For schools leaving MyFBO

MyFBO is gone. Your records do not have to be.

It retired on August 31, 2026. If you are still running on spreadsheets while you work out where to go, the difference here is simple: we move you across ourselves, at no charge, whatever size you are.

What everyone else is telling you

Keep your backup. Now type it all in again.

Read the migration guides and they land in the same place. Save your database backup, open the new system, and re-enter your fleet, your people, your rates and your reservations by hand. One of them says outright that it has no importer for a MyFBO backup and that you will be rebuilding.

That is a week of somebody's evenings, and it is how records get quietly lost. We do not think it is a reasonable thing to ask of a school that has already had its software taken away.

What we do instead

Send us the file. We will do the work.

A MyFBO database backup is not a spreadsheet, so there is no one-click button here or anywhere else. What there is: send us what you saved, and we open it, tell you exactly what is in there, and bring across what can be brought across.

Your fleet and your people firstAircraft, tails, rates, instructors, students and balances. The things you cannot run a Monday without, standing up before anything else.
Flight history as historyHours read in against the right tail and the right pilot, billed to nobody and moving nobody's balance. Your totals survive the move.
You see what did not fitAnything we cannot place is shown to you before a single record is written, rather than guessed at and quietly dropped.
No migration fee, at any sizeTwo aircraft or forty. Other vendors quote thousands for this and we charge nothing for it, because a school should not pay to stop being stranded.

If you never got a backup out

Plenty of schools did not. You are not stuck.

The site went dark faster than most people expected, and not everybody pulled a copy in time. If that is you, we start from what you do still have: the aircraft on the ramp, the people who fly them, the reservations in somebody's calendar, and whatever is on paper or in a spreadsheet.

Your logbooks are still your logbooks

Aircraft records live in the airframe and engine logs, not in a vendor's database. Current times, the last annual, and what is coming due all go in from those, which is where an inspector would look anyway.

A spreadsheet is enough to start

If you have been keeping the schedule in Excel since August, that imports. It shows you what it found and what it could not place before it writes anything.

It is still us doing it

Whichever way your data arrives, the setting up is ours. Your staff should be teaching and fixing airplanes, not keying in a fleet list.

What you are moving to

One system, with the maintenance in it.

Most of what replaced MyFBO is a scheduler. Airworthiness sits in a second product with a second bill, or in a spreadsheet nobody opens until something is overdue.

The airplane grounds itselfAn overdue inspection or an open airworthiness squawk and the tail stops releasing, with the item that stopped it named to whoever reached for it.
Scheduling and dispatchThe whole fleet across one day, shop time held in line with the flights, and a comparable airplane offered when a tail goes down.
Training records and billingPart 61 and Part 141, endorsements, stage checks, student accounts, card and bank payments, instructor pay out to QuickBooks.
An actual appon the App Store. Instructors grade and sign at the airplane, students check out at the tiedown, squawks get filed with a photo from the ramp.

Where to start

Look at it before you talk to anybody.

The demo builds an operation your size with a week of flying already on it. No signup, no form, nobody calling you afterward. When you are ready, the first thirty days are free and the moving is on us.

Already have a backup file and want somebody to look at it? Mail it to Blake.Ferguson@takeflightops.com and we will tell you what is in there, whether or not you end up here.
