Check Out and Complete a Flight on iPhone

The iOS app is built for the ramp. You can check out a flight with the Hobbs and Tach out readings, then complete it with the readings in when you're back, without going inside to a computer. Staff can do this for any flight. Customers can do it for their own flights when their school gives them Can Complete Flights.

Check out a flight

1. Open the reservation from Schedule or Reservations.
2. If the reservation shows a Flight Checkout Form button with a count of finished items, tap it and fill in the form first. It shows a check mark when it's complete.
3. Tap Check Out.
4. Read anything flagged above the readings: inspections coming due, open squawks, missing documents, or an overdue inspection.
5. Tick each item on the Checkout List. Items marked Required must be ticked.
6. If your school requires a Checkout selfie for this activity type, tap Add Selfie and take the photo.
7. Check the Hobbs out and Tach out readings. Schools that track airtime also see Airtime out.
8. Tap Dispatch / Check out.

Checked it out by mistake? Open the reservation and tap Uncheck Out.

Complete the flight

1. Open the reservation and tap Complete Flight.
2. Under Meters in, enter Hobbs in and Tach in. The app shows the totals under the fields.
3. Under Billing hours, check Flight hours. It fills in from the Hobbs times, and changing it updates Hobbs in.
4. Enter Flight instruction and Ground instruction hours when the instructor's time is billed. Leave them blank on solo flights.
5. Enter Landings if your school asks for them.
6. Under Route, enter the departure airport and the next airport, such as KPTK.
7. Fill in any Additional fields your school added and tick the Complete Flight Checklist if there is one.
8. Add Notes if you need to, then tap Complete flight.

Sky Schedule updates the aircraft's Hobbs and Tach and saves the flight to the customer's history. If your school auto-drafts invoices, a draft is created for the office. Payment happens on the web or from the emailed invoice.

Report a squawk from the ramp

Found a problem during the flight?

1. Open the completed reservation and tap Add Squawk. The aircraft is already picked.
2. Enter an Issue title and a Detailed description.
3. Choose a Category, a Priority, and the Severity: Non-grounding or Grounding.
4. Add Discovered at Hobbs if you have it, and attach photos or video.
5. Tap Save.

If Maintenance is in your menu, you can also report a squawk any time: open the Squawks tab and tap +. See Log a Squawk.

Tips

• Keep the aircraft's current Hobbs and Tach right, so the out readings fill in correctly on the next flight.
• Instructors can log the lesson right after completing a training flight. See Log a Lesson and Grade Steps.

Troubleshooting

• Dispatch / Check out stays gray. A required checklist item isn't ticked, the checkout selfie is missing, or an overdue inspection is blocking check-out.
• "Complete the checkout form before checking out/in the flight." Tap the form button on the reservation and finish it.
• "Need to change times, hours, or route? Edit this flight on the web app." Customers can't edit it in the app. See Edit a Completed Flight.
• The readings show an error. Hobbs, Tach, and Airtime must be numbers of zero or more, such as 1234.5.
