As a crew member, Flight Logger helps you view information connected to your own operational activities, manage your profile, access relevant documents, and review your own reports. Your school or operator controls which features are enabled, so your view may look different from another crew member.
Your school may have enabled or disabled some features and permissions, so your view may look slightly different from the screenshots or descriptions in this article.
What is the FlightLogger definition of a crew member?
In FlightLogger, a Crew Member is anyone operating a non-training flight. This applies to any flight outside your standard flight school curriculum, including maintenance flights, ferry flights, discovery flights, or specialized external operations like fire spotting or private charters.

Understand what you can access as a crew member
With the crew member role, you have access to the parts of FlightLogger needed for day-to-day operation flights (and whatever else permissions your administrator(s) have assigned to you).
This typically includes:
Your bookings
In the booking widget, you can see all key details regarding your operation. This includes the flight type, such as a ferry flight, the flight date highlighted in green, the assigned aircraft, your name, and any operational comments.
You will also find details about the customer you are flying for. Clicking directly on the company name will open up the contact information for that specific organization.
You can also easily download any documents, regarding the flight, that have been attached to the booking.
From the booking widget on your front page, you can either cancel the booking if needed, or proceed directly to the flight registration page.
You can easily view a list of all your previous cancelled bookings at any time.
Once completed, your flight information will automatically appear in both your expense reports and your logbook.
Availability and duty time, if enabled by your school
Activities
The Activities tab on your profile page serves as your central dashboard for tracking and managing all your flight bookings. Basically it is an overview of which flights have been submitted or not.
