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 predates most of the current field and the interface reflects that. Aloft360 is built on a modern web stack — fast pages, mobile-friendly, dark mode, and an interface built around how operators work today.

Common switching questions

Which ClubPilot is this comparison about?

Multiple products exist under the ClubPilot name across different markets. This comparison focuses on cloud-based flying-club management tools branded ClubPilot. Verify specific feature claims directly against the version your club is evaluating.

Can I migrate from ClubPilot to Aloft360?

CSV import for members, aircraft, recurring reservations, and inspection data is supported. Email help@aloft360.com to walk through the migration.

How does pricing scale with aircraft?

Aloft360 Starter ($9/mo) covers 1 aircraft. Pro ($39/mo flat) covers up to 6. Max ($99/mo) covers up to 50. Unlimited members on every plan.

Does Aloft360 work for international clubs (UK, EU, AU)?

Yes — the platform is functional internationally. FAR-specific compliance modules (FAR 91.409 inspections, FAR 61.57 currency) are most relevant in the U.S., but the scheduling, maintenance, and billing tooling works regardless of jurisdiction. EASA-specific reporting would need to be done outside the platform.
