User Balance Module

Setting up advanced aircraft pricing

Advanced aircraft pricing allows you to set up customized pricing on your aircraft and simulators based on flight type.

(Note that this feature requires that you have enabled the User Balance Module (UBM) on your FlightLogger account. Learn about the UBM module here.)

Advanced aircraft pricing allows you to set up customized pricing on your aircraft and simulators based on flight type. This means you can not only set different prices on an aircraft based on training program, but also differentiate pricing based on the registered flight type inside each program, thereby allowing for more advanced student accounting.

How to set up advanced pricing on an aircraft/simulator

To enable advanced pricing on an aircraft or simulator, go to Administration -> Aircraft

Here you'll find a complete overview of all aircraft and simulators on your account. Now click Prices on the aircraft/simulator you wish to edit.

This takes you to the first level of pricing which is the program-based pricing for the selected aircraft/simulator. If you already have set up pricing on the desired program, simply click the pencil icon to edit the program pricing. If not, instead click Create aircraft price to create a new pricing.

From here, make sure to select the correct program (1).

(Note that if you haven't set up a rental price for your aircraft, and it's set as available for rentals, you can click the rental box (2) to define a general rental price for your aircraft/simulator.

To set up advanced pricing, simply click the Advanced pricing box (3) to open up the customizable pricing scheme.

Depending on whether you are editing an aircraft or a simulator, you can now insert customized pricing for the following flight types on your selected program:

Once you're done inserting your prices, click Update/Create aircraft price. From here on, all registrations done on the aircraft/simulator will be registered with you new price settings.

Note that advanced prices are always set as block time, while rentals can also be set as airborne time, and remember that your accounting can still be affected by any student discounts you may have set.
