What GliderOps does
One system for the whole flying day — from the duty roster on Tuesday to the invoice run at the end of the month.
Every Part of Club Operations. One Platform.
From the moment a glider launches to the invoice that lands in a member's inbox — dispatch, scheduling, booking, instruction, maintenance, and billing all run through one system, built specifically for the way soaring clubs actually operate.
The Dispatch Board Built for a Flight Line
- One-click Launch/Land timers and live status for every flight in progress
- Guided safety checks flag missing info, double-logged gliders, or a landing recorded before launch
- Flight costs calculate automatically the moment a flight lands — tow rates, rental time, and student discounts included
Staffing That Runs Itself
- A flying-day calendar shows staffing status at a glance — ready, needs help, or critical
- Members sign up by role — dispatcher, tow pilot, ground crew, CFI — gated to who's actually qualified
- Minimum-staffing rules and signup caps are enforced automatically, club-wide
Booking Without the Back-and-Forth
- A guided wizard shows members only real, conflict-free time slots — no manual slot setup required
- Double-bookings are blocked in the interface and at the database level — even simultaneous attempts can't collide
- An automated waitlist fills open slots the instant a cancellation or new tow pilot signup creates one
Everything a CFI Needs, One Screen
- A student dashboard combines currency stats, checkouts, and flight debriefs in one view
- Structured debriefs and maneuver-progress tracking follow the student across every instructor
- Weekly notes, milestones, and BFR status stay visible so nothing falls through the cracks
Know Your Fleet's Status Before You Book It
- Serviceable, squawk, and out-of-service status is visible fleet-wide the moment it changes
- Instructors are emailed automatically if a glider they reserved gets grounded
- Towplane Hobbs, fuel, and oil logs calculate burn rate and count down to the next overhaul automatically
Billing That Runs on Autopilot
- Flown flights convert straight into charges using your club's rate tables — no manual math
- Batch-generate, email, and track invoices for the whole membership in a few clicks
- A full member directory, self-service registration, and CSV import/export round out the roster side
Plus the Operational Backbone
Reporting, automated emails, configuration, and access control — running quietly in the background so everything above just works.
Reporting & Documents
- PDF invoices and flight logs, generated on demand
- Excel exports for volunteer activity, fleet utilization, and account balances
- One-click leaderboards for banquets and newsletters
Automated Communications
- Daily flight summaries and a weekly schedule digest, sent automatically
- Instant alerts the moment a waitlisted slot opens or a glider is grounded
- A safe test mode for every scheduled email before it goes live to members
Administration & Configuration
- Dozens of operating parameters editable from one screen, with a full audit trail
- Automatic fallback to safe defaults if the settings store is ever unavailable
- One-click configuration backup and restore
Roles & Access
- Permissions combine like building blocks — a dispatcher who's also a CFI gets both toolsets automatically
- Whoever's dispatching today gets temporary elevated rights, automatically
- Self-service vs. admin boundaries enforced in the interface and on the server
