The Problem

Your fleet has outgrown
your spreadsheet.

You built this business around trainer aircraft, flight school relationships, and decades of aviation expertise. Not around spreadsheet formulas.

But right now, you're tracking 40 aircraft across 30 flight schools using 25+ Excel tabs. Engine reserves are calculated by hand. Lease expirations are remembered, not monitored. Hobbs reports arrive late — or not at all.

You've stopped adding aircraft not because the deals aren't there, but because your systems can't hold any more.

That's not a spreadsheet problem. That's a software problem.

What HobbsHQ Does

Built for how aviation
leasing actually works.

Aircraft & Lease Tracking

  • Complete fleet registry with specs, operational status, and location
  • Every lease tracked with automated renewal alerts at 90, 60, and 30 days
  • Lessee portal for self-service document uploads
  • Multi-tier minimum hour agreements (e.g., 20 hrs months 1–2, 40 hrs thereafter)

Engine & Reserve Management

  • Time Between Overhaul (TBO) countdown on every engine
  • Automatic reserve calculations at $17.50 per Hobbs hour
  • Alerts at 80%, 90%, and 95% of TBO — before you get caught
  • Real-time reserve adequacy vs. projected overhaul cost

Hobbs Operations

  • Monthly Hobbs logging with automatic minimum hour compliance checks
  • Automated reporting workflow — lessees get reminders, not you
  • Flight Circle and Flight Schedule Pro integration (coming soon)
  • AI Fleet Assistant — ask your fleet questions in plain English

The Third Option

You don't need enterprise software.
You need purpose-built software.

Until now, aviation lessors had two choices: keep fighting Excel, or spend $100,000+ on enterprise LMS software built for banks — most of which can't even track a Hobbs meter. HobbsHQ is the third option.

Option What it does Why it falls short
Excel / Google Sheets What every lessor under 50 aircraft uses today — dozens of tabs tracking aircraft, leases, loans, reserves, Hobbs logs. Breaks at ~40 aircraft

No alerts. No automated calculations. Critical items fall through the cracks.
Enterprise LMS
IFS LeaseWorks, LeasePath, Odessa		 End-to-end lease origination, accounting, compliance. Built for banks and large finance companies. $5K–$10K/month

$100,000 onboarding. No Hobbs tracking. No TBO monitoring. Built for financial compliance, not aviation operations.
HobbsHQ Aviation-specific operations platform. Sits alongside your accounting system. Handles Hobbs, TBO, reserves, lease alerts, lessee compliance. Purpose-built

Priced for a 40-aircraft fleet. Runs alongside whatever you already use. Live in 2–4 weeks.

About

Built for aviation
by aviation.

HobbsHQ was built in partnership with an active aviation leasing operation managing 40+ trainer aircraft across the United States.

Every feature — from the $17.50-per-hour reserve formula to the 10th-of-the-month Hobbs deadline — was designed around how this business actually runs, not how software companies think it should run.

We speak Hobbs. We speak TBO. We speak the language of a fleet that has to fly to pay for itself.

FAQ

Questions operators ask
before scheduling a demo.

Do I have to replace my current accounting or LMS system?
No. HobbsHQ is designed to run alongside whatever you're using today. We focus on operations — Hobbs tracking, engine reserves, lease alerts, lessee compliance. Your existing accounting system keeps doing accounting.
How long does onboarding take?
Most lessors are live within 2–4 weeks. We handle data migration from your existing spreadsheets, set up your aircraft registry, and train your team. Enterprise LMS platforms take 6–12 months — we don't.
What if my flight schools don't use Flight Circle or Flight Schedule Pro?
HobbsHQ works whether your lessees use flight school software or not. If they do, we can automate Hobbs data collection. If they don't, we provide a simple lessee portal where they upload monthly readings themselves.
Is my data secure?
Yes. HobbsHQ runs on enterprise-grade infrastructure with role-based access control and full data encryption at rest and in transit. Each client's data is isolated in its own environment.
Can I see it before committing?
Absolutely. Book a 30-minute demo and we'll walk you through the full platform using real aviation leasing workflows. No sales pressure — just a working product.
What if I grow past 50 aircraft?
HobbsHQ scales beyond the Professional tier. We'll build a custom plan that fits your fleet size and integration needs. The platform was designed to grow with your operation.
