Every lesson is graded against the flight that flew it, and a signed record cannot change.
- Frozen at signing
- A signed record cannot be quietly tidied up later
- Part 141 enforced
- Stage checks, certification, and graduation actually blocked
- Offline
- Grade at the aircraft, and it syncs when there is signal
“Less need for owner supervision, aircraft maintenance is precisely tracked, and student progression is clearly defined.”
What changes
An inspection is one report, not a week of paper
One row per graded lesson with hours, instructor and signature state, exported to a PDF carrying the school name and window.
Instructors stop doing paperwork at home
Grading is part of the close-out. Flight time is prefilled from the Hobbs difference, ground from the briefing.
Revising a syllabus cannot move a student's goalposts
Students enroll against a version, and publishing locks that version permanently.
How it works
Syllabus to certificate
Fork a syllabus
Four starters, or an empty course. Part 61 or 141, chosen once.
Publish it
It names how many lessons are about to freeze.
Enroll and fly
Any course fee is recorded as owed on the spot.
Grade and sign
Signing freezes the record and posts hours to every requirement it feeds.
Part 141
One setting, six enforced rules
Part 141 is the shape the module was built to. Part 61 is the same tables with the gates disarmed, and the choice cannot be flipped later.
- Publish before anyone can be enrolled
- Stage checks by a designated check instructor
- Graduation blocked while an FAA requirement is unmet
Hours
The question a lesson list cannot answer
Requirements are tracked in their own right, so a student can be on lesson 19 of 21 and still be short. One night cross-country credits several at once.
- Measured in hours or in events
- Simulator and transfer ceilings applied when read, not by discarding hours
- Prior training credited with the date it was actually flown
Everything else in here
- Four syllabi to start from: Private, Instrument, Commercial, and CFI
- Stages, lessons, graded tasks, and your own grading scale
- A published version is immutable, so revising it never moves a student's goalposts
- Hour requirements tracked apart from lessons. One night cross-country credits four at once
- Endorsements from AC 61-65K, with expiry on the 90-day solo
- A signed lesson is frozen; a correction supersedes it and the original stays readable
- Pace and silence per student, so somebody who has stopped flying surfaces
- Grade at the aircraft with no signal; it syncs when there is
- Charge a course fee at enrollment, billed through the invoices you already run
Put one student on a syllabus and see the record it makes
Fork a starter, enroll somebody, grade a lesson off a flight. That is the whole loop.
Common questions
- Does it really do Part 141, or is it a checkbox?
- Six rules are enforced: publish before enroll, an out-of-order warning, stage checks by a designated check instructor, certification of the record, graduation blocked on unmet requirements, and the certificate number stored. What it does not do is verify that whoever certifies is genuinely your chief instructor. It checks the permission you gave them.
- Can I use my own syllabus?
- Yes, and most schools should. The four starters exist so the first screen is not thirty lessons of typing. None of them is an approved training course outline: approval is per school and per FSDO, so treat a template as a starting point to take to your POI.
- What happens to enrolled students when I revise a syllabus?
- Nothing. They are enrolled against a version. You create a new version, edit the copy, publish it and retire the old one. The trade worth knowing up front is that publishing is permanent: there is no unpublish.
- Can instructors grade without a signal?
- Yes, on the iPhone app. Two things stated plainly rather than hidden: open each student's enrollment once while you have signal, because the screen works from a cached syllabus, and nothing syncs in the background, so a queued grade goes up when somebody next opens Training.
- Can a signed lesson be corrected?
- It can be amended, which creates a correction alongside it. The original stays signed, readable and marked superseded, and both appear in an export. Amending requires a typed reason.
