Our Journey & Milestones

How we went from a single mass & balance tool to a full aviation operations platform.

2024 - Early 2024

The First Tool

Ted started developing a mass and balance tool that allows airplanes to enter their mass and balance details and convert it to a printable and PDF-ready mass and balance sheet.

Key Achievements:

  • Mass and balance calculation tool
  • PDF export functionality
  • Printable format support

2024 - Q2

Expanding the Vision

Gilles and Ted saw flight schools juggling spreadsheets, paper logs, and expensive legacy software — and started building one connected platform.

Key Achievements:

  • Identified key pain points in aviation operations
  • Planned connected tools for schools and clubs
  • Designed platform architecture

2024 - Q3

Pilotflows Development Begins

Started developing Pilotflows — logbooks, scheduling, and operations tools built around how pilots actually work.

Key Achievements:

  • Logbook
  • Scheduling
  • Aircraft & fleet management

2025 - Q3

Private Beta Launch

Opened Pilotflows to early adopters — pilots, schools, and dropzones testing real workflows and shaping what we ship next.

Key Achievements:

  • Pilots, flight schools, and dropzones onboarded
  • Skydiving manifest and gear tracking
  • Invoicing and accounting tools

2026 - Q2

Mobile Apps Launch

Released the Pilotflows mobile applications on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store — giving pilots full access to their logbook and tools on the go.

Key Achievements:

  • iOS app released on the Apple App Store
  • Android app released on Google Play
  • Mobile logbook and flight tracking

2026+ - Ongoing

Continuous Growth

Shipping regular updates based on operator feedback — making professional aviation tools accessible at fair pricing.

Why We Built Pilotflows

The problem we set out to fix — and where we're taking it

The Problem We're Solving

As commercial pilots, we experienced firsthand the frustration of expensive, outdated aviation management software. Flight schools and small operators were forced to choose between enterprise solutions costing thousands per month or outdated systems. We recognized that professional-grade aviation tools shouldn't be a luxury reserved for large operations.

Our Mission

To make professional aviation tools accessible — affordable pricing, clear workflows, and software that holds up under real operational load.

Our Vision

To become the industry standard for aviation management software, enabling safer and more efficient operations worldwide.

Values & Culture

How we make decisions and what we won't compromise on

Pilot-First Design

Built by pilots, for pilots. Every feature reflects how aviation actually works on the ground.

Affordability

Making professional aviation tools accessible to operations of all sizes. No hidden fees, transparent pricing from €4.99/month.

User Experience

Clear interfaces that save time and reduce training needs. Built for daily use, not demo day.

Safety & Compliance

Keeps operations compliant without the overhead. Security and regulatory requirements are built in, not bolted on.

Safety First

Every tool we build supports safe operations — from compliant logbooks to crew currency tracking and maintenance records.

Transparency

Flat pricing, no hidden fees, public changelog. We say what we ship and ship what we say.

Ship from feedback

We ship based on what operators actually need — regular updates shaped by pilot, instructor, and DZ manager feedback.
