2 Search and filter staff
The Crew & Staff Register includes powerful search and filtering tools to help you quickly locate specific staff members or groups of staff based on various criteria.
Quick search
Search by name or details
Use the search box at the top of the page to quickly find staff members by:
- First name, surname, or initials
- Username or email address
- Employee number or staff ID
- Phone number or other contact details
The search uses debouncing (waits 500ms after you stop typing) to avoid unnecessary filtering. Results update automatically as you search. Click the information icon next to the search box to see all searchable fields.
Advanced filters
Click to expand the filter section to access comprehensive filtering options:
Role filters
Roles: Filter by system roles assigned to staff members (e.g., Flight Crew, Cabin Crew, Maintenance Staff, Ground Operations).
Multiple roles can be selected simultaneously. Staff members assigned to any of the selected roles will be shown.
Crew position filters
Endorsed positions: Filter by specific crew positions that staff are endorsed for (e.g., Captain, First Officer, Senior Cabin Crew, Flight Engineer).
Shows only staff who have active endorsements for the selected positions.
Aircraft type filters
Endorsed aircraft types: Filter by aircraft types that staff are endorsed on (e.g., B737, A320, King Air).

The expanded view is useful when you need to identify specific document groups requiring attention. The table automatically adjusts to show only groups relevant to the currently displayed staff.
Note: Operational recency columns only appear when you have regulations with operational recency enabled in your system. If you don't see these columns, contact your administrator to enable operational recency tracking.
5 Manage staff licenses
Staff licenses are professional qualifications required for certain roles, particularly flight crew. Use the License Number column to view and manage licenses for each staff member.
View license details
License information badges
Each staff member has a license badge showing their license status:
- Green badge: Staff member has one or more licenses on file. Hover over the badge to see license numbers and types.
- Grey badge: No licenses recorded. Hover over the badge to see "No licenses" message.
The badge provides quick visual confirmation of license status without opening the edit window.
Add or edit licenses
License management workflow
Steps to manage licenses:
- Locate the staff member in the register table
- In the "License Number" column, click the pencil button
- A window opens showing the license management form
- Add new licenses by selecting the license type and entering the license number
- Edit existing licenses by updating the license number or changing the type

License types must be configured in Crew Settings before they can be assigned. Common types include ATPL, CPL, PPL, and various type ratings.
Permissions: You need Crew Management edit permissions to add or modify licenses. If the pencil button shows a "Not Authorised" message when clicked, contact your administrator.
6 Manage staff endorsements
Endorsements specify which aircraft types and crew positions a staff member is qualified for. This determines which flights they can be assigned to and which operational recency requirements apply.
View endorsement details
Endorsement badges
Each staff member has an endorsement badge showing their status:
- Green badge: Staff member has active endorsements. Hover to see aircraft types and positions.
- Grey badge: No active endorsements. Hover to see "No endorsements" message.
Only active (non-deactivated) endorsements are counted in the badge status.
Add or edit endorsements
Endorsement management workflow
Steps to manage endorsements:
- Locate the staff member in the register table
- In the "Endorsement" column, click the pencil button
- The page switches to the full endorsements management view for that staff member
- Click "Add endorsement" dropdown to choose endorsement type:
- Flight Crew Endorsement: For pilots and cabin crew who will be rostered on flights
- Non-crew Endorsement: For administrative endorsements (engineers, ground ops, etc.) that allow type-specific recency without flight crew functionality
- Select aircraft type and crew position (for flight crew endorsements)
- Enable or disable existing endorsements as needed
- Click "Return to all flight crew" to go back to the main register table
Disabling an endorsement keeps it on record but prevents it from being used for assignments. This is useful for temporary suspensions or when maintaining historical records.
Tip: Endorsements determine which compliance documents and operational recency items apply to a staff member. Add endorsements before attempting to assign compliance documents or monitor recency.
7 Manage home bases

8 Track compliance documents
Compliance documents are required documents that staff must maintain to remain operational. These include training certificates, medical certificates, security clearances, and other regulatory requirements. The system tracks document status, expiry dates, and issues warnings for documents requiring attention.

9 Monitor operational recency
Operational recency tracks whether crew members have performed required recent operations to remain current for specific aircraft types and crew positions. This feature appears only when your organisation has regulations with operational recency enabled.
Understanding recency columns
Two recency perspectives
When operational recency is enabled, two columns appear in the Active staff view:
- All Recency: Shows the overall status of all recency rules across all endorsements, regardless of upcoming flights. Indicates if the crew member is current for their qualifications.
- Upcoming Flights: Shows if any flights in the next 30 days have operational recency issues. Highlights potential problems with scheduled assignments.
These two perspectives help differentiate between general currency status and immediate operational concerns for scheduled flights.
Recency status indicators
All recency button
Button colours indicate overall status:
- Green: All recency requirements are current
- Yellow: Some recency items expiring soon
- Red: One or more recency items expired or non-compliant
- Grey: No recency requirements or not applicable
Upcoming flights badge
Badge colours indicate upcoming issues:
- Green: No recency issues for upcoming flights
- Yellow: Potential issues identified
- Red: Crew member cannot operate scheduled flights due to recency issues
View detailed recency information
Recency details window
Steps to view recency details:
- Locate the staff member in the register table
- Click the button in either the "All Recency" or "Upcoming Flights" column
- A window opens showing detailed recency status for all endorsements
- View which specific recency requirements are current, expiring, or expired
- See last qualifying activity dates and next expiry dates
- Review upcoming flight assignments that may have recency issues
Recency rules are configured in Crew Settings → Regulations. Each regulation can define specific recency requirements for takeoffs, landings, flight hours, or other operational criteria.
Important: If you don't see operational recency columns on the Crew & Staff Register, your organisation either has not enabled operational recency in regulations, or you may not have the required permissions to view recency information. Contact your administrator for assistance.
10 View flight experience summary
Flight crew members (pilots and certain cabin crew positions) can have their flight experience tracked and summarised in the system. This feature provides detailed reports on flight hours, sectors, and experience across different aircraft types.
Accessing flight experience
Flight experience button
When available: The Flight Experience Summary column only appears when at least one staff member on the current page is flight crew.
Steps to view:
- Locate a flight crew member in the register table (column will be visible if applicable)
- Click the flight experience button (plane with user icon) in their row
- A window opens showing the comprehensive Flight Experience Summary
Non-flight crew members show a dash (-) in this column as flight experience tracking doesn't apply to their role.
Flight experience summary contents
Experience report details
The Flight Experience Summary window displays:
- Total flight hours: Accumulated across all aircraft types and positions
- Total sectors: Number of individual flight segments
- Experience by aircraft type: Breakdown of hours and sectors per aircraft
