Flight Training Management Software for DGCA-Approved Flying Training Organisations in India
Pen and paper. Spreadsheets. Bottlenecks. Many Flying Training Organisations in India still manage scheduling, training records, aircraft, and instructor documentation across disconnected tools, while demand for trained pilots keeps growing and DGCA oversight stays strict.
FlightLogger is The Flight School Operating System, used by more than 220 flight training organizations in 50+ countries. It gives DGCA-approved FTOs one platform for scheduling, digital training records, student progression, instructor management, maintenance, and compliance.
Chimes Aviation Academy, which trains cadets at Dhana and Neemuch, moved from paper to FlightLogger in 2018 and became India's first fully digital flight academy. Eight years later, FlightLogger still runs its scheduling, training records, and compliance across both bases.
One platform. Full control. DGCA audit-ready.
Replace Paper and Spreadsheets with One Connected System
When records live in folders and spreadsheets, every DGCA inspection turns into a hunt for documents, and every schedule change means phone calls.
FlightLogger brings your FTO's daily work into one place:
- Flight and ground training records
- Student progression against your approved syllabus
- Flight hours and training milestones
- Instructor qualifications and expiry dates
- Aircraft status and maintenance
- Scheduling for aircraft, simulators, instructors, and students
Every lesson is recorded once and updates the whole operation.
Stay DGCA Audit-Ready Every Day
DGCA inspectors expect complete, consistent records for every student, instructor, and aircraft. With FlightLogger, documentation is created as part of normal training, not assembled the week before an audit.
FlightLogger helps you keep:
- Complete digital training records for every student
- Lesson documentation aligned with your training manual
- Instructor ratings, medicals, and authorizations tracked
- A clear record history for inspections
- Aircraft maintenance status visible to operations
- Reports ready when inspectors ask for them
So audits become a review of records you already have, not a project.
