## What is HobbStack?

Run your flight school, club, partnership, or personal flying operation with software built for the flight line, not borrowed from spreadsheets.

EVERY FEATURE ON EVERY PLAN. ONLY PAY FOR AIRCRAFT.
Unlimited members. No per-user, per-instructor, or per-transaction fees. One subscription covers your whole operation.

FEATURES

Scheduling & Dispatch
Drag-and-drop calendar designed for the flight line. Aircraft, instructors, and rooms on one unified view with real-time conflict prevention, a standby queue, and automated dispatch chaining.

Offline-First Flight Wizard
A guided, multi-step flight recording system that works with or without internet. Pre-flight checks, in-flight data, post-flight checkout, and CFI signing, all from the tarmac. Auto-generates dispatch receipts.

Billing & Charge Tracking
Charges auto-generate from flight checkout with rates, taxes, and totals calculated automatically. Track member balances and export statements.

Fleet & Maintenance
Live status boards, Hobbs and tach tracking, squawk reporting, work orders, and data-driven maintenance forecasting, all in real time.

Weather & Briefing
Real-time aviation weather (METAR, TAF, NOTAMs, TFRs) with flight-category colors and automated go/no-go summaries. Every pilot gets the right briefing before they fly.

Logbook & Endorsements
FAR 61.51 compliant pilot logbook with digital CFI signatures, auto-generated descriptions, AC 61-65H endorsement templates, and PDF/CSV export.

Currency & Compliance
Automated pilot currency tracking for BFR, night, instrument, and tailwheel. Always know who can fly and who needs a checkout.

Reports & Analytics
Data-driven insights for fleet utilization, revenue, instructor activity, and more, with scheduled email delivery and PDF + CSV export.

Offline-First Progressive Web App
Built for pilots at remote airfields with no signal. The app works offline, caches flight data locally, and syncs transparently when connectivity returns.

Security
httpOnly authentication, capability-based permissions, and encrypted data in transit and at rest. Full data export on demand.

WHO IT'S FOR

Flight schools: student and instructor scheduling with CFI approval, endorsement tracking, auto-generated invoices, and dispatch receipts.

Flying clubs: fair aircraft access, transparent maintenance visibility, treasurer-friendly dues, and club-wide announcements.

Aircraft partnerships: co-owner scheduling, per-partner billing and usage tracking, shared maintenance, and one unified logbook.

Solo pilots and owners: a free Personal tier, $0/mo forever. Personal logbook, currency tracking, weather briefing, and weight & balance for one aircraft. No card required.

BUILT INDEPENDENTLY
Hobbstack is independently owned and operated, built for the long term by a software engineer obsessed with the workflow.
