About us
We Keep Small Aviation Flying, Not Filing.
SkyConnect puts booking, engine hours, maintenance, and billing in one system — so instructors instruct, clubs fly, and nobody spends Sunday night reconciling a clipboard against a bank statement.
Made with purpose. Built for the flight line.
Our Mission
General aviation runs on small operations — an independent CFI, a two-plane club, a school with a handful of trainers. They deserve software that understands a Hobbs meter, a squawk, and a 100-hour — not a generic scheduler with a coat of paint. SkyConnect keeps the fleet booked, the hours honest, and the money collected, so the flying stays the point.
What You Get
- A booking link that shows real, per-plane availability
- Tach & Hobbs collected by text and logged automatically
- Meter-hour billing that creates itself after the flight
- Squawks and grounding that actually hold the schedule
- Card and ACH payments from renters, without chasing
Our story
Why We Built SkyConnect
We're Garrett McDaniel and Gus Macdonald. We started by building scheduling and billing automation for service professionals — and kept hearing the same story from the airfield: bookings by group text, engine hours on paper, invoices whenever someone got around to them.
Small aviation didn't need another enterprise flight-school suite. It needed something an independent CFI or a flying club could set up in an afternoon, that their renters would actually use, and that treats Tach and Hobbs as first-class citizens. So we built it.

Our values
What Drives Us
Reliability
Aviation doesn't tolerate flaky systems. We design for dependability — from the booking to the reading to the bill.
Simplicity
The best tools get out of the way. SkyConnect is simple for you to run and even easier for your students to use.
Outcomes
We obsess over results: fuller schedules, hours that reconcile, and bills that go out the day the flight lands.
We'd Love to Hear From You
We're constantly improving SkyConnect with feedback from working CFIs and club officers. Suggestions, partnerships, or just saying hello — we're here.
