Aircraft Detail Page¶
The aircraft detail page is the central hub for managing a single aircraft. It is organized into a tabbed interface with the following sections:
Overview (this page)
Sharing & Access (owners only)
Page Header¶
The header displays:
Tail number and make/model.
Airworthiness status badge – same color-coded indicator as the dashboard.
Current flight hours.
Update Hours button (visible to owners and pilots) – opens a modal to log new flight time. Disabled when the aircraft is grounded.
Edit button (owners only) – edit aircraft details like tail number, make, model, and photo.
Delete button (owners only) – permanently delete the aircraft and all associated records.
Updating Flight Hours¶
Click Update Hours in the page header (or from the dashboard card).
Enter the new total hours (Hobbs or tach time).
Click Save.
When you update hours, all components with status “IN-USE” automatically have
their hours synchronized. For example, if you add 2.5 hours to the aircraft,
each in-use component’s hours_in_service and hours_since_overhaul also
increase by 2.5.
Overview Tab¶
The Overview tab shows three cards:
Aircraft Information¶
Displays the aircraft photo (if uploaded), tail number, make, model, and status.
Notes¶
Shows the three most recent notes. Click a note to view or edit it (if you have permission). Click “View all N notes” to see the complete list.
To add a note, click the + button in the card header. Notes support a public flag – when checked, the note will be visible on public share links. See Sharing & Access for details.
Recent Activity¶
A feed of recent changes to this aircraft, such as hours updates, component changes, squawk creation, and logbook entries. Each event shows:
A color-coded category label (Hours, Component, Squawk, etc.).
The event description.
A relative timestamp (e.g., “2 hours ago”).
Click View full history to open the Activity History modal, which shows all events with filtering by category.
Airworthiness Issues¶
When the aircraft has any airworthiness issues (orange or red), a dedicated issues card appears below the overview cards. Each issue shows:
A severity icon (red X for grounding, orange triangle for upcoming).
The category (e.g., “AD Compliance”, “Inspection”, “Component”).
A title and description explaining the issue.
This card provides a quick summary so you can see at a glance what needs attention. For details on how airworthiness is calculated, see Airworthiness Status.
