Comparison

Aloft360 vs Flight Schedule Pro

Flight Schedule Pro is the long-time industry default. Aloft360 is the modern alternative — same scheduling depth, with safety, training, and maintenance built in instead of bolted on.

If you run a Part 61 or 141 flight school, a flying club, or a leaseback fleet on Flight Schedule Pro, this page is for you. We compare what each platform actually does today, what it costs, and what you should expect when switching.

Why operators switch from Flight Schedule Pro to Aloft360

Modern UI built for 2026

FSP has been around since 2002 and the interface shows it. Aloft360 is built on a modern web stack — fast page loads, mobile-first, dark mode, and an interface designed around how operators actually work today.

FRAT, safety, training in the base plan

Flight Risk Assessment, anonymous SMS/ASAP safety reports, student training records, TSA/AFSP compliance, and Part 61 checkride tracking — all included in Aloft360 Pro at $39/mo. FSP charges separately for many of these capabilities.

Pricing without surprise add-ons

Most flight schools running on Aloft360 pay $39/mo flat — unlimited members, all core features. FSP starts around $129/mo and grows with module add-ons. Compare your current invoice line-by-line.
