The diary

Members book the diary themselves.

One live diary for every aircraft, instructor and room. Members search availability and book from the pilot portal on any device, and conflicting bookings are refused.

  • Multiple aircraft and rooms on the same diary
  • Confirmations and reminders before every flight
  • Calendar feeds into Google, Apple and Outlook
  • Recurring schedules set your operating hours once

Holds, grounding and display boards.

Hold it on the diary

Hold an aircraft for maintenance or an instructor for illness.

Grounding

Ground every aircraft, or an instructor for the full day. Cancel for weather or a technical issue and the aircraft or instructor is held for everyone.

Boards for the ops room

Live display boards run on signed links and refresh themselves.

No-shows are recorded

Check-in, late and no-show are tracked on every booking.

Instructors

Book an instructor alongside the aircraft.

Instructors are bookable in Scheduling, for checkouts and the odd dual hour. They set their own availability, see their bookings and flight history, and subscribe to their week in their own calendar.

  • Instructor availability on the same diary as the fleet
  • Held for the day when they are off sick
  • A calendar feed of their own bookings
Instructors on Scheduling

Core does not tie a student to an instructor.

Any member can book any instructor who is free, including one who is not theirs. For a club with a couple of instructors doing checkouts, that is usually fine.

If you run courses and need each student booked with their own instructor, Operations matches students to their instructors through courses.
