Hand an aeroplane to the person who runs it
Name an aircraft manager on any tail and that person gets full control of that aircraft — its record, its maintenance, its documents and its bookings — without opening up the rest of your fleet. Aircraft management built for operators who look after aircraft on behalf of third-party owners.
One aeroplane, one person in charge
The aircraft manager is set per tail, not per role. A line captain, an instructor, or the owner flying their own aeroplane gets exactly the authority they need — and only on that aircraft.
Set per aircraft, not per role
Any pilot in the company can be named manager of a tail. Their user group does not change, and nothing else in the company opens up.
Full maintenance control
Open, edit, sign off and delete maintenance jobs, raise defects and MEL/CDL items and clear them — on the aircraft they manage.
Their own schedule board
A Schedule Manager filtered to their tails: create, move and re-crew bookings without seeing the rest of the fleet's calendar.
Scoped by default
Every screen and every API call is checked against the aircraft. Point a manager at a tail they do not manage and nothing comes back.
Everything about their aeroplane
The manager opens the aircraft page the way an administrator does: airworthiness, insurance, registration, radio licence, weight & balance and avionics expiry dates, hours and landings, the full aircraft logbook, attached documents, the mass & balance profile and fuel and oil tracking.
They can edit the record and change the photo. Who manages the aircraft, which company it belongs to and whether it is in service stay with your staff — a manager cannot hand the aeroplane to somebody else or retire it.

Airworthiness, in their hands
Maintenance jobs and work orders, CRS signatures, job duplication, defect reports, MEL and CDL items and the deferral clock — all of it, for the aircraft they manage. The Maintenance menu appears for them, with only their own tails selectable.
Company-wide maintenance plans and the parts inventory stay with your maintenance staff: an aircraft manager works the aeroplane, not your shop.
Aircraft Maintenance
Book it, crew it, follow it
The Schedule Manager opens for them with their aircraft on the board. They create and edit bookings on those tails, set the crew, and can open every flight flown on the aeroplane — including the ones they were not crewed on.
Everywhere else they behave like any other pilot: the extra authority stops at the aircraft they are responsible for.
Flight Schedule Planner
Built for aircraft you manage for someone else
An operator that manages aeroplanes for private owners can give each owner — or the crew member assigned to that aeroplane — a real seat in the system. They see their aircraft's hours, next maintenance, expiring certificates and upcoming bookings in the same place your ops team works.
No separate portal, no exported spreadsheets, and no sight of other owners' aircraft, crew or flights.

- Create and edit bookings, and set their crew

- Maintenance plans and the parts inventory
- Anything at all on the rest of the fleet
Frequently asked questions
What is an aircraft manager in Flylogs?
A person named on a specific tail who gets full control of that aircraft: its record, maintenance, documents and bookings. It is set per aircraft, not per role, so their user group does not change and nothing else in the company opens up.
Can an aircraft manager sign the CRS?
Yes, on the aircraft they manage. They can create, edit, duplicate and delete maintenance jobs, sign the Certificate of Release to Service, and raise, defer and close defect, MEL and CDL items.
Can an aircraft manager see the rest of the fleet?
No. Every screen and every API call is checked against the aircraft on the server, so a manager pointed at a tail they do not manage gets nothing back.
What stays with the company's own staff?
Adding, retiring or deleting an aircraft, changing who manages it, maintenance plans and the parts inventory.
Does it work for aircraft managed for private owners?
Yes. Each owner, or the crew member assigned to their aeroplane, can see that aircraft's hours, next maintenance, expiring certificates and upcoming bookings, with no separate portal and no sight of other owners' aircraft.
