FlightWay

Flying club software that replaces QuickBooks instead of syncing to it.

Scheduling, flight logging, maintenance, and member billing that post straight to a real double-entry ledger, so a volunteer treasurer runs one system instead of three.

The challenge

Club scheduling platforms book the airplane and treat the books as somebody else’s problem. The volunteer treasurer ends up reconciling a scheduler, a spreadsheet, and QuickBooks every month.

Every handoff between those systems is a place for a flight to go unbilled or a balance to drift, and clubs depend on volunteers who do not have hours to spare.

What we built

We made the ledger the system of record. Every flight that is booked, flown, and logged becomes a priced charge posted as a balanced journal entry. Statements are drafted for the treasurer to approve, and members pay by ACH or card through the club’s own Stripe account.

Scheduling, maintenance, and squawks feed the same data: a critical squawk grounds the aircraft and pulls it off the schedule automatically. It runs a real club today, with a full year of QuickBooks history migrated and reconciled to the penny.

Key features

Conflict-proof scheduling

The database itself refuses overlapping bookings, and grounded or maintenance-blocked aircraft simply cannot be booked.

Flight logging that bills itself

Members enter Hobbs and tach; FlightWay prices the flight at that aircraft’s rate and posts it to the ledger.

Maintenance and airworthiness

Inspections, components, AD compliance, and squawks, with critical squawks grounding the aircraft automatically.

Treasurer-approved billing

Charges accrue as they happen, monthly statements are drafted for approval, and nothing is sent automatically.

Real club accounting

Chart of accounts, balance sheet, P&L, A/R aging, and a full journal export, without a separate accounting package.

Passwordless and installable

Passkeys or magic links, role-based access, push notifications, and a progressive web app that works offline.
