Yes,
GFO Scheduling is basically an electronic booking sheet.
Students/pilots phone numbers (or any other information)
are easily accessed by double-clicking the booking. GFO is also real-time, bookings made (or deleted) from one PC
(or the internet) will immediately be
propagated to all workstations. We also offer ProBook
OnLine (the internet component of GFO) which
allows users (students, members or instructors) to view
and make (or delete) bookings over the internet, all in
real-time.
GFO
is incredibly flexible. Booking sheet hours & dates,
time slot resolution (15 mins, 30 or 1 hour), contents
(instructor & aircraft), booking options (solo, private
training, IFR training etc.), booking protocol (if
booking requests over the internet are restricted or not),
equipment and services etc.
No, you can install both GFO Server and WorkStation on
the same PC. If you do however have a LAN network you can
take advantage of GFO's real-time capabilities (ie. ability to make (or delete)
bookings from any PC within your establishment).
