Pilot Roster Management Software That Actually Works in Aviation
One searchable roster for every bench pilot — qualifications, currency, availability, and contact details — ready the moment a trip comes in.
The problem
Your pilot roster is scattered across three apps and your memory
Phone contacts. A WhatsApp group. A Google Sheet from last year. That is not a roster — it is a liability.
A phone contact with "Cap - G550" in the notes is not pilot roster management. You cannot search it, filter it, or trust it when a trip comes in at 6am.
Type ratings lapse. Medicals expire. Without software tracking this, you only find out when you go to assign someone — at the worst possible moment.
Without a system, you call who you remember. Reliable pilots further down your mental list never hear from you. Good people leave your bench.
The solution
A structured roster your whole team can rely on
CrewBench gives you a searchable, filterable pilot database — with qualifications, availability, and response history built in.
How Shino Aviation staffs a 20-aircraft, five-type fleet
Shino runs Part 135 charter and Part 91 private trips from one bench roster. One staffing call once took its CEO two hours of phone calls. Now he usually has a pilot confirmed within 10 to 15 minutes.
Read the Shino Aviation case study“The filtering is what I kept coming back to. I don’t need to remember who’s current on what anymore. I just filter by type, and the list is right there.”
