The problem

Managing crew across multiple jets is harder than it should be

Most private jet operators are one last-minute absence away from a scramble. The problem isn't finding pilots — it's finding the right pilot for the right aircraft at the right time.

✈️
Different jets, different type ratings

A Challenger 350 needs different qualifications than a Citation XLS. Without a system that links pilots to aircraft types, you're mentally cross-referencing two lists every time a trip comes in.

📋
No single view of crew currency

Type ratings expire. Medicals lapse. Sim recurrencies come due. You only find out a pilot's not current when you're about to assign them — and the trip leaves in four hours.

⏱️
Crew confirmation takes too long

Phone tag with four pilots just to confirm one trip is not a system — it's a liability. Every minute your crew is unconfirmed is a minute your client is waiting.

The solution

Aircraft-aware crew management, built for private jet operators

CrewBench connects your jets to your pilots — so when a trip comes in, you always know exactly who can fly it.

Type-rating filters per aircraft
Tag each bench pilot with their type ratings. When you post a trip on a specific aircraft, CrewBench automatically surfaces only the pilots qualified to fly it — no manual cross-checking.
Qualification tracking with expiry alerts
Store type ratings, medicals, and sim recurrencies for every pilot. CrewBench flags anyone whose currency is lapsing — before they end up on your shortlist for a trip they can't legally fly.
Instant SMS and email to qualified crew
Post a trip and every type-rated, current pilot on your bench gets an SMS and email in seconds — with a one-tap response link. No app download required for pilots who prefer not to install one.
Real-time dashboard and response tracking
See who's responded, who's confirmed, and who's still pending — live, as pilots reply. Confirm your crew with one click and close the trip. No follow-up calls needed.

Real operator stories

"We operate three different jets and keeping track of which pilots are current on each type was a constant headache. CrewBench solved it overnight — I post a trip, filter by aircraft, and I'm done. What used to take forty-five minutes now takes two."

FAQ

Common questions about private jet aircraft management

What is private jet aircraft management software? +
Private jet aircraft management software helps charter operators and flight departments manage the crew, qualifications, and trip assignments associated with their private jet fleet. A tool like CrewBench centralizes pilot profiles (including type ratings and medical currency), automates crew notifications, and tracks responses — so the right pilot is always matched to the right aircraft for every trip.
Can CrewBench filter pilots by aircraft type rating? +
Yes. Each bench pilot profile in CrewBench includes type rating information. When you post a trip request for a specific aircraft, you can filter notifications to only reach pilots who hold the relevant type rating — ensuring every pilot who receives an SMS or email is actually qualified to fly the trip.
How do pilots confirm their availability for a trip? +
Pilots can use the CrewBench iOS & Android app to manage their trips, schedule, and availability — this is the recommended experience. For pilots who prefer not to install an app, CrewBench also sends a one-tap magic link via SMS and email. No account or login is required to use the link. Either way, the operator sees the response instantly on their dashboard.
Does CrewBench track medical and type rating expiry dates? +
Yes. CrewBench pilot profiles include fields for medical class, medical expiry, type ratings, and sim recurrency dates. Pilots with lapsing or expired certifications are flagged in the roster, so you always know the currency status of your bench before you assign anyone to a trip.
Is CrewBench suitable for operators with multiple aircraft types? +
Absolutely. CrewBench is designed specifically for operators who run mixed fleets — different jets with different crew qualification requirements. The aircraft-filtering feature ensures you never send a trip notification to a pilot who isn't type-rated for that specific aircraft.
