Scheduling around Ohio flying conditions
Lake Erie drives northern Ohio's winter clouds and snow, while the rest of the state sees classic Midwest seasons: icy winters, stormy springs, humid summers, clear falls. Ohio's mix of large academies and small-town schools means software has to serve a 141 curriculum and a two-airplane operation equally well.
Sky Schedule puts live METAR next to every reservation, lets students rebook from their phone inside the rules you set, and keeps the schedule, the invoice, and the training record in sync when the plan changes. A cancelled 7 AM slot at KOSU shows up as open availability for the next student instantly, not after someone updates a spreadsheet.
