Questions, answered plainly

Yes. Clients, aircraft, trips, rate cards, invoices, PDF, email delivery, reminders, A/R, exports and the owner approval link are free for pilots, with no card and no trial clock. Free for pilots. No card, no trial. Optional paid modules for operators may come later; the Terms explain how we give notice if plans change.

Independent contract pilots who bill more than one owner, operator or flight department: jet and turboprop PIC and SIC contractors first, but anyone who invoices for flying can use it. The owner side is for the people who receive those invoices.

An N-number is how an aircraft is identified. A 1099 is how a contractor is paid. If you have both in your life, this is for you.

No. There is no directory, no profiles to browse and no matching. Nobody can find you or your clients through n1099. There is no matching today. Any feature that shows your profile to operators is off by default and requires your explicit opt-in.

No. Two invoices a month is the median, not the minimum. One rate card, one client, and each trip is a minute of typing in the hotel. There is no monthly fee to justify, because there is no fee.

No. n1099 is a web app that works in any modern browser. On a phone, you can add it to your home screen and it behaves like a native app with its own icon.

No. Owners get a signed link that opens the invoice, lets them download the PDF, approve or dispute it, and mark it paid. They can create a free owner account later if they want a roster and consolidated invoices.

Keep them for the books. n1099 is the trip-to-invoice layer they do not have: rate cards per owner and aircraft, travel days, per diem, receipts on the trip, and an owner approval link. Export CSV into your bookkeeping whenever you like. If QuickBooks already gets you from trip to sent invoice in a minute from your phone, you do not need us.

They already click links to pay FBO bills and sign charter agreements. The link opens a plain page with the invoice and a PDF download, no login and no app. If an owner still prefers email, attach the same PDF and record the payment yourself when it lands.

No. We do not hold or move your money. You record payments as they arrive by ACH, check or whatever the owner uses, and n1099 keeps the ledger straight.

Your details, the client, the aircraft and route, the dates, every billable line (day rates, half days, travel days, standby, per diem, overnight allowances, hourly if that is your deal), reimbursable expenses with receipts, subtotals, balance due, your payment instructions and your terms. It is numbered, versioned and available as a PDF.

You choose the schedule (for example 3 days before due, on the due date, and 7 days after) and the tone. n1099 sends them as you via n1099, with replies going to your email and a link to the invoice. Every send is logged so you can see exactly what the owner received and when. You can pause or stop reminders per client or per invoice.

They can dispute it with a note from the invoice link. You see the reason, fix the invoice (a new revision is created, the old one is kept) and resend. The conversation is attached to the invoice, not lost in a text thread.

Yes. USD is the default. Set a currency on any client (EUR, GBP, CAD, CHF, AED and others) and every invoice and rate card for that client uses it. Addresses outside the US print with the country. Receivables are shown per currency, never added across them.

Never. An owner sees exactly the invoices you sent them and the trips you shared with them. Your other clients, rate cards, income and history are not visible to anyone but you.

You do. We store it to run the service for you. We do not sell it, share it with advertisers, or use it to build a directory.

Any time. CSV of trips, invoices and payments, PDFs of every invoice, and a one-click account deletion. No subscription required for any of it.

You would get notice and a window to export everything. Exports are plain CSV and PDF that any accountant or spreadsheet can read, so you are never locked in.

No. n1099 gives you a clean, exportable record of what you billed and what you collected per client per year, which is what your CPA actually wants. It does not file forms or give tax advice.

No. n1099 never represents that a pilot is current, type-rated, insured or available. Owners and pilots handle qualifications the way they do today.
