Dashboard

Total airtime, streaks, consistency, readiness, and the next maintenance decision at a glance.

Your dashboard is the at-a-glance home for your flight record and, when gear data exists, your fleet readiness.

Quick stats

StatMeaning
Total airtimeLogged time across simulator and real-world sessions.
Current streakConsecutive days with at least one session, with sim and real context.
Packs flownReal-world pack count from sessions that record packs.
Active rigsUnique bound drones flown in the recent activity window.

Consistency grid

The GitHub-style heatmap covers the last 12 months. Each square is a day; darker squares represent more airtime.

Sim vs real and volume

The airtime donut separates simulator and real-world hours. Monthly stacked bars show how the two modes change over time, while rig-usage bars show hours for bound airframes.

Readiness

The readiness panel brings the most actionable gear signals forward: airframes with service clocks that need attention and battery packs with recent internal-resistance data. It is a decision aid, not a legal airworthiness determination.

Service forecast

When eligible fleet records exist, the dashboard or Insights surface can show the Service forecast. It projects due dates from the airframe's configured interval and its recent bound-flight pace. If the sample is too thin, it says why rather than inventing a date. See Service forecast.

Getting started and live updates

New accounts can see a derived setup checklist for callsign, gear, first flight, and optionally a squadron. The checklist reads your real records and is never a gate.

Dashboard edits sync across devices and tabs where live updates are available. A session with no bound airframe still counts toward total airtime, but it cannot appear in rig-specific charts or forecasts.
