FlyFair runs its whole flying on FlyerOS
FlyerOS is generalised from the FlyFair Portal, so FlyFair is the school the product grew up inside. Scheduling and hour-building, student records, finance and the fleet all run on one connected record, with the rules checked before a flight rather than after.

We were running the school off a wall planner, a few spreadsheets and a WhatsApp group, and it was the joins between them where things slipped. What won me over with FlyerOS is that it’s one record: when an aircraft goes tech the schedule already knows, so nobody books it by mistake. The part I didn’t expect to value as much as I do is the training records building themselves as we fly, so a CAA visit is a query now, not a fortnight of digging. It’s plainly built by people who know how a UK school actually runs, not a generic booking tool adapted after the fact.
What FlyFair runs on it
Four parts of the operation that used to be separate, now one record.
Scheduling and hour-building
The board is where flying is planned and hour-building is tracked. Every booking is checked before it confirms, so an aircraft that is out of limits or an instructor whose privilege has lapsed never makes it onto the day.
Student records
Training records and progression build as lessons are flown and signed off, so a student’s history is there when it is needed rather than reconstructed before a visit.
Finance and billing
Hire is billed from what actually flew, with member accounts, balances and a month-end that used to live across spreadsheets now in one place.
Fleet and airworthiness
The tech log, defects and continuing airworthiness under Part-ML sit beside the schedule, so an unserviceable aircraft leaves the diary the moment it is grounded.
