Built around your operation
Designed by someone who schedules lessons, signs assessments and runs simulator sessions himself. The software follows your way of working — not the other way around.
For flight schools & training organisations
This platform, but for your organisation
The platform V-Rotate built for NextLevel Pilots runs there every day: scheduling, CRM, EASA assessments, invoicing, simulator tech log and native apps. That same foundation can become the basis for your flight school, simulator operator or training institute.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Scheduling in spreadsheets
Lessons in Excel, availability via chat messages, double bookings you only discover on the day itself — and nobody with the full picture except that one person.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Paper administration
Assessment forms in binders, a paper tech log next to the simulator, signatures that go missing and audits that take days to prepare.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Leads evaporating
Enquiries via website, Instagram and email end up in different inboxes. Who has been followed up? Good question.
What you get instead
One system for the whole operation
Not a separate subscription per problem, but one coherent platform — proven in daily operation at NextLevel Pilots.
Scheduling & availability
Calendar with conflict detection, course days that generate multiple lessons at once, availability requests via a simple link (no login needed) and automatic reminders. Optionally with an AI planner that can only pick valid options.
CRM & leads
All enquiries — website, social, email — in one funnel with follow-up tasks and templates. You see at a glance who needs attention and which lead has gone quiet.
Assessments (EASA CBTA)
Digital competency assessments with observable behaviours, signed by instructor and student, and radar charts per student. Audit-ready without paper.
Invoicing
Invoices with payment links, automatic reminders and a detector that flags completed lessons without an invoice line — so no revenue is left behind.
Apps for students & instructors
Native iOS and Android apps: view schedules, submit availability, read documents offline, push reminders. Your organisation in your people's pockets.
Community
A discussion forum of your own for students and alumni — channels, replies and a weekly digest. Replaces Slack or a Facebook group, without per-user costs and with your own house rules.
Simulator tech log
Session management with digital signing, defect registration with ATA codes, daily checks and modification records — the paper logbook fully replaced.
Why this is different
No per-seat licence, but a platform of your own
Off-the-shelf packages charge per user, per month, forever — and your operation has to adapt to their workflow. This works the other way around.
Your platform, your data
No data at an American SaaS provider, no price hike per seat as you grow. EU hosting, clear agreements about code and ownership up front.
No-nonsense infrastructure
Shared hosting and MySQL instead of expensive cloud architecture. The monthly running costs of the complete NextLevel platform are lower than a single seat at many off-the-shelf packages.
Not an experiment
This is no concept: the platform runs daily at a training institute that has guided over 1,500 pilots since 2010. The teething problems have already been solved.
Choose your route
As your own platform, or as a service
There are two ways to take this on — what fits depends on your size, budget and how much control you want.
ROUTE A · CUSTOM
Your own platform
Built around your operation, full control and clear agreements about the code. A one-off investment plus care at your own pace. The best choice if you have specific workflows or see the platform as a strategic asset.
ROUTE B · SAAS
The platform as a service
Start quickly on the proven platform: a fixed monthly fee per organisation — no per-seat pricing — including hosting, updates and backups. Low entry, no maintenance of your own. I am actively exploring this model — and with MesaWeb I already run a multi-tenant platform, so the technology is proven. Early adopters help shape the roadmap.
Exploratory call?
I am currently exploring interest in making this platform more widely available to flight schools and training organisations. Curious what it could mean for your operation? A call is free of obligation — and you will get an honest answer either way, including when an off-the-shelf package makes more sense for you.
