Pilot Training Industry Leadership Interviews - Jens Rahbek - Oscar Yankee

Interested to hear from pilot training industry leaders on how they see the industry?

In this week’s AFM Pilot Training Leadership Interview Series AFM’s Customer Success & Business Development Manager Agata Marszalek speaks with Jens Rahbek - the Customer Success Manager at Oscar Yankee . Oscar Yankee is a Danish FMS Provider that brings modern usable software to the General Aviation industry and flight training organisations so that pilots and aviation professionals can focus on what they love the most - flying.

The conversation covers:

• Background & Growth: Oscar Yankee was founded in 2017 to provide simple booking and management software for flying clubs, now offering a full-fledged pilot training management platform. Oscar Yankee has steadily grown and it now includes tools for managing flight training programs, handling complex compliance requirements, and integrating additional products like TrueTrack for tracking real-time flight data.
• Recent Developments: Over recent months, Oscar Yankee has accelerated its growth by engaging a dedicated team of developers to enhance its web application and continuously improve the product based on client feedback. Oscar Yankee has been focusing on core features, particularly for compliance with European regulations, helping flight schools manage their training, flight time limitations, and safety requirements.
• Industry Trends: According to Jens, digitalization and the integration of AI are key trends in pilot training. Pilot training organizations, which have historically relied on paper-based processes, are now adopting digital solutions to streamline training and operations. Digital tools offer better integration, data management, and compliance tracking, enabling flight schools to reduce administrative burdens and focus more on the quality of training. Oscar Yankee is continuously working on simplifying processes, such as maintenance scheduling and compliance, by leveraging the latest technologies.
• Challenges in Flight Training: Compliance is a major challenge for flight schools. Regulations, especially in Europe, are strict and require detailed documentation to ensure schools adhere to safety standards. Oscar Yankee's software helps automate the compliance process, ensuring that all required documentation, training logs, and safety reports are digitally stored and easily accessible. Instructors no longer have to chase down signatures or ensure grading and comments are completed on time. Oscar Yankee's software helps flight schools focus on training rather than administration.
• Major Benefits: Oscar Yankee stands out as a top choice for flight schools due to its user-friendly, compliance-focused software designed to meet European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations. It offers an affordable, scalable solution that automates administrative tasks, enhances safety management, and provides real-time flight data through its integrated TrueTrack system. With customizable features and a straightforward interface, Oscar Yankee allows schools to streamline operations while maintaining high safety standards.
