PlaneBud

New: an AI assistant for your fleet — ask about your hours, inspections, and squawks, log flights by chat, and pull live METAR weather for any airport.

PlaneBud is the all-in-one aircraft management app built for private pilots, co-owners, flying clubs, and flight schools operating under Part 91. Whether you own a single Cessna or run a shared fleet, PlaneBud keeps your planes, pilots, and paperwork organized.

AI ASSISTANT Ask about your fleet in plain English. The PlaneBud AI can check aircraft status, add up your hours, look up inspections and squawks, check the schedule, and pull live METAR weather for any airport. Log a flight, record an inspection, or report a squawk right from the chat — and escalate to human support anytime.

AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT Track your entire fleet in one place. Monitor aircraft status, fuel, oil, Hobbs and tach readings at a glance. Set a home base to see live airport weather on every aircraft page.

FLIGHT LOGGING Log every flight with pilot info, route, Hobbs and tach times, fuel burn, and oil. Automatic hour calculations save you time. Pilots review open squawks before each flight, and instructors can sign off student flights. Export to CSV or Excel anytime.

INSPECTIONS & COMPLIANCE Stay on top of annuals, 100-hour inspections, transponder and pitot-static checks, ELT, oil changes, and more. Organize inspections into groups, track completion, and never miss a due date.

SQUAWK TRACKING Report and manage maintenance issues with severity levels, from watch items to grounding. Keep your mechanic in the loop and your aircraft airworthy.

PRE-FLIGHT DISPATCH A one-screen go/no-go check: live weather, open squawks, inspections coming due, and last known readings before you fly.

PILOT CURRENCY & ENDORSEMENTS Track medical, flight review, IFR, and night currency with expiration alerts. Record CFI endorsements with built-in FAR templates.

SCHEDULING & RESERVATIONS Book aircraft with an integrated calendar. View by month, week, day, or list. No more scheduling conflicts between co-owners.

PAYMENTS & COST SHARING Split real-world flying costs fairly with built-in billing and balance tracking for club members. Admins set monthly contributions and manage transactions with secure payment processing.

DOCUMENTS & LOGBOOKS Store registration, insurance, airworthiness certificates, weight and balance, STCs, and more in the cloud. Maintain digital logbooks for every aircraft.

FLIGHT SCHOOLS The School plan adds unlimited aircraft and users, a school dashboard with student currency at a glance, pending sign-off tracking, drawn-signature endorsements, and PDF endorsement records.

ORGANIZATIONS & TEAMS Create or join organizations for shared aircraft. Invite members and assign roles — owner, admin, instructor, mechanic, pilot, student, renter, or guest — with role-based permissions.
