In short

What does an aviation training management system actually do for a flight school?

An aviation training management system (TMS / ATMS) like Aviatize runs the academic and practical training pipeline end to end: it holds the syllabus, tracks each student's progress through every lesson, captures instructor grades and competencies, and produces audit-ready records for the regulator. Because Aviatize keeps training, scheduling, billing, and contracts on one platform, the head of training, accounting, and operations all work from a single source of truth instead of stitching three systems together.

At a glance

  • Customizable syllabi for PPL, CPL, IR, ATPL, type ratings, and ground school
  • Competency-based training and assessment (CBTA) per ICAO and EASA
  • Student progress dashboards that flag exercises needing repetition early
  • Instructor grading workflows with permanent records for audits
  • Compliance for FAA Part 61/141, EASA Part-ATO/DTO, UK CAA, CASA, and 110+ authorities
  • Auto-match of training sessions to package and contract allocations

Aviatize aviation TMS vs. spreadsheets and separate tools

Paper logbooks and spreadsheet syllabi track grades and stop there. Because the Aviatize TMS is connected to scheduling, billing, and contracts, the work around each training event is handled on the same platform.

What is an Aviation TMS (ATMS)?

An Aviation Training Management System (TMS) — also written as ATMS — is the platform that runs the training side of a flight school, ATO, or airline cadet program. A TMS holds the syllabus, tracks each student's progress through every lesson, captures instructor grades and competencies, and produces the audit-ready training records required by FAA, EASA, UK CAA, CASA, and 110+ aviation authorities.

Aviatize is an end-to-end Aviation TMS that goes beyond training records. The same platform handles scheduling, billing, contract management, and maintenance — so the head of training, accounting, and operations all work from one source of truth instead of stitching three systems together.

Inside the Aviatize Aviation TMS

From syllabus design to check ride readiness, the Aviatize Training Management System tracks every step so students progress faster and instructors work smarter.

Customizable Training Syllabi

Build syllabi for any program — PPL, CPL, IR, ATPL, type ratings, or ground school. Define phases, lessons, exercises, grading criteria, and proficiency levels. Import or build from scratch.

Student Progress Tracking

Track completion across every training event. Visual progress graphs show where each student stands, flag exercises needing repetition, and identify trends across your entire student body.

Competency-Based Grading

Grade students using configurable criteria after each training event. Support for competency-based training and assessment (CBTA) as recommended by ICAO and adopted by EASA.

Homework & Flight Preparation

Instructors assign homework when booking training flights. Students upload work via the mobile app. Instructors review before the flight, saving briefing time and improving outcomes.

Instructor Grading & Feedback

Instructors grade and comment on each exercise. Track instructor grading patterns to identify inconsistencies. All grades and notes are stored permanently for audits and compliance.

Regulatory Compliance Built In

Training records meet requirements for FAA Part 61, Part 141, EASA Part-DTO, Part-ATO, and 110+ aviation authorities. Export records for check rides, audits, and regulatory reviews.

Why Flight Schools and ATOs Switch to the Aviatize TMS

Aviatize is an Aviation TMS that is part of a complete flight school platform. Unlike standalone TMS / ATMS tools, training is connected to scheduling, billing, and compliance — so the same student record drives the syllabus, the invoice, and the regulator export.

Electronic Training Records (ETR) — Built In

Every lesson scheduled, every grade entered, every competency assessed, every endorsement issued, and every skill-test outcome captured in Aviatize becomes a structured Electronic Training Record against the trainee's profile — no separate records system, no shadow spreadsheet. Heads of Training, Compliance Monitoring Managers, and trainees see the same audit trail.

The records meet retention and audit-export requirements for FAA Part 141 / Part 61, EASA Part-ATO / Part-DTO, UK CAA, CASA, SACAA, TCCA, DGCA, and 110+ aviation authorities. Audit-ready bundles for graduation packets, regulator inspections, or on-demand evidence requests export in seconds — not the hours it takes to pull a paper file. Migrating from paper or a legacy system? Aviatize imports historical training records so the institutional ETR covers pre-migration trainees, not just new starts.

