Have a way to flag profiles (renters) for Staff. When I open a profile or reservation and I need another staff member to see something or be aware of problem renter or update some document. It should only show up when accessed by staff. Like the internal notes but bring attention to them. Maybe a have a check box that would pop up a message to "See internal notes".

You will be able to add this resource into the scheduler, to allow for schedule and planning for arrivals of transient customers. You could also change the booking format to accommodate the specifics such as N Number, Company, etc. As well as allow the resource itself to be booked multiple times within the same timeframe.

Would like to be notified when someone makes a payment to an invoice.

Due to daylight I would like to make my availability different in different periods of the year and set this up well in advance so that it's not overlooked or side stepped by students booking a long way in advance, i.e.
from November 10:00-16:00
from 20th Feb 09:00-17:00
from 27th Mar 09:00-19:00
from 24th Apr 08:00-20:00
There is too much fiddling with time on/off to achieve this at the moment

A few comments have requested write-access to the FSP API, so this Idea joins those all together.

Currently we only support read-only. We will update this Idea if this changes. Thank you!

I'd like to be able to 'group aircraft' or group aircraft and instructors if possible. We have multiple locations and it would be nice for customers to know which airplane is at which location at all times without having to filter. We also have locations that are for aircraft that are not on our public scheduling calendar, so it would be good to have that in a separate group too. This type of grouping is NOT by aircraft type. Thanks!

Transport Canada requires a solo student have a briefing by an instructor. We need the ability to define a briefing instructor, who may also be booked on a flight. FSP does not allow an instructor to be double booked, or create a small time block for a briefing. The primary instructor may assign the briefing to another instructor who is in when the solo flight is scheduled.

In the current system, we can only select one option for how soon a reminder is sent out prior a lesson's commencement. We'd like the option to add additional reminder slots to account for 24hr, 12hr, 6hr, and 3hr reminders for the same reservation.

When you receive a payment against an invoice, a new invoice number is produced by the system, which creates a double up (2 invoice numbers per transaction), and clogs the billing reports with unnecessary invoice numbers. Why not just put the payment flag against the original invoice once its paid? If you feel the need to produce more paperwork, when the second "invoice" is created, can the system use the original invoice number and label the document a receipt so its easy to distinguish when looking at the billing reports.

Allow more than one file be uploaded to a Document to show
ex: front and back of a cert
ex: previous rental agreements, etc. to keep a record of past document and the current one in a single location

With a number of casual instructors, a report showing Work Schedule Start and Work Schedule finish times for a specific date range (past or future) would be very helpful.

Make an IFR flag much like the mx reminder and aircraft down flags to notify users when booking or checking out the plane if the plane is not airworthy for IFR or VFR, day or night. We often have people booking planes where it is unclear from the most recent squawks that something for needed for IFR flight or night VFR flight is inop.

Cancellation reason could be a two-step process. MX, IP, SP, WX Scheduling Only and Other, and a dropdown below those options for the specific reason. For a flight school, we rely on the cancellation reports from FSP to be correct. More than once I have been moving too fast and clicked and submitted “SP-SP Sick” instead of “WX-Ceiling”. Unfortunately, there is not an Undo. It skews the cancellation reports and challenges my memory to recall who it happened to.

This would allow better flight planning and maintenance scheduling so that we could choose "All active Statuses" or "Warning & Expired" etc. and have it remain set that way for user preference. As it is, it resets to Warning & Expired ever time.

Currently only Admins/Maintenance personnel have the ability to enable Email notifications for when an Aircraft Squawk is created. Would be nice if the general user community could also get Email notifications (if they choose), maybe even for selective aircraft when squawks are created. Maybe even an option to "follow" certain squawks, such that I would get email updates on certain issues when the status changes. Since I may not want to fly an aircraft until a certain issue is addressed.

We all have flight books.

But it would be nice to see some high-level stats (totals) of how many hours trained, maybe broken down by plane or instructor.
