How to add a Flight Instructor
- Navigate to the ‘Fleet’ page and scroll down to ‘Add Instructor’ just above the calendar.
- Fill out the fields
- Name: First and Last name
- Are they Part/Time Contractor? If an instructor works less than full time and wont be able to do anymore work for you as they have another job elsewhere, then tick the box for Part-time contractor. If this isn't ticked and an Instructor has an availability less than 1 Aeroplanned will think that this Instructor could be used to fly with students if you increased their availability. This potential ability to fly with students is represented on the graph by the grey 'non-flying' colour.
- Start Date: when the instructor started with you
- End date (if known or can be estimated): enter in any date in the future.
- Instructor Type: The options you will have to choose from in the drop down selection box have been set up based on the initial discussion on what types you want available. These types directly match what you have in the syllabus.
- Availability to fly with students: How much of an instructor’s time is spent flying with students. If they are fulltime but have a management role, then their availability may be at 0.5. If they are fulltime and fly with students all the time then their availability would be 1.
