Aircraft Approvals

NeedleNine offers the ability to customize approvals per your organization’s policy while maintaining FAA and TSA regulatory compliance. Follow these simple steps to configure aircraft approvals in your system.

Client Aircraft Approvals

Users can be approved for either individual or groups of aircraft. While a user may be able to schedule an aircraft they are not approved to fly, the system will only allow dispatch when user is approved.

To approve a user for an aircraft, simple go to user profile and select Activity> Approved Aircraft tabs. Click the + Add/Edit Aircraft button to modify.

Check the aircraft or group applicable to user. If Never is selected, dispatches are approved indefinitely. Otherwise, enter a date aligned with your school policy. (Eg. 12 month currency requalification) Click Save button and NeedleNine now allows user to dispatch that aircraft.

Instructor Aircraft Approvals

Following the same steps above, you can limit the ability for instructors to teach in aircraft. By entering an expiration date in the instructor profile, NeedleNine will inhibit dispatch upon expiration. This is especially useful for Part 141 annual proficiency checks to ensure instructors complete currency requirements when teaching 141 students.
