The all-in-one tool built to run your flight school
Works alongside Flight Schedule Pro, Flight Circle or Flycore.
Every call, text, email and website chat lands in one inbox and gets answered, even when the owner is teaching, flying, or already on the phone.
14-day free trial on every plan. Card required, no charge until day 14, cancel anytime. Setup is free: we text you shortly (next business morning if it’s after hours) to build your cockpit with you.
A new lead arrives. A website form, call, text or chat lands in one inbox the second it comes in.

Where it comes from: our work for Take Flight Aviation
The follow-up system we ran at Take Flight Aviation, now built into one piece of software. These numbers are from the marketing we ran for Take Flight. Take Flight did not use Click to Cockpit.
Estimated time saved
About 2 hours a day back
Calling back, texting, chasing the inquiry you missed while you were flying: Click to Cockpit does the chasing, and the hours add up.
What 730 hours is worth
About 91 full workdays (730 ÷ 8 hours).
Example: at $20 an hour for front-desk time, 730 hours is $14,600 a year. The Cruise plan is $3,588 a year. Use your own hourly number.
- Missed a call while flying? The caller gets a text back automatically.
- Same questions every day? Saved replies answer them in seconds.
- Five places to check? Calls, texts, email, chat and web forms land in one inbox.
Estimated, based on 2 hours saved a day. 2 × 7 days = 14 a week (flight schools run weekends) · 2 × 365 = 730 a year · 730 ÷ 12 ≈ 61 a month, shown as about 60. The chart is an example: 3 hours a day of follow-up by hand against 1 hour a day with Click to Cockpit. Your numbers will differ.
We're in the business of filling your discovery-flight calendar
Click to Cockpit is the front door of the school: everything that happens between the ad click and the first lesson. It works alongside the tools you already run.

Profit tracking Rolling out
See which ads actually make you money
A lead is not a student. The Profit report sets what you spent on each ad against what the students from that ad paid you.
- Profit per ad source and campaign: what you spent, what students paid, what is left
- Cost per enrolled student and return on ad spend, worked out for you
- The funnel: inquiries → discovery flights booked → flown → enrolled → paying students
- Download the numbers as a spreadsheet file (CSV)
Built and tested, rolling out to accounts with the next app update. You enter your ad spend (type it in or import a file) and record each student's payments; Click to Cockpit does the math. Profit here means what students paid minus what the ads cost. On the Cruise and Full Crew plans.

Every inquiry answered, even when the owner is busy Live
At most schools the owner takes the calls, and the owner is also the one teaching, flying and running the place. The inquiry that hears nothing for an hour books somewhere else. Click to Cockpit catches it and answers it.

Stages, snippets and reports use the words a school uses: discovery flight, first solo, checkride, next rating.
Bryghton Media builds it and answers the phone. A pilot who ran a flight school's marketing, not a faceless platform.
For about a year and a half Bryghton ran the marketing at Take Flight Aviation in Montgomery, New York. On Google Ads the school's leads went from 99 a month to 173 between February and April 2026, and every inquiry got a text, an email and a call. Click to Cockpit is that follow-up system, built into software.

Made by a pilot who ran a flight school's marketing
Bryghton is an instrument-rated private pilot. For about a year and a half he ran the marketing at Take Flight Aviation in Montgomery, New York: Google Ads, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, the website, email, and the follow-up on every inquiry. The lesson was simple: the school that answers first gets the student, and the owner cannot answer first from the right seat. Click to Cockpit is that answer, built into the all-in-one software made just for flight schools.
Straight answers
The questions flight schools ask us most.
Does it replace Flight Schedule Pro, Flight Circle or Flycore?
No. Not replacing your scheduling software. Click to Cockpit works alongside Flight Schedule Pro, Flight Circle and Flycore: they run scheduling, Click to Cockpit makes sure every lead gets answered. It is the front door, everything between the ad click and the first lesson. Student import from Flight Schedule Pro and Flight Circle is being built now.
Whose phone number do the texts come from?
Your school's own number. No short codes, so the number on your sign is the number that replies. We set up texting with you after you sign up.
Is it actually built?
Yes. Every screenshot on this page is the real software, shown on a demo school (the animated demo at the top uses demo data). Items marked Coming or In progress are being built now and are labeled the same way on every plan.
What does setup cost, and how long does it take?
Setup is free. After you sign up we text you shortly (next business morning if it’s after hours) and build it with you: stages, snippets, the web form and the chat widget. Most schools are answering inquiries from the inbox the same day.
What if I cancel during the free trial?
Cancel anytime from your billing page during the 14 days and you keep full access until day 14. You are never charged.
Is there a contract?
Month to month, or a year with two months free. Founding schools keep their price for as long as they stay.
Can I see it before I pick a plan?
Yes. Every screenshot on this page is the real software, and the 14-day trial is the full product with nothing charged until day 14. Or book a demo and we walk you through it live.
Does an AI pretend to be a person?
No. The chat widget and missed-call text-back say who they are and hand off to a real person. Wilco, the assistant inside Click to Cockpit, helps your staff and never poses as staff.
