• Flight schools now have their own profile page — see the fleet, instructors, and locations, and book directly with the school. • Schools on School Pro can show their logo, photos, and contact details. • Member phone numbers and emails are now shared once you have a confirmed booking together. Until then, tap Message to get in touch. • Follow us on Instagram and Facebook — links are in the app footer. • Reliability fixes throughout.

• Checkrides now carry a 1.0-hour minimum, and an aircraft's minimum billing is waived when a flight is aborted before takeoff for a maintenance problem (a squawk goes to the owner automatically). • Renters can mark a booking as aborted for maintenance right from the booking card. • Admins can mark a member's email as verified. • Wording and reliability fixes throughout.

Clearer terms for everyone: • Cancellation policies: owners and instructors choose Flexible, Moderate, or Strict, and you see the policy on the listing and at checkout before you book — with the exact fee, if any, shown before you cancel • No-shows and late cancellations are handled in the app, and providers can waive a fee with one tap when weather or safety was the reason • Minimum billing: half the booked block, so a 4-hour reservation you barely used no longer leaves the owner empty-handed — your quote and receipt spell it out • Book further ahead: for flights more than a week out, your card is saved at checkout and the hold is placed six days before the booking ends • Verify your email with a 6-digit code to unlock booking, listing, and messaging • Safety acknowledgement at signup and on every booking, so the risks and responsibilities of flight are clear up front Plus: providers are paid out 48 hours after a completed session, and the Bookings page has a new Cancellations & no-shows section.

Find a flying partner: • New "Flying partner" flag — raise your hand for shared flying: safety-pilot time, splitting a cross-country, building hours • Every pilot can now publish an availability calendar and see a fellow pilot's free days on their profile — spot the days that line up, then plan the flight over messages • Find flying partners in Discover and the member directory — pick a time and see who's actually free The Lounge: • See who liked your post — just tap the like count • Photos open full screen — pinch to zoom, double-tap, pan Plus: student pilots who need TSA training clearance can now record their status themselves, and instructors see it right on their training bookings.

Your logbook just got a lot more powerful: • Bring your existing logbook with you — import from ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, LogTen Pro, MyFlightbook, or any CSV, with a full preview and one-tap undo • Carry forward career totals from a paper logbook • See everywhere you've flown on an interactive globe — every airport you've visited, connected by your actual routes, worldwide • Edit any logbook entry, and search your recent experience (last 90 days, 6 or 12 months, turbine/jet PIC, and more) For aircraft owners and flight schools: • Sync your aircraft's schedule with Google Calendar or any calendar app — publish AVident bookings as a feed, and connect your own calendar so outside commitments automatically block booking • Track 100-hour maintenance by tach time, with tach readings captured at every block-in • Run multiple school locations with per-location rates and co-admins Plus: • Book aircraft from a visual calendar showing exactly which days are open • A cleaner home for endorsements — instructors give them from their own page; your records live under Credentials • New sign-up roles: Dispatch and Future Pilot • Experimental aircraft are clearly badged, with rental protections built in • Discover shows more results per group and better availability info

Built for pilots whose line moves every month, not just fixed weekly hours. • Free for only part of a day? Mark just the hours — land at 2, teach from 3. The rest of the day follows your default. • Aircraft have calendars too. Owners can keep the plane for themselves on a date, open just a specific window, or make days request-only — booking requests on those days wait for the owner's approval. New for aircraft owners and mechanics: • Airplane Logs — maintenance records for each aircraft, with A&P mechanic sign-offs verified against the FAA registry. • Mechanics can publish shop capacity and a schedule, and get booked like any other provider. • My Hangar reorganized: collapsed groups, dedicated pages, and a clearer view of what you offer. For instructors: • Your issued AC 61-65 endorsements now appear on your instructor profile, and you can endorse any member — search the whole directory from the endorsement form. Getting started is easier: • A guided welcome flow for new members — add your photo and home base, and instructors can verify their FAA certificate and publish an hourly rate in one quick step. • A profile checklist shows exactly what's left before you can be booked. • Instructor search now shows only instructors who are ready to book. Plus notification fixes and many small improvements.
