FlightGrade is an iPhone and iPad app for flight instructors who want a clearer picture of how each student is progressing. Instead of juggling paper lesson notes, text messages, and mental checklists, FlightGrade gives you a single place to track what you’ve covered, what’s next, and how close each student is to their checkride.
What FlightGrade helps you do
- See progress at a glance: Organize students into training programs (like Private, Instrument, or Commercial) with progress bars that show how far they’ve come and what’s left.
- Capture every lesson clearly: After each flight or ground session, quickly log which skills and knowledge areas you worked on, add notes, and update ratings so you can pick up exactly where you left off next time.
- Make expectations visible to students: Use structured programs so students understand what “done” looks like and where they’re currently strong or weak.
- Stay organized across many students: Keep an up-to-date picture of all your students in one place so you’re not digging through notebooks or DMs when it’s time to schedule or brief.
Designed for real-world flying
- Built for CFIs first: FlightGrade is designed around how instructors actually work—short turnarounds between lessons, changing plans for weather, and students who progress at different speeds.
- Works offline during lessons: You can update lesson progress in the app even when you’re offline. Changes sync via iCloud when you’re back online so your records stay consistent across devices.
- iPhone and iPad support: Use FlightGrade on your iPhone in the cockpit or your iPad (including iPad mini) for pre- and post-flight briefings.
Platform & data
- Platform: iOS and iPadOS (iPhone and iPad)
- Data sync: Uses iCloud so your own devices stay in sync without managing a separate account system.
FlightGrade is focused on making it easier for instructors to teach, track, and sign off students with confidence—while spending less time on paperwork and more time flying.
