Wingmint vs Pilotbase

Pilotbase pivoted to flight schools. Wingmint is the flying club alternative.

Flight Schedule Pro rebranded to Pilotbase in February 2026, repositioning around student progression and pilot career tracking. Flying clubs deserve software that still puts them first.

Pilotbase (formerly Flight Schedule Pro) is now 'the world's first Pilot Experience Platform' aimed at flight schools, universities, and pilot training centers. Wingmint is purpose-built for small, self-managed US flying clubs: $9 per aircraft per month, Stripe ACH at 0.92% capped at $5.75, TSA FTSP compliance enforced at booking time, Keycafe key exchange, and a Google-Calendar-grade per-resource schedule. If your club is not a Part 141 academy, Wingmint is built for you.

Primary audience

Pilotbase's February 2026 rebrand explicitly positions the product as 'the world's first Pilot Experience Platform' oriented toward student progression, training records, and career tracking.

Self-managed flying clubsFlight schools & universities

Aircraft & instructor scheduling

Student progression tracking

Pilotbase ships stage gates, syllabus tracking, and student dashboards. Wingmint does not target the student progression use case.

LogTen Pro integration

Flight Schedule Pro acquired Coradine (LogTen) in 2022. Pilotbase ships a native LogTen sync. Wingmint supports ForeFlight, MyFlightbook, and LogTen Pro via API export.

Transparent cost-based pricing

Pilotbase retains Flight Schedule Pro's quote-only pricing model.

Published platform pricing

ACH member billing under 1%

Stripe ACH at 0.92% capped at $5.75 vs Payrix at 1% capped at $100.

TSA FTSP candidate vetting workflow

Wingmint enforces 49 CFR 1552 at booking time. Pilotbase's Part 141 module covers training compliance broadly but not the full FTSP candidate vetting flow.

Keycafe SmartBox key exchange

Auto-ground per FAR 91.205

Public REST API on every plan

Pilotbase grants API access case-by-case through a developer portal.

Google-Calendar-grade scheduling

Wingmint uses a per-resource day-vertical grid modeled on Google Calendar. Pilotbase retains FSP's Gantt-style dispatch layout designed for Part 141 operations.

Which one should you pick?

Straight answer — no sleight of hand.

Choose Wingmint if

You run a small, self-managed Part 91 flying club.

Your members do not need student stage gates, syllabus tracking, or career dashboards. You need scheduling, billing, compliance, and key handoff at a published price. Wingmint is built for this and only this.

Stick with them if

You run a Part 141 academy or university flight program.

Student progression tracking, LogTen integration, Sporty's ground school partnerships, and training-center personas are where Pilotbase is investing. If your primary need is academy-grade dispatch and course management, Pilotbase remains the category leader.

Pilotbase FAQ

Understanding the rebrand.

Is Pilotbase the same as Flight Schedule Pro?
Yes. Pilotbase is the new name for Flight Schedule Pro. The rebrand was announced on February 25, 2026, with a press release describing Pilotbase as 'the world's first Pilot Experience Platform' focused on uniting aviation training around student progress. The underlying product is the same codebase, same team, same accounts. Existing FSP logins still work at the same URLs.
Why did Flight Schedule Pro rebrand to Pilotbase?
The rebrand reflects a strategic pivot toward flight schools, university programs, and pilot career tracking. The announcement language centers on 'student progress,' 'pilot experience,' and training-center personas. Self-managed flying clubs are still supported but are no longer the primary audience in Pilotbase's positioning or product roadmap.
What does the Pilotbase rebrand mean for flying clubs that use Flight Schedule Pro?
Existing clubs keep their accounts and data. The product itself has not been removed or downgraded. The concern for flying clubs is strategic: Pilotbase's roadmap is now oriented toward flight-school-specific features like student stage gates, syllabus tracking, and career dashboards. Clubs that need scheduling, billing, and compliance for Part 91 operations may find the product increasingly complex with features they will never use.
Should my flying club switch from Pilotbase to Wingmint?
If your club is a small, self-managed Part 91 operation (2-10 aircraft, 50-300 members) and you do not need Part 141 training records or student progression tracking, Wingmint is purpose-built for your use case. You get transparent $9/aircraft pricing, ACH at 0.92% capped at $5.75, TSA FTSP enforcement at booking time, Keycafe key exchange, and a Google-Calendar-grade schedule. If you are a Part 141 academy, Pilotbase remains the better fit.
How do I migrate from Pilotbase to Wingmint?
Export your aircraft roster, member list, and opening balances from Pilotbase/FSP as CSV. Wingmint imports them directly. Stripe onboarding replaces Payrix for payments and takes about an hour. Keycafe mapping is a one-time admin task. Most clubs complete the switch in an afternoon with one billing cycle of dual-tracking before cutting over fully.
