ClubHangar track Hobbs or tach time?
Either or both, per aircraft. You choose which meters each aircraft tracks and which one flight time is billed from.
