Why the detail matters
These are the details Go/No-Go reads when one of your pilots plans a flight, and the details that decide whether a booking is allowed. An aircraft flagged accurately protects everyone.
One record, shared
Your pilots use your aircraft record rather than typing their own copy. That keeps their hours in type accurate and means a correction you make is a correction for everyone.
Maintenance
Marking an aircraft down blocks new bookings for the period and shows on the schedule, so nobody is dispatched into an aeroplane that isn't available.
Removing an aircraft
Removing an aeroplane from your fleet keeps every flight and reservation already recorded in it. History is preserved, not deleted.
