“Can the dominant flight-school operating system become the embedded financial and career layer for every new pilot's journey?”
Pilotbase is the rebrand of the team behind Flight Schedule Pro (flight school ops software) and LogTen (pilot logbook), consolidated under Keyes Technology, LLC. The 2026 relaunch unifies previously separate products into one 'Pilot Experience Platform' for flight schools and pilots, adding embedded financing (via Edly) and AI-enabled analytics on top of the existing scheduling/billing/safety stack. The embedded-finance angle is pilot training financing — turning a $100k+ cost barrier into a point-of-enrollment IBR loan offer across its 1,400+ flight school network.
Pilotbase's lending and capital products are provided by Edly.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 2 layers in Pilotbase's stack: Payments / PSP (Stripe and ProPay); Lending (Edly, Edly income-based repayment flight training loans (exclusive via Pilotbase) and Progress-based financing).
Pilotbase is headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, USA.
