Demo Flight Academy · next 60 days from Oct 18, 2026 · weather at KHOU
Every scheduler can show hours until the next 100-hour. They assume every booking flies, so the date is early and the fleet-wide picture is missing. FlightPath Intelligence counts the bookings that won't actually fly and shows when several aircraft are likely to be in the shop at once, in time to stagger them.
Bars: expected aircraft down (FPI). Ticks: what a reservations-only projection shows. Red band: chance of 2+ aircraft down together.
DEMO-1, DEMO-3, DEMO-4 are projected in the shop in the same window. Students lose bookings and the shop stacks up work: the revenue gap and the overtime arrive together.
DEMO-2, DEMO-5 are projected in the shop in the same window. Students lose bookings and the shop stacks up work: the revenue gap and the overtime arrive together.

Share of booked hours, next 3 weeks. Students book favorites first, so those time out first, and together.
DEMO-1 and DEMO-2 carry 47% of the flying. When a favorite goes down, its students move to the sister ships, which pulls their inspections forward too. That chain reaction is how a school ends up with several aircraft down in the same week.
Next hours-based inspection: what the schedule alone says vs. FlightPath Intelligence's likely date and range.

Days the forecast already takes the most flying away
Pulling an inspection onto a day the weather was going to scrub anyway costs the least revenue.

Past the three weeks already booked, each aircraft keeps its current booking rate, scaled by how often this airport's weather lets lessons fly on that date. An annual counts as the 100-hour (91.409(b)). Scheduling impact only; the logbooks and your mechanic remain the record for airworthiness.
