AerScheduler vs Flight Schedule Pro
The modern alternative to Flight Schedule Pro
Flight Schedule Pro works, and your school has years of history inside it. That is exactly why moving feels like a project, and it is the part we take off you: we move your data with you, set the school up with you, and you keep Flight Schedule Pro running until your staff stop reaching for it. What is on the other side is one system for the schedule, the invoice and the maintenance record, and a price you can read on this page.
$20/aircraft/mo · 14-day trial · No credit card · No sales call
Switching, without the project
The reason schools stay somewhere they have outgrown is rarely the software. It is the week they imagine losing to moving. Here is what actually happens.
A person moves your data, not an importer
Export what you can out of Flight Schedule Pro and we get it into AerScheduler with you. Odd formats and missing fields become a conversation rather than a dead end, because a human is doing it.
We set the school up with you
Aircraft, rates, instructors, permissions and booking rules, configured with the team that builds the product. On a call if you want one, and never as a condition of signing up.
Keep both running until you are ready
Nothing forces a cutover date. Run Flight Schedule Pro alongside AerScheduler and stop using it when the front desk stops opening it, which is usually the moment you know.
Nothing to sign, nothing locked in
14 days free and no card to start. Every report exports to CSV, so the answer to "what if we change our mind" is a download rather than a support ticket.

Why schools move
- You want to be running this week, without a sales call
- Predictable cost: $20 per aircraft, every user included
- Your instructors will actually open the app on the ramp
- You want the schedule, the invoice and the maintenance record to be one system
What the difference looks like
The whole school sees the same schedule, immediately
A booking change reaches every browser and phone in the school as it happens, so the front desk, the instructor walking to the ramp and the student at home are never looking at three different versions of today.
Scheduling & DispatchThe flight closes itself out into an invoice
Ramp in with Hobbs, tach and fuel, and the invoice drafts from the rates already on the tail. No export, no second system, no evening spent reconciling the day's flying against the schedule.
BillingSimulators and classrooms cost nothing
They are first-class resources on the dispatch board, bookable like any tail, and they never appear on your bill. You pay $20 per aircraft and nothing else, however many people you invite.
PricingSide-by-side
Flight Schedule Pro is a long-standing product and a trademark of its owner. Rows describe what each product publishes; "not published" means we could not confirm it, not that it is absent.
When we may not be the right fit
- You already run a large deployment and moving it would cost more than it saves
- You want a guided enterprise rollout with a named account team
- You need a specific workflow or integration we do not cover yet
Common questions
- How much does AerScheduler cost compared to Flight Schedule Pro?
- AerScheduler is $20 per aircraft per month with every user included, and simulators and classrooms are free. Flight Schedule Pro is quoted per school and does not publish a price, so there is no public figure to compare against.
- Can I switch from Flight Schedule Pro without a sales call?
- Yes. Signup is self-serve, the trial is 14 days, and no credit card is required. You can add an aircraft and put a flight on the board the same afternoon.
- Does AerScheduler have a mobile app?
- Yes, a native iOS app for the whole team. Instructors, students and renters can book, and dispatchers can ramp a flight in and out from the ramp itself.
- Can several people be billed for one flight?
- Yes. Split the cost per head, by logged time, or in shares you set, and each person gets their own invoice. Useful for ground school, shared cross-countries and checkrides.
