CNN Money recently reported the United States will need approximately 117,000 new pilots in the coming two decades. However, AOPA and General Aviation News reports 80 percent of student pilots never finish their training or earn their pilot rating. Flight Schedule Pro, a leading online scheduling and business management system for flight schools, announces they have invested $1 million to solve this flight school issue. The flight school software has created a program to address the crucial issues that have a negative impact on the industry.
“Flight schools struggle with high turnover. Scheduling staff and instructors, managing cash flow and resources and providing a student experience that is both stable and consistent tends to be difficult. With the help of this new software, flight school retention will improve,” Paula Williams, spokesperson for Flight Schedule Pro, explains.
Numerous reasons are provided by students dropping out of flight school. These include a deficiency of training that is structured, unclear goals, flying is no longer fun and medical issues. Often, the problems are combined. For example, poor flight instruction is one reason mentioned by some when leaving flight school, and this may be due to the unstructured training. Scheduling issues can lead to the process seeming to be more work than anticipated, and this can also lead to a student opting to leave the program also.
The new flight training software addresses many of these issues. Communication improves when the program is used, and students are better able to see where they are and how far they have come in terms of their flying. As a result, students are more inclined to stick with the program and earn their pilot rating. This is of great importance due to the lack of pilots today and the need for more individuals in this field in the future,” Williams continues.
The new software offers color-coded schedule layouts, additional information and drop-and-drag features. Furthermore, it seamlessly integrates with flight recording and training management, and students find it is compatible with their mobile devices, of great importance in today’s connected world. The new software was created with input from customers to ensure the new platform address the needs of both flight schools and their students.
“Students and instructors alike love the new program. While it can’t help a student fund their flight school training, it addresses other major issues that reduce student retention. Anyone in the aviation industry looking to improve their flight school program should definitely check it out. Those who do so find a great deal to love in this software,” Williams states.
