Texas FAQ

What does Aloft360 cost for a flight school in Texas?
Aloft360 Pro is $39/month for up to 6 aircraft with unlimited members. Max ($99/mo) covers up to 50 aircraft. Starter ($9/mo) is for solo aircraft owners. The Billing add-on is +$29/mo and the Professional / Charter add-on is +$49/mo. There are no per-instructor or per-student fees and a 30-day free trial requires no credit card.
Can I migrate my school in Texas from Flight Schedule Pro or Flight Circle?
The member import assistant supports CSV column mapping, validation, and invitation review. Aircraft use guided setup; historical reservations, inspection records, flight logs, and balances need separate entry or reconciliation. See Switching to Aloft360 in Resources for the supported scope and sample preview.
Does Aloft360 work for Part 141 schools in Texas?
Yes. Training records, endorsements, and stage checks are logged with full date/time/CFI metadata, which is the audit trail Part 141 inspectors look for. Aloft360 is in active use at Part 141 operators today.
What features matter most for Texas operators specifically?
Standard Texas operators benefit from Aloft360's built-in FRAT, anonymous SMS/ASAP safety reporting, and integrated maintenance tracking — all included in the base Pro plan rather than priced as separate modules.
