Resource Administration: Managing Resources

Getting started with managing your core resources such as aircraft, helicopters and simulators.

Introduction to Aircraft Administration

Aircraft administration, including creating, editing, deactivating, and logging setup, is managed in the Administration section. These settings define how flight data is recorded, reported, and integrated across FlightLogger.

As an administrator, you can create new resources such as aircraft, helicopters, and simulators.

To do this, go to Administration → Aircraft.
