What is AeroProgress?
AeroProgress is a personal flight training tracker built for student pilots - log every flight, plan routes, check today's weather and crosswind, and watch your progress toward your PPL or NPPL build up automatically. Training with a flight school? Your instructor and the rest of the school can join the same records too - but you don't need one to get started.
Everything you need to track your own training
Flight & lesson logging
Log every flight in full logbook detail - route, takeoffs and landings, solo and dual time, night and instrument time, and the weather conditions you actually flew in - and see your complete flight history and hours in one view.
Syllabus & theory progress
Track every exercise and theory exam against the PPL/NPPL syllabus, with certificates stored securely against each one, so you always know exactly what's left to cover.
Flight analytics
Your own analytics dashboard - hours broken down by solo, dual, night, and cross-country time, personal bests, pace toward your licence, and the weather and crosswind conditions you've actually flown in.
Live weather & crosswind checks
Today's METAR for your airfield, right on your dashboard, plus a live crosswind check against your trainer aircraft's limits, so you can see whether today's wind is flyable before a lesson is even booked.
VFR flight planning
A built-in nav log calculates heading, drift, groundspeed, and timing for every leg of a route from track, forecast wind, and TAS, and produces a printable plog to take flying.
Training with a flight school? Even better.
AeroProgress works completely standalone, but if you're at a flight school - or want to join one - it brings your instructor and the whole school's operation into the same records.
Aircraft technical records
Registrations, performance figures, and photos for the whole fleet, plus Hobbs/Tach logging for every flight, so the school has one accurate record for each aircraft.
Defect & airworthiness tracking
Defects get logged as they're found, so everyone can see at a glance which aircraft are airworthy, need attention, or are grounded, before anyone gets to the aircraft.
Instructor & school dashboards
Instructors see each student's progress at a glance; school admins oversee the whole school - accounts, aircraft, defects, and bookings - from a single dashboard, completely free.
Solo or with a school - your choice
Flying independently
Register in minutes, no flight school required. Log every flight, plan routes, track your progress toward your license, and keep your medical and exam certificates in one place - entirely on your own.
Training with a flight school
Join your school any time using its signup code. Your instructor logs lessons against your progress, and school admins manage the whole operation, aircraft fleet, and lesson bookings from one dashboard - free for the school, however many students join.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to join a flight school to use AeroProgress?
No - AeroProgress works entirely on its own. Register, log flights, track syllabus and theory progress, plan routes, and check weather - all without being part of a flight school. Join one later any time using its signup code, and everything you've already logged carries over automatically.
Is AeroProgress suitable for both PPL and NPPL training?
Yes - AeroProgress tracks your progress against both PPL and NPPL syllabuses, including the different hour requirements, medical declaration types, and theory exams each licence requires, so whichever you're working toward, everything is tracked correctly from day one.
Can I plan cross-country flights in AeroProgress?
Yes - the built-in VFR flight planner calculates heading, drift, groundspeed and timing for every leg of a route from the track, forecast wind, and TAS you enter, and produces a printable nav log to take flying.
How does the crosswind check work?
Set your home airfield's runway heading and your trainer aircraft's crosswind limit, and AeroProgress combines that with the airfield's live METAR to show you whether today's wind is within limits, right on your dashboard, before a lesson is even booked.
What happens after the 7-day free trial?
No card is needed to start your trial. After 7 days, you'll be asked to add a card and pick a plan from My Details to keep going - until you do, your access just pauses, so you're never charged automatically.
Is my data secure?
Yes - all data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted on UK-based infrastructure, and every flight school's records are isolated from every other school's at the database level, so no one else can ever see your data.
Can more than one flight school use AeroProgress?
Yes - AeroProgress is built for multiple independent flight schools, each with its own instructors, students, aircraft fleet, and records, fully separated from every other school on the platform.
How do I calculate crosswind?
Crosswind component = wind speed x sin(angle between the wind and the runway). Our free crosswind calculator works this out for you instantly - just enter the wind direction, wind speed, and runway heading.
How do I check the weather at an airport?
Every airport that reports weather publishes a METAR, updated roughly hourly. Our free METAR lookup fetches the latest one for any ICAO code and decodes it into plain English alongside the raw text.
