Like many airplane partnerships, we've wished we had a simple, web-based
system to schedule the plane, that everyone (four partners) can log onto and
which will keep a central calendar for us. We had looked at a commercial
"flying club scheduler" that would do everything we wanted, but it cost
money. (OK, not a lot, but we try and keep our $'s for airworthiness
stuff.) Today I found this: https://www.huntcal.com/

They provide a free service to create group-access calendars, which can
easily be used to schedule an airplane. We've put our schedule up on a
calender and defined the "group" as the four partners, each with a separate
User ID and Password. Each partner can book the plane by logging on and
entering a date and time. We've set it up so only the partners can access
the calender, and only the one making a reservation can change their
reservation. There are lots of options, but this seems to work for us. As
long as you don't want a "custom" calendar, there is no charge. We've only
starting to use it, but I think it will work very well, and the price is
right.

I have no interest in this company, except that I'm really excited to find
it, and suspect that that the site could solve a lot of problems for the
many clubs and partnerships that participate in these groups. The only
downside I've found is that only "custom" calendars can be set up to send an
e-mail any time someone makes a reservation or change. That would have been
nice, but I think this will still work well without it.


We sue www.calnet.com the same way. It is free as well.
