To check in a flight, simply hover your mouse over the flight, and right click. Select “Check In” from the popup menu as shown below:

The following Check In screen will appear:

Aircraft Data

SkyManager asks first for the aircraft data. Hobbs Out time will be prepopulated from the previous flight record. Add the data as necessary, and proceed to the next area. Only the data on the top half of the screen is required for check-in. Complete the check-in by clicking the “Complete Check In” button. The list can be customized to add or remove criteria like “Fuel” and “Oil”.

Instructor Time

If this flight has an Instructor attached to to, and Instructor window will appear below the Landing Count box. If a “flight” is composed of ground time plus flight time, you will be able to enter both using the drop down that will appear.

Note: At this screen, you may also report a Discrepancy also. Do this first, then check in the aircraft.

SkyManager will then display the invoice for the flight. (If your organization uses QuickBooks, then all invoices will be held in a queu until the next sychronization.) A sample screen shot is below. In this sample SkyManager Support is the user logged in, and the receipt records the Plane Rental, fuel charge if any, Flight Intructor, and charge if any, and the total. The far right column shows the users’ account balance in manner similar to a check register.

Here any other Point of Sale items can also be listed. For example, a Sectional Chart. This was added to the invoice by clicking the “add” link next to the summary line with date and time.

Note: Organizations utilizing QuickBooks™ software may turn this feature off to save all invoices for batch processing. Users can still see their balances elsewhere, but the SkyManager balance sheet won’t update until QuickBooks is synchronized again. See the QuickBooks™ SkyManager Quick Start Guide for more information.

Returning to the Online Schedule, you will now see that the checked-in flight has changed color again to show its changed status. Flights returning early will have their times adjusted appropriately for both aircraft and instructor.
