The Flight register module is the aerodrome movement register. It provides a centralised record of all movements at the airfield, including flight departures, flight arrivals, airfield openings, airfield closings, and other operational status actions.
The register receives movement data automatically from the Pilot App when pilots complete their normal departure and arrival flows. Staff can also add entries manually when a movement was not captured through the app or when a correction is needed.
Who uses the Flight register
The Flight register is designed for aerodrome administrators and flight instructors who are responsible for maintaining an accurate record of local airfield activity. Typical users include:
- Administrators who maintain the official movement register, add manual entries, and produce exported copies for reporting or compliance
- Flight instructors who review the movement list to verify that training flights were registered correctly and to follow up on student pilot activity
Where Flight register starts
- Open
Flight registerfrom the main navigation. - The module opens on the movement list, which shows all recorded movements in chronological order.
- From the movement list, you can search for specific movements, review details, or navigate to manual entry and export functions.
What Flight register covers
The module is organised around three main working areas:
- Movement list — the main register view where you read, search, and review all recorded movements at the aerodrome
- Manual entries and export — tools for adding movements that were not captured automatically and for producing printed or exported copies of the register
- Operational follow-up — guidance on working with app-created movements, verifying completeness, and knowing when to continue in another module
How Flight register relates to other modules
The Flight register serves a different purpose from the flight logs found in Fleet. Understanding this distinction is important:
- Flight register is the aerodrome-side record. It answers the question: what movements happened at this airfield? Use it for local movement compliance, operational oversight, and aerodrome reporting.
- Fleet flight logs are aircraft-side records. They answer the question: what is the flight history for this specific aircraft? Use Fleet when you need Hobbs times, billing data, maintenance context, or dispatch-related review.
If you are looking for aircraft history or financial follow-up, start in Fleet rather than in the Flight register.
If you need to check whether a flight is still open or has been completed, start in Flights, which serves as the live operational status board.
Page structure in this documentation
The Flight register documentation follows the main working areas users encounter in the module:
- Movement list — reading and searching the register
- Manual entries and export — adding entries and producing output
- Operational follow-up — working with app-created data and knowing when to continue elsewhere
Common tasks at a glance
- Verify a movement was recorded — open the movement list, search by aircraft registration or PIC, and confirm the entry is present
- Add a missing movement — use the manual entry function to create a new register entry with the correct movement type, date, times, and route
- Export the register — use the export or print function to produce a copy of the movement list for external reporting or record-keeping
- Follow up on an incomplete entry — review the movement in the register, check remarks, and decide whether correction is needed locally or in another module
Good practice
- Treat the Flight register as the official aerodrome movement record and keep it accurate
- Review the movement list regularly, especially on busy operational days, to confirm that all departures and arrivals have been captured
- Use manual entries only when a movement is genuinely missing or incorrect, and always check whether the entry already exists before adding a new one
- Switch to the appropriate specialised module as soon as your question moves beyond the aerodrome record itself
