Part 61 Compliance, Finally Under Control
Student records, FAA compliance tracking, training checklists, and endorsement management. Built for Part 61 flight schools by real flight school operators.

The problem
Four problems every Part 61 school runs into
Paper binders and spreadsheets everywhere
Student records scattered across filing cabinets, Excel sheets, and instructor notebooks. When the FSDO calls, you're scrambling to pull it together.
Part 61 compliance is complex and high-stakes
Tracking hours against FAA regulatory minimums across multiple certificate tracks is error-prone. One missed requirement can delay a checkride or raise flags during an audit.
No visibility across instructors
When a student works with multiple instructors, there's no single source of truth for where they stand. Progress lives in individual instructors' heads.
Stage check readiness is a guess
Without structured checklists and progress tracking, deciding if a student is ready for a stage check or checkride is based on gut feel, not data.
What Maverick does
The compliance layer your flight school is missing
Student Records & Flight Logging
Every flight logged in one place. Times, maneuvers, approaches, takeoffs and landings, FAR references. All structured and searchable. No more deciphering handwritten logbook entries or hunting through paper files when it comes to check ride time.
Import Existing Records
Onboard transfer students without re-keying a logbook. Maverick imports flight history from ForeFlight and Flight Circle exports, flags the imported time as prior experience, and folds it into each student's Part 61 progress — so a transfer student's training counts from day one.
Part 61 Compliance Tracking
Live progress against FAA regulatory minimums for every certificate track, with an estimated checkride-readiness score. Career-track students get per-certificate progress across private, instrument, and commercial, and a checkride training window shows how much of the required recent training is already on the books before the practical test.
Endorsements & Stage-Check Checklists
Issue digital endorsements from AC 61-65K templates with instructor credentials auto-filled, and never miss an expiration — 90-day solo endorsements and the 60-day checkride sign-offs surface as alerts before they lapse. Stage-check and checkride-readiness checklists keep every requirement accounted for, and short-term training events — flight reviews, IPCs, aircraft checkouts, and tailwheel — auto-assign the right checklist and endorsement.
Prospective Student CRM
Track inbound leads from first inquiry through enrollment. Log communications, record interest and inquiry source, and convert a prospect to an active student in one click. Stop losing leads to sticky notes and forgotten emails.
The everyday payoff
A better-run school, every single day
Compliance is why schools choose Maverick. Keeping the whole operation organized — and every student moving — is what it does the other 30 days of the month.
One organized source of truth
Every student record, flight, checklist, and endorsement lives in one place. Any instructor can pick up any student and see exactly where they stand — no notebooks, no digging, no "ask whoever flew with them last."
Students who fly more, finish faster
Maverick flags every certificate-track student who hasn't flown in seven days, right on the dashboard, so no one quietly stalls between lessons. Momentum is the difference between a checkride this season and next.
Data you can actually act on
See the numbers that run a school — hours flown this week, who's checkride-ready, who needs a flight, and what to cover next lesson — pulled straight from logged flights, not a spreadsheet you have to maintain.

FAQ
Questions flight school owners actually ask
Maverick is compliance tracking and student record-keeping software for Part 61 flight schools. Flight logs, Part 61 progress against FAA minimums, stage-check checklists, endorsements, and prospective-student records live in one system, so your school always knows exactly where every student stands, and can prove it when it matters.
Part 61 flight school owners, chief instructors, and independent CFIs who need structured student records and FAA compliance tracking. Maverick is built for small schools, typically one to ten airplanes and a handful of instructors, that have outgrown paper binders and spreadsheets but don't need enterprise software.
No. Maverick handles compliance tracking and student training records; your scheduling tool keeps handling the calendar, dispatch, and billing. The two run side by side — your scheduler runs the flight line, and Maverick covers everything the FAA actually asks to see.
Yes. A student can pursue several tracks at once, say private pilot plus instrument, with progress tracked independently against each track's Part 61 minimums. There's also a Career Track bundle that carries a student from private through instrument, commercial, and CFI in one record.
$49 per month includes your school's first airplane; each additional airplane adds $15 per month. That's the whole model: a 6-airplane school pays $124. Every feature is included for every school: unlimited students, unlimited instructors, no tiers, and no feature gating.
Yes. Maverick imports flight history from ForeFlight and Flight Circle exports, and instructors can record verified prior experience for transfer students. Imported time is flagged as imported and layered into each student's Part 61 progress, so prior training counts from day one.
