FlightLogger Hits US Runway

FlightLogger’s flight school management software has been selected to be used at the new Skyborne Airline Academy Vero Beach, making them the first US-based academy to implement FlightLogger.

The new Skyborne Airline Academy Vero Beach offers a comprehensive FAA Part 141 approved 12-month residential program, various airline pathway programs with some of the leading US airlines, as well as numerous private, commercial and instructor programs.

Skyborne has been using FlightLogger at their facilities in Gloucestershire, England since 2018. For Skyborne’s Chief Operating Officer Ian Cooper, it was vital to also convey the digital platform at the new facilities in Vero Beach. Cooper explains: “FlightLogger is quite essential for us in being efficient in everything we do. Managing an expanding organization with lots of aircraft, training programs, students and staff mean we have strict requirements for our management platform. FlightLogger had already proven to be the best solution to standardize our operations, and the support and training we received during implementation of the Vero Beach academy has been great.".

For Skyborne, expanding into the US pilot training market required some adaption to the regulations of the FAA. “Achieving the Part 141 approval was essential for us. Luckily, it turned out to be a quite stress-free process. Even though our new Vero Beach academy is the first US-based academy using the FlightLogger platform, our training setup met all FAA’s requirements. The fact that we can now run our operations in both Gloucestershire and Vero Beach from the same familiar platform means that we can apply identical procedures and standards in both places," said Cooper.

Online training needs well-conceived implementation strategies and tactics. Read more on this topic in  Pivoting to Virtual Classrooms.

With the launch of Skyborne Airline Academy Vero Beach, FlightLogger is now used in 41 countries in total.
