   Maintenance decides much of a flight school’s day. When an aircraft suddenly becomes unairworthy, it affects schedules, instructors and students. When training and maintenance run in separate systems, that information often travels by phone call, and flight hours have to be kept in sync by hand.

   Michael introduces Maintenance Hub, maintenance software built for aviation academies that do their own maintenance and fully integrated with FlightLogger. Aircraft times sync automatically, planned maintenance appears directly in FlightLogger’s schedule, and both systems share one source of truth, which makes audits easier too.

   He also shares what we’ve learned from building Maintenance Hub with experienced maintenance professionals across EASA, the FAA and Canada. And he explains how combined syllabus, prerequisites, maintenance and suggested scheduling come together in the Flight School Operating System.
