Mobile: Flight Control
Accessing and Navigating the Flight Control Page
The Flight Control Page is the central hub for managing all operational details of a specific flight. This article explains how to access this page, what counters and statuses you'll see, and what options are available once you are there.
How to Access the Flight Control Page
To access the Flight Control page for a flight, you must have the required Access Role permissions.
- Go to the Schedule page
- Locate the Flight: Find the flight card you wish to access.
- Swipe Left: Swipe the flight card to the left.
- Tap 'More' (•••)
If you do not see the 'More' button, and instead see a red lock icon, this means you do not have permissions to access the Flight Control page.

Flight Duty Logging
The upper-right corner of the Flight Control Page provides a crucial Duty Log function. The visibility and color of this button indicate the status of your duty time relative to this flight:
Status & Action
Button Status | Meaning | Action |
| (No button) | Flight Log has not yet been completed for this flight. | The Flight Log must be completed before duty may be created. |
Red "Duty" button | Flight log has been saved but no overlapping duty record exists. | Tap the button to open the Create Duty screen. |
Green "Duty" button | Flight log has been saved and a duty record already exists that covers this flight. | Button is disabled and may not be tapped. |
Creating a Duty Log
Tapping the Red Duty button opens the Create Duty screen. This screen auto-populates all necessary fields based on your flight schedule, minimizing manual data entry. You should review the populated data for accuracy, but all fields may be edited if needed.

Event Category | Default as set by your organization for the Duty Time Event Type. | Yes |

Saving Duty Offline
If you create a Duty Log while disconnected from Wi-Fi or
cellular data, the app will automatically save your changes locally so
you don't lose your work. The log will then appear on your Unsent Page. This means the change has not yet synced to the cloud.
Important Notes on Unsent Duty Logs
- Visibility: Until the log is
successfully sent and synced, it will only be visible on your specific
mobile device (on the Unsent Page).
- Calendar/Schedule: Unsent duty logs will not show up on your mobile app's Calendar or Schedule pages until they are synced.
- Web/Other
Devices: The change will not be visible on the web experience or any
other mobile device until it is sent and processed.
