Nathan James and Mike Ruby founded Smart to fix a broken system. Flight schools were drowning in paper-based records, nothing was connected, compliance was a headache, and reconciling mismatched records made life a nightmare. Their vision was simple - one source of truth, streamlined operations, and an end to human error in aviation.
We’re a small team with a big passion for aviation. From all corners of the globe, we’ve come together with one mission - to make flight operations simple for everyone.
