Welcome to Centerline
Centerline is an aircraft reservation and management system built specifically for flying clubs and aircraft partnerships. Whether you're running a two-ship partnership or a large club with dozens of members and an instructor program, Centerline gives everyone — from the weekend warrior to the chief pilot — a single, reliable place to coordinate.
Flying clubs run on trust, communication, and shared responsibility. A missed squawk report, a double-booked aircraft, or an expired medical slipping through the cracks can compromise safety and erode the community that makes club flying worthwhile. Centerline is designed to prevent those failures. The reservation system enforces fair scheduling rules and surfaces maintenance concerns before you walk out to the flight line. The squawk system makes it easy to report issues and track resolution. Automatic reminders help you stay current on your medical, BFR, and club-specific reviews. And because everything is tied to your specific organization, every member sees the same ground truth — no more phone-tag, spreadsheets, or whiteboard schedules.
Key Features
- Aircraft Reservations — Book flights on an intuitive calendar. Our backup reservation system ensures fair access when schedules overlap: backup reservations automatically promote to active when conflicts resolve, so you never lose your spot unfairly.
- Fleet Management — Track your aircraft with real-time squawk status, maintenance block visibility, and color-coded health indicators. Every pilot can see at a glance which aircraft are ready to fly.
- Maintenance Tracking — Create recurring and date-based maintenance schedules tied to each aircraft. The dashboard surfaces overdue and approaching items so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Squawk Reporting — Report maintenance issues from the field with descriptions, photos, and grounding recommendations. Maintenance staff can update, close, or escalate squawks — and pilots see open squawks the moment they look at a reservation.
- Member Management — Invite members, assign roles, and control which aircraft each pilot can book. User Management staff can handle onboarding without Account Owner involvement.
- Pilot Currency Tracking — Record medical, BFR, and club review expiration dates on your profile. Centerline will remind you — and show warnings on your flight cards — before your currency lapses.
- Announcements — Centerline publishes platform-wide announcements about new features, policy changes, and important news so you're always informed.
- Notifications — Receive in-app, email, and SMS alerts for reservation changes, reminders, backup promotions, and messages from your club admins.
- Events — If your club enables the Events feature, members can browse upcoming club activities, view seat availability, and register — all from the dashboard.
- Instructor Directory — Club instructors are listed on the dashboard with contact information and ratings, making it easy for members to find training.
