Dispatch and aircraft checkout
The pre-flight dispatch sheet, airworthiness checks, and closing out a flight.
Dispatching a flight
Dispatch is a mobile-friendly form you complete at the aircraft. Open your reservation and choose Dispatch.
- 1Confirm your pilot credentials are current — the form blocks dispatch on an expired medical, flight review or insurance.
- 2Review open squawks for the aircraft and confirm none are grounding items.
- 3Record Hobbs and tach start, fuel and oil state.
- 4Accept the dispatch declaration and release the aircraft to yourself.
Closing out
- Record Hobbs and tach end, landings, and fuel added.
- Report any new squawk before you leave the aircraft — even minor items.
- Closing the flight creates the logbook entry and the billable line item automatically.
Never leave a discrepancy undocumented. A written squawk protects the next pilot and the mechanic's audit trail.
