Comparison

Aloft360 vs ClubPilot

ClubPilot is a long-standing scheduling and member-management tool for flying clubs. Aloft360 covers the same core need with modern UI, FRAT, training records, and a flat pricing model that does not scale per resource.

ClubPilot handles club scheduling, member management, and basic billing well. Aloft360 fits the same clubs that also want FRAT, anonymous SMS/ASAP safety reporting, Part 61 student training records, and full maintenance tooling.

Why operators switch from ClubPilot to Aloft360

FRAT, safety, training included

ClubPilot does not provide FRAT, anonymous safety reporting, or Part 61 student training records. Aloft360 Pro includes all three — relevant for any club that takes a student or runs proficiency programs.

Full maintenance tooling

ClubPilot tracks maintenance reminders. Aloft360 adds full work orders with notes and cost, parts inventory, a squawk-to-work-order workflow, and a fleet maintenance dashboard.

Modern web UI

ClubPilot has been around for years and the UI shows it. Aloft360 is built on a modern web stack — fast, mobile-installable PWA, dark mode, and an interface designed around how operators actually work today.
