Finance & billing
Every flight lands on the invoice.
A flight closes out and its charges (aircraft time, instructor, landing fee) post straight to the right account, so billing is a by-product of flying, not a monthly reconstruction.

- Instructor · Capt. Reid1.5 hr£67.50
- Landing fee£12.00
A lesson is closed out for L. Novak. Its charges are itemised from the flight (aircraft time, instructor time and a landing fee), totalled and posted to the student’s account, and the account balance updates to reflect the charge.
Charged from what flew.
Aircraft time on your basis (block, airborne, Hobbs or tach) plus instructor time and any landing or membership fees, priced from the rate that applies, so the charge matches the flight rather than an estimate typed in later.
Posted to the right account.
The charge lands on the student’s or member’s account the moment the flight is closed out, with prepayments, balances and any credit limit respected, not queued for someone to enter at the end of the month.
Balances that mean something.
A live balance the desk can see before dispatch, so a lesson isn’t flown on an account that can’t cover it, and a top-up clears the hold there and then.
Reconciled, not re-keyed.
Invoices, receipts and statements come from the same flights the schedule and the training record use, so finance, operations and training never disagree about what happened.

The cost
The billing is a month you spend reconstructing.
Most schools fly all month and bill at the end, reassembling who flew what from tacho sheets, sticky notes and memory, and living with the disputes that follow. FlyerOS posts the charge as the flight closes, so the invoice is already right when the month ends.
