Changelog

Your flights from the old crew center are in your logbook under Archived flights.

Ops and admins can browse and search every archived flight from the PIREP review page.

Training has its own section in the top bar: your courses, the training library, your training record and checkrides, with instructor and management tools for those who need them.

Every pilot has a training record showing their checkrides, line checks, exams, courses and onboarding in one place.

Training Managers: a new flag on the user page lets someone run training — exams, content, courses, grading sheets and assignments — without being an admin.

Line checks. Instructors grade them on a sheet of satisfactory/unsatisfactory items, optionally against a flight report, and each pass is valid for 12 months.

Line-check currency: pilots are reminded 30 days before their line check is due, and grounded once it is more than 14 days overdue until an instructor schedules or records it.

Training library with YouTube and Vimeo videos and PDF documents. A video counts once it has been watched to the end; a document once you confirm you have read it.

Courses: ordered steps of videos, documents and exams that unlock one after another. Start one yourself from the Library.

Training Managers can write new exams, and checkrides can be graded on a sheet too.

Training can be assigned to pilots with a due date, by hand or automatically by rules (all active pilots, trainees, a type rating, or a hub). Courses can repeat every year or on any interval.

"Assigned to me" lists your training and its due dates, with email reminders before and after the due date.

A training overview for Training Managers: who is grounded and why, what is overdue, what is due soon, and how each course is going.

The onboarding checklist, exams, checkrides and checkride review have moved under Training. Old links still work.

A course can be set to ground pilots once it is overdue past its grace period. Every booking screen and ACARS say exactly why.

The top bar no longer overlaps on tablet and small-laptop screens; below 1024px it switches to the menu button.

Pilots now join by applying on skybusva.com. An accepted application creates the crew account on its own and emails the new pilot their welcome link.

Applicants answer a written interview before anyone decides on them, and their answers travel with the application.

New pilots start on an onboarding checklist: set a password, choose a hub, add a SimBrief name, connect ACARS, then sit the exams.

Indoc exam covering Skybus procedures. Questions are drawn at random from a pool, and the pass mark, pool size and retake cooldown are all editable per exam.

A systems exam for each aircraft family, sat before that family's checkride.

Checkrides. Book a set route for your family, fly and file it as normal, then an instructor passes or fails it. A pass grants that family's type rating and credits the hours.

Instructors are flagged per aircraft family and review checkrides from their own queue, with notes required on every verdict.

Admin screens for exam questions, checkride routes, onboarding progress, and pilots whose type ratings still need setting.

A trainee cannot fly the line until a checkride has been signed off. Pilots who were already flying are unaffected.

Public sign-up is closed. Pilots join through an accepted application, or an admin adds them by hand from the Users page.

Email now sends through Resend, and every message has a plain-text version.

Flight and maintenance notes require a login to read. They were readable by anyone who knew the URL.

Pages built from many components no longer re-read the settings table once per component, which was costing a query per row on list-heavy screens.
