Sure...you now have to scramble and spend a massive amount of time and energy (that you don't have to spare), and find a replacement solution for Airplane Manager. Then you need to migrate all your flight operations data to the new system. And then there's the massive coordinated effort to get everyone trained on using something new.

But this can turn out to be a good thing for your flight operation. There are limitations to Airplane Manager with some features or functions you have always not liked and you wish you could change. But Airplane Manager has a long standing history of refusing to make any customer requested modifications.

And if you are on the mid or top tier plans, there is the cost to consider. There are some good savings to be had with some of the other programs.  

So let's think of this as an opportunity to find the best fit for your flight operation and likely find something that does things better than Airplane Manager and at a lower cost. 

For USA based Part 135 Operators, there are roughly ten different programs to consider. Some of them are legacy programs and don't serve any purpose in a modern flight department. And others are new and shiny with exceptional functionality. Very few of them offer top notch customer service....and NONE OF THEM, bar one, will customize or update the system to suit your unique flight operations needs. 

And prices vary wildly from thousands per month down to just $75 per month. 

But not all programs (including ours) are a good fit for every flight operation. Depending on how you manage your other operational tasks (other than Charter Quoting for which you relied on Airplane Manager), will determine which alternative management software programs are best suited to your flight operation. We will gladly point you in the right direction if we are not a good fit. 

Things have come a long way in the last 10 years where flight ops no longer need to rely on 3 or more different software solutions to manage all the flight operations tasks. As a minimum, you should be migrating to a system that does QUOTING, SCHEDULING, FLIGHT LOG APP, MAINTENANCE TRACKING, ELECTRONIC RECORD KEEPING, FLIGHT & DUTY TRACKING, CREW CURRENCY TRACKING and SAFETY MANAGEMENT FRAT.  

FlightPro 135 has been serving Part 135 operators since 2011. All software and app development is done inhouse. Our platform is constantly being upgraded with new features, and everything.....absolutely everything...is included in the low flat monthly fee.
