Book or Request a Flight on iPhone

You can book flights from the Sky Schedule app on iPhone or iPad the same way you do on the web. Staff can book for anyone. Customers can book their own flights when their school gives them Can Create Reservations, or send a Find a Time request when the school approves bookings instead.

Book a flight

1. Open the app, tap the menu button, and choose Schedule.
2. Tap New Reservation.
3. Pick the Activity type, such as a dual flight or a discovery flight. The form shows only the fields that type needs.
4. Set the Start date, Start time, End date, and End time.
5. Pick the Instructor, the Customer, and the Aircraft. If you can only book for yourself, you're filled in as the customer.
6. If your school requires it, choose VFR or IFR under Flight rules.
7. Add any Comments for the instructor or front desk.
8. Tap Create reservation.

The flight shows on the schedule right away. If your school sends reservation emails, the customer and instructor get one.

Some activity types put two people in a seat. The form then shows Instructor 1 (main) and Instructor 2 (billed), or Customer 1 (main) and Customer 2 (billed).

Book a recurring lesson

If your school allows recurring bookings, the form has a Recurring reservation switch.

1. Turn on Recurring reservation.
2. Under Repeat, choose how often, and pick the days under Repeat on for a weekly lesson.
3. Under Ends, choose On date or After occurrences and fill in the date or the number.
4. Tap Create reservation.

To cancel one lesson in the series later, open it and cancel that day only. See Book Recurring Reservations.

Request a time with Find a Time

When your school turns on Find a Time, customers see a Find a Time button next to New Reservation on the Schedule.

1. Tap Find a Time.
2. Fill in the activity type, the time you want, and any instructor or aircraft preference.
3. Tap Submit Request.

The request waits for staff. Staff see it in Reservations and swipe left on it to Approve or Deny. See Approve Find a Time Requests.

Conflicts and warnings

The form checks your booking as you go and shows a banner when something is off:

• The aircraft, instructor, or customer is already booked at that time.
• The aircraft has an overdue inspection and your school blocks booking it.
• The customer's balance is under your school's minimum to book. Admins can override this one.
• The customer is missing a document or endorsement this activity type needs. Upload it in Documents to clear it.

Troubleshooting

• There's no New Reservation button. Your account doesn't have Can Create Reservations. Use Find a Time if you see it, or ask your school.
• The aircraft you want isn't in the list. It may be unavailable or grounded. Check with the front desk.
• You need to change a booking. Open it from the Schedule and tap Edit Reservation. See Cancel or Reschedule a Reservation.