Training management is one module in the Aviatize platform. See all features including scheduling, billing, maintenance, compliance, and more.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Aviation Training Management System (TMS / ATMS)?

An Aviation Training Management System — known industry-wide as a TMS or ATMS — is software that manages the academic and practical training pipeline at a flight school, ATO, or airline cadet program. A TMS tracks student progress through syllabi, records grades and competencies, manages homework and ground school, schedules training events, and ensures records meet regulatory requirements for FAA, EASA, UK CAA, CASA, and other authorities. Aviatize is an Aviation TMS / ATMS used by flight schools and ATOs in 47+ countries.

Is Aviatize a TMS, an ATMS, or an LMS?

Aviatize is an Aviation TMS (also called an ATMS — Aviation Training Management System) with substantial built-in scope that overlaps the LMS boundary. The platform handles the full TMS scope — syllabi, scheduling, instructor grading, student progression, qualification tracking, and compliance records — plus a built-in exam and quiz module (question banks per subject, exam composition, individual or group assignment) and full ground-class tracking (sitting, attendance, progress checks, progress tests) suitable for EASA ATO theoretical knowledge requirements. What Aviatize does not deliver today is e-learning content streaming — video courseware, SCORM/xAPI modules, and content-consumption tracking are LMS-side capabilities. Schools and ATOs that need deep e-learning content libraries pair Aviatize with a dedicated aviation LMS (Pelesys, CAE Rise, Sheffield, GENIO, or another) for content delivery, while Aviatize remains the platform of record for syllabus progression, exams, grading, and audit-ready training records.

Is FTMS the same as a Flight Training Management System?

In aviation, 'FTMS' most commonly refers to a Flight Management System (FMS) Trainer — a desktop avionics training device, not training-school software. The software category for managing a flight school's training operation is universally called a TMS or ATMS (Training Management System / Aviation Training Management System). Aviatize is a TMS / ATMS for the operation of flight training — not an avionics FMS trainer.

How does Aviatize manage flight training?

Aviatize provides customizable syllabi for any program — PPL, CPL, IR, ATPL, type ratings, or ground school. Instructors grade students after each event using configurable criteria. The system tracks completion, flags exercises needing repetition, and provides progress graphs so you can identify struggling students early.

Can I build custom training syllabi in Aviatize?

Yes. Create fully customizable syllabi for any training program. Define phases, lessons, exercises, grading criteria, and proficiency levels. Import pre-made syllabi from other systems or build from scratch. Syllabi can be strict (sequential) or flexible depending on your school's approach.

Does Aviatize support competency-based training?

Yes. Aviatize supports competency-based training and assessment (CBTA) as recommended by ICAO and adopted by EASA. Track competencies alongside traditional grading and ensure students meet proficiency standards before progressing.

Does training tie into billing for ab-initio contracts and VA benefits?

Yes — and this is where Aviatize stands out from training-only platforms. Billing and accounting are first-class citizens alongside training, scheduling, and maintenance. The Contract Management module models ab-initio programs, airline cadet contracts, VA Chapter 31/33 enrollments, and prepaid block-hour packages with three-tier allocations (Dual / Solo / Ground) filtered by aircraft type. As a student progresses through the syllabus, Aviatize auto-matches each session to the right allocation, recognizes deferred revenue per flight (not at package sale), and posts itemized line items to QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, or Exact Online in real time. Training managers keep their syllabus workflow exactly as it is; accounting managers get clean books from the source.

How much does a flight training management system cost?

Aviatize pricing starts at $29 per aircraft per month with unlimited users. Training management, scheduling, billing, contract management, accounting integration, and maintenance are all included. A 30-day guided trial is available after a 30-minute fit call so we tailor it to your school.
