Flight Scheduling & Dispatch
Software for Aviation Operations

Hilo is designed as a central operating system that understands the full aviation operation as one connected whole.

Training demand

For years, aviation has tried to solve fragmentation by adding more tools. Better schedulers. Smarter spreadsheets. New point solutions layered on top of old ones.

Operational reality

WHERE SCHEDULING BECOMES THE PRESSURE POINT

Scheduling is where aviation operations feel strain first. Training schedules, aircraft readiness, instructor availability, maintenance exposure, and safety constraints converge into a narrow set of decisions that must be made continuously.

When these domains are managed in isolation, scheduling absorbs the uncertainty. Decisions are made without full awareness of downstream impact, and the schedule becomes a buffer for complexity it cannot fully see.

This is not a failure of people or process. It is the predictable outcome of fragmented operational systems.

ATOS / Scheduling & Dispatch

Scheduling as a System, Not a Calendar

Most flight scheduling software is built to manage time. Calendars, booking grids, and availability views answer a narrow question: What appears open right now?
In aviation, that framing breaks down quickly.

Readiness drives reality

Whether a flight should be scheduled, released,
or changed depends on readiness — not time alone.

Readiness drives reality

  • Training progression and syllabus requirements
  • Aircraft condition and maintenance status
  • Instructor and pilot qualifications

Scheduling is coordination

At this level, scheduling is not an administrative task.
It is a coordination problem across the entire operation.

Readiness drives reality

  • Conflicts surface late
  • Aircraft dispatch decisions become reactive
  • Reconciliation happens under pressure
Support

Support Without Surrendering Control

In aviation, authority and accountability cannot be automated. Scheduling and aircraft dispatch decisions carry operational, safety, and compliance responsibility that ultimately rests with people.
Within ATOS, Scheduling and Dispatch are designed to support human judgment, not replace it.
The system:
  • Surfaces conflicts and constraints
  • Highlights emerging operational risk
  • Provides recommendations with context
Scheduling & Dispatch

What the Scheduling & Dispatch System Understands

Effective aviation scheduling depends on understanding how operational states interact, not evaluating them one at a time.

Modern aviation

Within ATOS, Scheduling and Dispatch

  • Training progression and student readiness
  • Aircraft condition and maintenance exposure
  • Instructor and pilot qualifications
  • Operational and environmental context
signals

These signals do not change independently:

  • Training delays affect instructor utilization
  • Maintenance thresholds alter aircraft availability
  • Maintenance thresholds alter aircraft availability
  • Operational conditions can shift risk without changing the schedule itself
