Instructing on your own? Run it all from your pocket.
Tired of tracking students in notebooks, text threads and spreadsheets? PartFive keeps every student, lesson, endorsement and flight in one app, so you always know who's ready for what.
No credit card · then $4.99/month · unlimited students · iPhone, iPad and web
Instructing is the fun part. The paperwork isn't.
Flipping through notebooks to see what a student has done
Every student's progress toward the checkride, on one screen.
Looking up endorsement wording the night before a solo
FAA endorsement templates, filled in and signed in seconds.
Scheduling lessons over a dozen text threads
A shared calendar your students see the moment you book.
Everything an independent CFI needs. Nothing you don't.
Know exactly where every student stands
Hours and maneuvers are tracked against what the checkride requires, lesson by lesson. See who's close, who's stalled and what's missing before you book the next flight.
Endorsements and sign-offs done right
Pick a template, confirm the details, sign. Every endorsement is dated and saved to the student's record, and you get a reminder to log it in your own logbook.
Schedule, fly and check the risk
Book lessons on a shared calendar. Before each flight your student runs a PAVE risk check with live weather, and you approve it before anyone takes off. If their answers don't match the weather, PartFive points it out.
Get paid, and share the record
Send your students a payment request right from the app and see who owes what. Share their full training record with one private link. They don't even need an account.
Up and running in five minutes.

Good to know
Do my students need to pay or download anything?
No. They can join free on the app or the web, or you can keep their record without them signing up at all.
What happens when my trial ends?
Your logbook, schedule and preflight checks stay free. Your student list stays visible, and you can export everything, any time.
Does it work on a computer too?
Yes. The same account works on iPhone, iPad and the web, all kept in sync.
What if I later join a flight school?
Your records go with you. Export a signed training record PDF for any student whenever you need it.
Spend less time on paperwork and more time flying.
30 days free. No credit card.
