What Pilotbase does

Pilotbase, the parent brand of Flight Schedule Pro and LogTen, is a US-based vertical SaaS company serving the flight training industry. The company provides the world's first Pilot Experience Platform — a unified system that combines flight school operational management (scheduling, compliance, analytics), student progression tracking, instructor performance insights, professional pilot logbook capabilities (LogTen), career outcome connections, and an embedded financing pathway through an exclusive partnership with fintech lender Edly. The platform is available on iOS, Android, and Web and serves 1,400+ flight schools and 235,000+ students, instructors, and professional pilots across the United States, with particular focus on FAA Part 141 and Part 61 flight training organizations.

Underlying the platform is approximately 20 years of category leadership in flight school operational software via Flight Schedule Pro, with LogTen established as the premier digital logbook for professional pilots. The rebrand under Pilotbase in February 2026 was an explicit corporate restructuring — not a merger or acquisition — aligning the two legacy products under a broader pilot-development vision. The company positions itself as a multi-sided network connecting flight schools, student pilots, lenders (Edly), and pilot employers around verified training data and career pathways.

The business model is B2B SaaS subscription for the core platform, augmented by a potential referral or transaction-based revenue stream from the embedded Edly financing integration. Go-to-market combines product-led growth (a waitlist-driven launch inviting existing Flight Schedule Pro customers to become launch partners), enterprise field sales to named large flight school operators and universities (including US Aviation Academy, FLT Academy, Middle Georgia State University, and Middle Tennessee State University), event-driven launch activation (FSANA 2026 in San Diego), and channel partnerships (Edly). The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, founder-led under CEO and co-founder Nick Wegner and CRO Bryan Landaburu.
