Getting started

What AerScheduler is

The three things everything else hangs off, and how the web console and the iOS app divide the work.

Set up your school on day one

The three-step wizard, then the dashboard checklist that tells you what is still missing. Everything here can be changed later, so do not stall on a decision.

Invite people to your school

Email an invitation with roles already attached, or share your join code and approve the requests as they arrive.

Join a school with a code

What to do with the code or the invitation email you were sent, and what happens if your school has to approve you first.

Add an aircraft

Tail, make, model, year, category and class, meters, rates and a home base. Get the rates and meters right now, because billing and maintenance both read them.

Add a simulator or a classroom

Simulators and rooms are bookable resources like aircraft, and they are free on your bill. Only aircraft count toward what you pay.

Check a renter out on an aircraft

Approving somebody on a tail is how you record a checkout. With the approved-resources rule on, it is also what lets them book it.

Ground, archive or remove a member

Three different things that all look like taking somebody off the roster. Grounding stops them flying and emails them, archiving just tidies the list, and removing is permanent.

Track medicals, certificates and other documents

Set the document types your school requires, upload on somebody's behalf, and get told before one expires.

Choose which emails and alerts you get

Notifications come by email and by push to the iOS app, grouped by category so you can turn off the ones you do not need without losing the ones you do.

Find anything with search

One search box reaches people, aircraft, bookings and pages. What it returns depends on your role, so two people searching the same word see different things.

Your profile, PIN and time zone

Your details, the PIN you sign close-outs with, and why the schedule shows airport time rather than the time on your phone.

Fly at more than one school

One login can belong to several organizations. The switcher changes everything on screen, including which roles you hold.

Roles, and what each one can do

Owner, admin, dispatcher, instructor, student, renter and technician. One person can hold several, and the roles decide what they see, what they can book, and whose money they can look at.

What the iOS app does

The app is built for pilots away from a desk. It does some things the console cannot, and the console does a great deal the app does not.

Every setting, and what it changes

A map of the Settings screen: what lives on each tab, who can open it, and which other part of the product each setting affects.
