Intro to the Flights Module

This is a brief introduction to the Flights Module.


The Flights Module holds a record of all the flights that have been completed including information such as the flight type, date, times, route, crew, lessons, and much more. 


Remember, aircraft bookings in the Schedule module are not completed flights in the Flights module.  


There are several ways you can create a registered flight. 


You can manually add the flight in the Flights module or you can automatically create flights using the following methods:


1. Private-Radar's Aircraft Tracking System will automatically create a flight. The Flight-Tracker will synchronize with any information that is already registered in the aircraft booking, such as the crew and lesson, and record the flight along with the precise times (start, taxi, take-off, landing, stop) when the flight is finished. 


2. You can automatically create a flight by converting an aircraft booking into a flight for aircraft without a Flight-Tracker. Go to Settings>Schedule> ”Create flights automatically from the schedule for aircraft without Flight-Tracker”.


3.You can manually check-in an aircraft booking that was previously created in the Schedule Module, either from the Schedule Module or the Home Page, in the “My bookings” card. 


Any flight information can be modified by editing the flight.


There are many functionalities in the Flights Module that you can use to keep track of all the information you need to register for each flight. Let me show you. 


1. Click on the plus/add button on the bottom right-hand side of the page, by clicking this, you can manually add a new flight.


You can also select an existing flight and perform many different tasks.


FLIGHTS MODULE FUNCTIONALITIES: (1:52)


1. Edit the flight. Change or add information.


2. Evaluate the flight, fill in the global evaluation and grade the lessons. If you can’t access the evaluation, make sure the flight includes all the crew members and a lesson has been selected. 


3. View the evaluation with all the grades after the lesson has been evaluated.


4. Print the flight. Download the flight session sheet with the list of lessons and exercises, the grades, the flight information, and the map if you are subscribed to our Aircraft Tracking System.


5. View the map. If you are subscribed to our Aircraft Tracking System and the aircraft is equipped with a flight tracker, you can review the flight with the complete track including the speed, altitude, and elevation.


6. Export the map to Google Earth.


7. Divide the flight into two separate flights with the exact same flight information. You can select the precise time that the flight splits. 


8. Copy the flight to create a new one with the same information.


9. Delete the flight.


10. Generate an invoice for the flight.


11. View the footprints. This is a record of all the modifications that have been done and by which user.
