Navigation:  Reservations > Reservation start and end time

The resource, pilot and flight instructor can have different reservation start and end times. To make sure that reservations still are handled in a reasonable way, some rules do apply.

This feature allows the operator to schedule pilots and instructors for briefing and debriefing within the same reservation, but without blocking the aircraft for the entire duration.

 

Minimal pre and post flight span of time

You can define a minimal duration of the pre and post flight phase. This is an amount of time that is added to the reservation of the aircraft. These settings are per type of reservation and can be found in the respective window.

 

Automatic setting of pre and post flight times

When you change the start or end time of the resource, the start and end time of the pilot and instructor (if applicable) will automatically be adjusted to reflect the minimal pre and post flight duration.This means that when editing, you should always begin with the start and end time of the resource and change start and end time of the pilot and instructor subsequently, if necessary.

 

If you change the resource start and end time an existing reservation, the start and end time of the pilot/instructor are automatically changed as well to reflect the required pre and post flight duration. Apply caution when your reservation has non-standard pre and post flight times. In this case, you will have to readjust the pilot and instructor start and end time manually as well.

 

Flightnet automatically shows a light yellow background for start and end times that have been changed automatically (applies for pilot and instructor only, since the resource times never are changed automatically).
