Modern Operations Built Specifically for Soaring Clubs
Run a free trial in parallel with your existing club tools and experience automated rostering, glider bookings, live airfield status, member accounting ledgers, and built-in GDPR compliance.
Integrated Booking Modules
Gliding clubs operate differently from typical sports clubs or commercial flying schools. GlidingOps offers an extensive array of operational modules handling roster management, club glider bookings, flight tracking, and workshop allocation.
AM / PM Dual-Control Training Grid
Built specifically for dual two-seaters (K21, Perkoz, Puchacz). Members book discrete morning (08:45–13:30) or afternoon (13:30–sunset) sessions with their allocated duty instructor.
- 2-Minute Race-Free Hold Timer: Prevents booking collisions when multiple members open slots at 19:00 booking releases.
- Goal Taxonomy: Members specify their syllabus goal (Pre-Solo, Bronze Cross-Country, Annual Check, Aerobatics).
- Office Override & Priority: Staff can reserve slots for trial vouchers or course weeks.
Scarcity-First Automated Roster Scheduling
Volunteer operations run smoothly only when the roster is fair, transparent, and respects volunteer availability. GlidingOps replaces manual spreadsheet headaches with algorithmic draft generation and a peer-to-peer swap board.
Scarcity-First Allocation
Prioritises critical qualifications (Tug Pilots, Winch Drivers, Duty Instructors) before filling general roles (Launchpoint Assistant, Wing Runners). Prevents operational bottlenecks before the flying day begins.
Symmetric Exclusions & Privacy
Respects member date exclusions and strictly private "Never-roster-with" pairs. The algorithm guarantees conflicting members are never assigned to the same operational duty line while maintaining complete discretion.
Suggest-Then-Edit Workflow
The rostering team retains full human control. Algorithms produce draft schedules that managers can tweak, swap, and review before publishing to the club with 1-click notification broadcasts.
1-Tap Duty Swap Exchange
Can't make your allocated weekend? Post directly to the in-app swap board. Qualified peers receive alerts and can claim your duty slot in a single tap without requiring office intervention.
Total Control for Club Admins & Managers
Every gliding club has unique airfield rules, gate codes, local frequencies, and pricing schemes. GlidingOps gives your committee, CFI, and office managers complete in-app customization without needing software engineers.
Custom Information Tiles & Resource Links
Build custom quick-links and informational cards for anything: airfield gate PINs, WhatsApp community groups, RASP weather feeds, simulator booking links, or committee minutes.
Live News & Operations Announcements
Publish task briefings, expedition updates, and airfield notices with rich formatting, hero photos, author attribution, and pinned broadcast alerts.
Airfield Telemetry & Navigation Setup
Update your club's ICAO, active runways, AirBand radio frequency, elevation, directions note, and What3Words entrance links with 1 click.
3-Tier Access Governance (`member`, `manager`, `admin`)
Role-based security protects sensitive committee matters and financial ledger reconciliations while giving rostering managers the autonomy they need to run operations.
Club Management Suite
Club managers can configure all airfield parameters, tiles, and news dispatches live.
