FlightLadder vs. SkyOps Registry.
FlightLadder and SkyOps Registry both start from the same public FAA Part 135 certificate data. Where they go from there is different.
| SkyOps Registry | FlightLadder | |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | FAA Part 135 certificate roster | Same FAA Part 135 certificate roster, refreshed monthly |
| Focus | Operator and fleet intelligence, verification links | Pilot career search built on top of the same operator data |
| Hiring signal | Not offered | Weekly hiring-flag checks and a ranked hiring-now feed |
| Individual job postings | Not offered | Weekly-crawled postings from each operator's own careers page |
| Pilot profile / qualification match | Not offered | 14 CFR 135.243 analysis against your logbook, free |
| Cost | Not publicly disclosed | Free to browse; Pro is $9/mo or $79/yr |
SkyOps Registry looks like a useful operator-intelligence tool. FlightLadder is built specifically to help a pilot find and qualify for their next seat.
