A mission plan bundles a set of course exercises into one named flight assignment, such as "Mission 1: circuit consolidation". Flight instructors can link one mission to a grading and grade its exercises as a group, while individual exercise grading keeps working exactly as before. Missions are optional: courses without missions behave as they always did.
Defining missions on a course
- Open Flight training → Courses and select the course.
- Open the Missions tab and click Add.
- Give the mission a number (for ordering), a title and an objective.
Click a mission in the list to open its detail page, where you link the exercises:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Requirement | Mandatory exercises feed the hold list (see below); optional exercises are suggestions within the mission. |
| Briefing | Mark an exercise as briefing required to attach briefing documents (PDF or images) to it. Pilots and instructors can open these documents straight from the grading form. |
Flying a mission in a grading
When the course has missions, the grading form shows a Mission selector above the exercises. Selecting a mission moves its exercises into a dedicated Mission table directly below the selector — independent of the phase structure — with badges showing mandatory/optional and briefing requirements (including direct links to the briefing documents). The full exercise list remains available below under All exercises, so instructors can still grade any other exercise in the same grading.
One mission can be linked per grading. The mission name appears in the gradings overview, in the grading detail view and on the grading PDF.
The Missions tab on the training file
Each student's training file has a Missions tab (between Summary and Gradings) with two blocks:
- Missions -- every mission of the course with its status: flown (with clickable grading dates) or not flown yet.
- Hold list -- all mandatory exercises from missions that were flown but that have not been handled in any grading yet. An exercise counts as handled when it received a D/E/T mark, a score or a remark — in any grading, also a later one or outside the mission. The hold list therefore empties itself as the training progresses.
Note
the hold list is the instructor's "still to do" list after mission flights: it makes visible which compulsory exercises were skipped during a mission and still need attention.
Missions on the training summary PDF
The training summary PDF includes a missions overview (number, title, objective, flown status and grading references) and the open-exercises hold list, so the printed training dossier reflects the mission progress. Each merged grading page shows the mission that was flown.
