Insights

Review airtime, reliability, failures, costs, and service timing from the records you actually keep.

Insights combines personal fleet analytics with the service decisions that follow from your logged flights. Open it from the sidebar under Insights.

Personal fleet

  • Airtime trends: compare recent weeks and months.
  • Sim versus real: see how practice time is distributed.
  • Rig breakdown: understand which bound airframes earn their shelf space.
  • Failure context: connect crash counters, maintenance records, and repair patterns.
  • Cost context: read spend alongside the hours that justify it.
  • Service forecast: project when each airframe reaches its configured interval from recent flying.

Service forecast rules

The forecast uses a 30-day window and publishes a date only after flights occurred on at least three different days. It reports due-now and due-soon states even when a date cannot be projected, and labels no-usage, thin-sample, and as-needed rows explicitly.

Reliability rates remain blank until there are at least 50 hours and one crash. That is intentional: zero crashes with no meaningful sample is unknown, not proof of perfect reliability.

See Service forecast for the exact interpretation of every state.

Squadron context

Where your organization plan and role allow it, Insights also links to failure analytics for the squadrons you belong to. Squadron figures use shared fleet records and follow the same role grants described in Roles & permissions.

Tip:

Bind each session to the airframe it used and keep its crash counter current. The more complete the source record, the more useful the analytics become.
