Flight School Schedule  |  Flight School Register Student

Sierra Aviation now has digital scheduling. Once approved to use the online scheduling, students and renters will be able to access and view the schedule from their home computer or personal electronic device(s). 

Students and Renters may use the online scheduling system to schedule, edit and cancel (delete) flights. Any/all deleted flights must be accompanied by a reason (this is explained below under “EDIT/DELETE A RESERVATION”.

Please keep in mind that we have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you need to cancel your flight, please give us 24 hours notice or you will be billed for 1-hour of the instructor's time. 

Reservations that need to be made within 12 hours of the flight time, must go through your instructor or the administration computer (via a phone call to the school). 

To schedule flights during your instructor’s usual day/time(s) off, please contact your instructor directly. If you are unsure of instructor availability, ask them.

When you initially register, please give us 24 hours to activate your association.

If you want to come into the school to set up your account, just let us know!

Click on “SCHEDULE OPTIONS”

If an instructor or aircraft is already booked, the time block will show up as “RESERVED” on the schedule. This means the instructor and/or aircraft are unavailable.

 

If an instructor is scheduled WITH YOU (once you’re registered as a user) your scheduled time will show up YELLOW on the schedule. 

If you are RENTING the aircraft (either as a solo student or renter through Sierra Aviation) the block will show up at light blue.

If the block is filled in with a darker grey, these are the instructor’s non-working hours. Any flights desired during these hours must be scheduled by the instructor or administrator. Instructors may mark themselves off for longer periods of time, but they will only show up as ‘RESERVED” and not the darker grey. If you are unsure about an instructor’s availability, ask them.

MAKE A RESERVATION for INSTRUCTION:

First, click on one of the available blocks in the schedule.

 

A separate window will open. In that window, where it says “Reservation Type” use the dropdown menu to select

“INSTRUCTION” for lessons with your instructor or “RENTAL” for solo’s or renting the aircraft.

 

The next selection should be the aircraft. If you accidentally selected the wrong one, you can easily adjust it here. If you are meeting for ground training or are flying in your own aircraft with your instructor, select “NO AIRCRAFT/RESOURCE.”

Next, select your instructor, or select “NO INSTRUCTION” if you are going solo.

 

On the bottom right of this window, you’ll see a Date and Time Start selection area. On the bottom left you will see a Date and Time End selection area.

These are where you can adjust the start and end time for your block. The system automatically blocks for 3-hour intervals. So please do not hesitate to adjust this for more or less time, as needed for your lesson or rental.

 

 

 

 

Once you have everything set, click on the “RESERVE THIS FLIGHT” button.

If the aircraft or the instructor are not available, you will get this type of message:

If you want to make a Recurring Reservation, start by clicking this button ---

Then follow the prompts.

 

 

To make a reservation for a RENTAL, the only difference between INSTRUCTION and RENTAL is that you do not need to select and instructor.
