Sky Duty is aviation operations management software designed for flight departments, with a strong focus on iPhone and iPad use cases. It covers scheduling, digital logs, maintenance, expenses, invoicing, fleet management, and crew collaboration. Its target users include Part 91 operators, charter companies, general aviation pilots, and flight schools. The product is positioned not as an electronic flight bag or a personal career logbook, but as a mobile app that centralizes the full flight operations workflow.
Scheduling is built around a Gantt chart, allowing users to view aircraft rows and mission bars by day, 3-day period, or week. It supports multi-leg trips, mission numbers, conflict detection, and ICS calendar subscriptions. The log module supports custom templates, auto-fill from schedules, and PDF/CSV export. The expense module can scan receipts from photos and automatically extract the merchant, amount, and date; it supports more than 20 currencies and groups expenses by trip. The maintenance module includes squawk reports, inspection countdowns by date/hours/cycles, maintenance history, and FAA certificate expiration information. The fleet module can quickly create aircraft profiles using 308,000+ FAA registration records, while managing Hobbs/tach times, home airport, and aircraft type information.
Pricing is straightforward: Sky Duty Pro costs $39/month/aircraft, with all features included and unlimited users. Each additional aircraft is priced the same. Operators with 10 or more aircraft can contact sales for volume pricing, and annual billing includes a discount. A 14-day free trial is available in the app, and there are also web-based E6B calculator and FAA tail number lookup tools that do not require an account. The materials mention both Apple ID billing and Stripe payment processing, so the actual payment flow may depend on where the subscription is started.
For collaboration, Sky Duty supports roles such as Owner, Admin, Pilot, Mechanic, and Dispatcher. It can assign PIC/SIC and mentions field-level as well as maintenance-related granular permissions. Deployment is via an iOS mobile app with an offline-first design: users can still create, view, and edit data without cellular service or hangar WiโFi, with automatic synchronization once back online. Security and compliance disclosures are limited: the company states that users retain ownership of their data, can export it, and that payments are securely processed by Stripe. There is no visible information on SOC 2, ISO 27001, encryption policies, or a public API.
Sky Dutyโs strengths are its close alignment with aviation workflows: expenses, logs, maintenance, and invoicing are all tied to trips, and per-aircraft pricing is often a better fit than per-seat pricing for flight departments with multiple participants. Its drawbacks are that it is only explicitly available for iPhone/iPad, has limited third-party accounting and developer integrations, and provides limited enterprise-grade compliance disclosure. It is best suited to small flight operations teams with 1โ10 aircraft that want to replace whiteboards, spreadsheets, and scattered apps.
Availability in mainland China, App Store download access, network stability, Chinese-language interface support, and local payment options are not disclosed, so these remain unknown for now. If domestic compliance, RMB payments, or local customer support are required, teams should also evaluate local general aviation management systems, or consider a combination of WeCom/DingTalk, spreadsheets, accounting software, and maintenance systems as an alternative.
