MyFBO served flight schools and flying clubs for a long time. It shut down on August 31, 2026. If your school ran on it, the practical question is simple: where do scheduling, dispatch, and pilot currency live now? This post lays out what changed and how to move, without drama.

What the shutdown means for your school

You need another system to book aircraft, dispatch flights, and track pilot currency. The day-to-day work of a flight school does not stop, so the goal is a clean handoff with your records intact. If you exported your data before the shutdown, that export is all our team needs to move you.

The key thing to understand is that the shutdown affected three separate jobs your old system did for you every day. Each one needs a new home, and ideally the same new home so they keep working together. Those three jobs are scheduling, dispatch, and currency tracking.

The three things to protect

As you plan, keep three things front of mind:

  • Your people and accounts. Your pilots, instructors, customers, and account numbers should move across so nothing is re-keyed from scratch.
  • Your schedule. Pilots and instructors need to keep booking without a gap, including the self-service bookings your members are used to making on their own.
  • Your currency tracking. Medicals, flight reviews, and aircraft checkouts have to keep being watched so no one flies out of currency.

If you write down those three buckets and confirm where each one lands after the move, you have covered the hard part of the planning. Everything else is scheduling and configuration.

Why an overlap still matters

Even without a deadline, the worst way to switch systems is all at once on a busy week. Give yourself a short overlap: get the new system configured and tested while your old records are still to hand, then switch over in a quiet period.

A modern path forward

ScheduleFlight by FBO Director is built for exactly this moment. It is the flight-school scheduling, dispatch, and pilot-currency add-on to FBO Director, with a day, week, and month scheduling board, conflict detection, self-service booking for pilots and instructors, and currency checked at the moment of booking. It is a responsive web app that runs in any browser, with a native Android app available and iOS in development.

Because it shares one customer record with FBO Director, your scheduling and your billing stay connected instead of living in two disconnected tools. If you want to see how the replacement maps to what MyFBO did for you, see your migration options - it walks through the features side by side and explains how the assisted move works.

Migration is assisted. Our team moves your pilots, instructors, customers, and account numbers for you, so you are not figuring out an import on your own. ScheduleFlight requires an active FBO Director subscription and is $249/month as an add-on, monthly, cancel any time, with a 14-day free trial.

How to start planning today

You do not need a project plan to get moving. Three short steps cover it:

  • List what you kept in MyFBO: your roster, instructors, customers, accounts, aircraft, and your reservation history.
  • Pick a target move date and a short overlap window so nothing is rushed.
  • Decide who on your staff will help test the new system during a short overlap period.

For a deeper walkthrough of the actual move, see our step-by-step guide to migrating off MyFBO, which breaks the process into a data inventory, a booked migration, a configuration pass, and a short parallel period.

Frequently asked questions

Did MyFBO really shut down?

Yes. MyFBO shut down on August 31, 2026. You need another system for scheduling, dispatch, and currency tracking.

What should I do first?

Confirm what records you have from your MyFBO export, pick a migration timeline, and decide who on your staff will help test during a short overlap.

What can I replace MyFBO with?

Flight schools moving off MyFBO use FBO Director plus the ScheduleFlight add-on for scheduling, dispatch, and pilot-currency tracking, with assisted migration included.

Can I still move my data over?

Yes, if you have an export. With assisted migration, our team moves your pilots, instructors, customers, and account numbers for you, so your records carry over to the new system.
