Here is how it is assembled and paid." lang: en --- Documentation A4Flight Academy handbook How the club, the aircraft, the training syllabus and the member portal work — written for members, students, instructors, mechanics and administrators. Billing & finance # Billing and invoices One invoice covers aircraft and instruction. Here is how it is assembled and paid. ## One invoice, everything included A4 bills you for aircraft time and instruction on a single club invoice. The club pays its contract instructors directly — you never settle up separately with your CFI. - Hourly aircraft rates are wet: fuel is included. - Flights bill on meter (Hobbs/tach) time, in tenth-of-an-hour (0.1 hr) increments, with a one-hour minimum. You pay for meter time, not time flown. - Line items are generated from closed dispatch sheets and instructor-signed instruction time. - Membership dues and any incidentals appear as their own line items. ## Statuses and payment | Status | Meaning | | --- | --- | | Draft | Being assembled by the club; not yet payable. | | Sent | Issued to you and awaiting payment. | | Paid | Payment received and applied in full. | | Overdue | Past the due date with a balance outstanding. | | Void | Cancelled by the club and no longer owed. | Card payments are collected through Stripe checkout and reconciled automatically by the payments webhook. Administrators can log cash, check or bank transfers directly on an invoice. Your instructor can also settle a flight on the spot: at check-in they issue the invoice and show a QR code — scan it with your phone, review the line items, and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. If the club has granted you an account credit, any unapplied balance is consumed automatically the next time an invoice is issued to you — the invoice shows the credit line and the reduced amount due. Card on file: authorize a card once on Billing, Payments or during Get set up, set the most you want charged without asking, and issued invoices settle themselves — including the invoice your instructor creates at check-in. Any card you pay with can be kept on file at checkout. You can pause or remove the authorization at any time, and every automatic charge sends you a receipt. ## Finding your invoices 1. 1 Open Billing in the portal sidebar. 2. 2 Pick an invoice to see its line items, payments and remaining balance. 3. 3 Download the PDF, or use the pay button to settle by card. Questions about a line item? Ask your instructor or email contact@a4flight.com before paying — the club can edit or reissue an invoice.
