Aeros Strengthens Compliance Confidence with FlightLogger’s Booking Block Feature
Aeros Flight Training operates one of the UK’s leading modular pilot training programs, with academies in Gloucester, Coventry, Cardiff, Leeds, and Wellesbourne. Since 1986, they’ve prepared thousands of students for commercial aviation careers. A FlightLogger customer since 2019, Aeros continues to refine its digital workflows across a growing network of locations - including one recent improvement that added even greater confidence to their compliance processes.
Challenge
During a recent audit, Aeros was praised for its compliance procedures, particularly for ensuring that no pilot flies with out-of-date licenses. At the time, compliance was maintained through detailed record-keeping and system warnings.
But with multiple bases and a busy training schedule, the team saw an opportunity to go one step further: adding an automated safeguard to reinforce the checks already in place.
Solution & Implementation
To add this additional layer of security, Aeros activated FlightLogger’s booking block feature, which prevents users from scheduling flights unless all required certificates are valid and up to date.
The rollout was quick and seamless. From that point forward, the system provided an automatic compliance lock - an extra assurance on top of Aeros’ existing processes.
Christina, Product Manager at FlightLogger, learned about the update during a customer visit to Aeros’ Gloucester academy. While on-site, she spoke with staff across the operation and found that this enhancement stood out as one of their most valuable recent improvements.
As Chief Flying Instructor Mike explained, the feature brought both peace of mind and consistency - especially important for a decentralized operation managing scheduling and compliance across multiple bases.
And as a personal touch, Mike even took Christina up for a flight in one of their Tecnam aircraft — which, fittingly, is also part of the FlightLogger customer family. A small coincidence that brought the experience full circle and underscored the trust built over years of collaboration.
Results
- System-enforced certificate compliance
- Improved audit readiness on top of already strong processes
- Reduced admin burden for instructors and ops staff
- Increased consistency across 4+ UK locations
Beyond compliance, the visit reinforced how FlightLogger continues to support Aeros’ evolving needs. The team shared positive feedback across the board - not only on the platform itself but also on the responsiveness of FlightLogger’s support and the relevance of upcoming roadmap features.
"Even though our compliance was already strong, we saw the booking block feature as a way to add extra security. Now we know the system itself will prevent expired ratings or medicals from slipping through. It’s one of the smartest improvements we’ve made with FlightLogger." CFI Mike Hoft, Aeros Flight Training
