Built in America, by pilots, for pilots
Running a flying club,
made easy.

Everything your club runs on
One app for the whole operation.
From the moment a member applies to the moment they return the keys, Wingmint handles it. No modules, no add-ons — every club gets the whole thing.
Member onboarding
Online application, document upload, payment capture. No more paper forms or chasing mailed checks.
Aircraft scheduling
Two-tap booking. Daily column calendar that maps to how pilots think. Find a Time surfaces the soonest open slots.
Keycafe key exchange
Time-windowed SmartBox access tied to your reservation. The end of the lockbox combo.
Flight logging
Hobbs and tach in under 60 seconds. Squawk reporting with photos. Goodbye paper binder.
Billing & statements
Monthly statements generated automatically, dues pulled from member bank accounts by ACH.
TSA FTSP compliance
49 CFR 1552 baked into onboarding and booking. Non-citizens can’t book until TSA approves them. No paper, no spreadsheets, no surprises.
One system
Built so the next volunteer can run it.
Most clubs run on a scheduler, a spreadsheet, QuickBooks, and a whiteboard in the hangar. Wingmint puts the schedule, the Hobbs, the squawks, and the dues in one place — one a volunteer can hand to the next volunteer.
QuickBooks is just your accounting.
Dues and charges flow out of Wingmint as clean monthly statements and exports — no spreadsheet in the middle.
Keycafe is just the keybox.
Who can take which key comes from Wingmint. No booking, no key — and when the key comes back, Wingmint asks for the Hobbs.
Your data is yours.
Export members, hours, and flights to ForeFlight, MyFlightbook, and LogTen any time. On day one, not on the way out.

Comparison limited to US flying-club platforms. Verified against competitor documentation as of April 2026.
Built for the 200-member, four-aircraft, self-managed club — the ones still running on tools designed for flight schools, paper binders, and mailed checks.
If that's your club, Wingmint is the product you should have had ten years ago.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Straight answers to the questions club treasurers, chief pilots, and members ask most before switching.
- What is Wingmint?
- Wingmint is flying club management software for small, self-managed US flying clubs. It handles online member onboarding with document upload, aircraft reservations on a per-resource Google-Calendar-grade schedule, Keycafe SmartBox key exchange, Hobbs and tach flight logging, ACH member billing, and TSA FTSP compliance enforcement in a single app.
- How much does Wingmint cost?
- Wingmint is $9 per aircraft per month. A typical 4-aircraft club pays $36/mo for the platform — the whole bill if dues are collected outside the software, the way most clubs operate today. For context, a typical 4-aircraft club (~200 members, 4 Cessna 172s) pays about $2,000/yr to Flight Schedule Pro for the same platform-only setup; Wingmint is roughly 78% less. Optional ACH member billing is pass-through at 0.92% capped at $5.75 per transaction — the lowest rate in the category.
- How is Wingmint different from Flight Schedule Pro, FlightCircle, and Schedule Master?
- Wingmint is the only flying-club platform with $9/aircraft transparent pricing, Google-Calendar-grade scheduling, TSA FTSP candidate vetting baked into booking enforcement, Keycafe integration, and an API on every plan. FlightCircle is $10 per aircraft but uses Fiserv ACH at 1.09-2.89% with a paid API add-on; Schedule Master has a 2002-era UI; Flight Schedule Pro charges ~$42/aircraft with Payrix processing at 1% capped at $100.
- Does Wingmint handle TSA FTSP compliance?
- Yes. Wingmint enforces the TSA Flight Training Security Program codified at 49 CFR 1552 Subpart A. US citizens upload a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization certificate and a club admin verifies it before approval. Non-US-citizen and lawful permanent resident members must complete the TSA FTSP and upload their Determination of Eligibility — booking is blocked until TSA approval is on file.
- Which payment methods does Wingmint support?
- Automatic member payments use Stripe ACH. Clubs can also offer monthly statements paid by check. Neither adds a fee to the member; ACH processing is billed to the club at 0.92% capped at $5.75 per transaction.
- Does Wingmint integrate with Keycafe for aircraft key exchange?
- Yes. When a reservation window opens, Wingmint grants the member access to the aircraft key via a Keycafe SmartBox from one hour before the reservation starts through the reservation end. Key returns are unrestricted. Real-time webhooks record pickup and return events against the booking. Wingmint is the only flying-club platform that integrates with Keycafe as of April 2026.
- Does Wingmint have an API?
- Yes. Every plan includes access to the public REST API, with first-class export hooks for ForeFlight, MyFlightbook, and LogTen Pro. Member flight history is yours — no walled garden, no partnership-gated integrations.
- Is Wingmint built for flight schools or flying clubs?
- Flying clubs first. Wingmint is optimized for small, self-managed US flying clubs of roughly 50 to 300 members operating 2 to 10 aircraft under FAA Part 91. It works well for flight schools that operate as clubs and need FTSP compliance at booking time, but it is not designed for large Part 141 academies or scheduled Part 121/135 operators.
- How long does it take to get a club onto Wingmint?
- A club can be live in an afternoon. Wingmint imports your member roster from a CSV, and we set up aircraft and dues with you; Stripe onboarding takes minutes; Keycafe SmartBox mapping is a one-time admin task. There is no setup fee and no minimum commitment.
- Is Wingmint built in the United States?
- Yes. Wingmint is built, hosted (Vercel US region), and supported in the United States by American pilots. We serve US flying clubs operating under FAA rules. TSA FTSP compliance is first-class because every US training provider needs it.
