Aircraft Clubs is an affordable, US-built scheduling and management tool aimed squarely at flying clubs and aircraft partnerships. It serves that audience well. If you are a UK club or syndicate, though, flyWilco offers the same club-friendly booking in a UK-first package, with live UK weather, pound pricing and a genuinely free tier, and room to grow into full school tools later.
Aircraft Clubs is popular with US flying clubs for good reason. It is fair to say it covers:
Club-friendly booking, built for UK general aviation.
UK aerodromes, METAR/TAF and civil-twilight times built in, with the language UK pilots use, rather than US-shaped defaults.
Free forever for small non-commercial groups, with the full scheduling, approvals and weather experience. No card required.
Home-field METAR and TAF on the board, plus a free VFR weather map across the UK, Europe and the USA.
Transparent GBP pricing with proper UK VAT, not dollar billing you have to convert.
Start as a club and switch on instructor scheduling, member tiers and the full school toolkit when you need it, on the same platform.
A clean, fast board your members actually enjoy using, on the web today with native apps on the way.
Aircraft Clubs is a solid US club tool. For a UK club, the fit is different.
