Training fleet oversight

Flight schools need more than aircraft maintenance tracking

Training aircraft operate in a high-use environment where aircraft bookings, student pilot access, pre-flight planning, flight logging, defects and maintenance status all affect whether an aircraft should be dispatched. Trails AMS is designed to connect those workflows instead of separating them across multiple systems.

Student pilot accounts

Create student pilot accounts that support training activity today and can continue with pilots as they graduate and progress through their aviation careers.

Pilot aircraft access control

Control which pilots can access which aircraft, helping flight schools manage authorisations, training stage suitability and aircraft visibility.

Aircraft booking calendar

Manage aircraft bookings and availability with maintenance status, planned downtime and open defects visible to the operation.

Maintenance-aware operations

Connect flight activity, defects, aircraft status and maintenance requirements so aircraft dispatch decisions are better informed.

Pilot lifecycle

Student pilot accounts that can grow beyond graduation

Trails AMS is user-centric. A pilot account belongs to the person, not just the school. That means a student pilot account can support training activity today and remain useful as that pilot graduates, moves between operators, builds experience and continues their aviation career.

Start as a student pilot

Student pilots can use role-appropriate tools for flight planning, flight logging, defect reporting and pilot logbook records while connected to the flight school aircraft they are authorised to use.

Move with the pilot

Because the account is attached to the person, not only the organisation, the pilot can continue building their profile as they progress beyond the training environment.

Flight operations tools

Plan, fly, log and maintain training aircraft from connected workflows

Flight school software should support both aircraft and pilots. Trails AMS connects the pre-flight, flight logging and maintenance follow-up workflow so aircraft records stay current.

Booking calendar + maintenance status

Aircraft booking decisions should include maintenance visibility

In a flight school, aircraft availability changes quickly. A booking calendar becomes more useful when aircraft status, upcoming maintenance, open defects and planned downtime are part of the same operational picture.

Book training aircraft

Plan aircraft bookings and scheduled flying while keeping aircraft maintenance status visible.

See defects before dispatch

Keep open defects linked to the aircraft so operational teams can see issues that may affect availability.

Activate maintenance work

Configured maintenance requirements can trigger work orders automatically when action is due.

Maintenance tracking

Keep training aircraft maintenance connected to flight activity

Flight schools need aircraft maintenance tracking that stays aligned with frequent flight activity, pilot defects, component status, provider work and conformance evidence.

Frequently asked questions

Can student pilots have their own accounts?

Yes. Trails AMS is designed around user accounts that belong to people, so student pilot accounts can support training and continue with pilots after graduation.

Can a flight school control aircraft access?

Yes. Flight schools can control which pilots are associated with aircraft and which aircraft workflows they can access.

Does Trails AMS support pre-flight planning?

Yes. Trails AMS supports pre-flight flight planning workflows as part of the connected pilot and aircraft operations toolset.

Does it support flight logging?

Yes. Pilot flight logging can capture aircraft use and keep utilisation, pilot records and maintenance triggers current.

Does Trails AMS include pilot logbook records?

Yes. Trails AMS supports pilot logbook workflows so students and qualified pilots can maintain flight activity records.

Does it include an aircraft booking calendar?

Yes. The aircraft booking calendar helps flight schools plan aircraft use with maintenance status, defects and downtime visible.

Can pilots raise defects?

Yes. Pilots can raise defects from operational workflows so issues are captured at the source and connected to aircraft maintenance records.

Does it still handle maintenance tracking?
