Student Training Module

Overview

The Student Training Module is a free feature for flight schools. When enabled, it adds:

A Students page in the sidebar showing your entire student roster at a glance
A Training tab on each student's member profile for detailed time tracking and endorsements
FAA Part 61 checkride progress cards showing how close a student is to minimum requirements
Certificate levels: PPL, Instrument Rating (IR), CPL, CFI, and CFII

Enabling the Module

Go to Settings (sidebar).
In the Features section, toggle on Student Training Module.
Click Save Settings.

The Students nav item and Training tabs will appear immediately for admin, owner, and CFI roles.

Training Records

Training records are manually-entered running totals per student per certificate level. They represent cumulative time earned toward that certificate — not individual flight logs.

Entering Time Totals

Open a student's profile: Settings → Members → [Student Name].
Click the Training tab.
Select the certificate level tab (PPL, IR, CPL, CFI, CFII).
Fill in the time fields:

Section	Fields
General	Total Time, PIC Time, Dual Received, Solo Time
Cross-Country	XC Total, XC PIC, XC Solo, XC Night, Long XC (150nm+)
Night	Night Total, Night Dual, Night T&Ls (takeoffs and landings)
Instrument	Actual IMC, Simulated, Approaches
Landings	Day Landings, Night Landings

Optionally set:
- Assigned CFI — the instructor responsible for this student's training
- Status — In Progress, Ready for Checkride, Passed, or Failed
- Target Date — goal date for the checkride
- Checkride Date — actual scheduled or completed date
Click Save Training Record.

Checkride Progress

Below the time entry form, the Checkride Progress card shows:

A progress bar for each FAA time requirement (e.g., "Dual Received — 18.5 / 20.0 hrs")
An endorsement checklist showing which required endorsements have been issued
A Ready for Checkride or Not Ready badge based on whether all minimums are met

Progress bars turn fully green once a requirement is met.

Requirements shown are FAA Part 61 aeronautical experience minimums — your students may need more time based on individual performance.

Endorsements

The Endorsements card lists all endorsements required for the selected certificate level per FAA Advisory Circular AC 61-65.

Giving an Endorsement

In the Endorsements card, find the endorsement (e.g., "Pre-Solo Knowledge Test").
Click the circle icon next to it.
In the dialog that opens, enter:
- Date Given
- Notes (optional)
Click Save.

The endorsement is recorded with the date, the logged-in CFI's identity, and any notes. A filled green circle indicates the endorsement has been given.

Removing an Endorsement

Click the green check mark to open the remove confirmation and delete it. This does not affect any flight records.

Custom Endorsements

For endorsements not on the standard list (e.g., high-performance, complex, tailwheel):

Scroll to the bottom of the Endorsements card.
Click + Add Custom Endorsement.
Fill in the endorsement label, date, and optional FAR reference and notes.
Click Save.

Status Workflow

Status	Meaning
In Progress	Active training toward this certificate
Ready for Checkride	Student meets minimums, CFI recommends them

Passed and failed records are excluded from the "active training" display on the Students overview page.

The Students page (sidebar → Students) shows all members with the Student role and their:

Active certificate goal
