Frequently asked questions
How far ahead should checkrides be booked?+
In most US markets: 3-6 weeks of DPE lead time is normal and worse in busy seasons — so the professional move is booking when the student is ~80% ready and training toward the date. The tracker's job is the pipeline: each student's target ride, examiner, date, and the paperwork gauntlet (IACRA submitted, endorsements verified, knowledge test in date — it expires 24 calendar months after taking). Students who go stale waiting for late-booked rides re-buy prep hours; schools that pipeline don't.
Does this replace official school training records?+
No — Part 141 records and instructor endorsement obligations (61.189's three-year record requirement) remain the official layer. This is the working analytics layer those records are too rigid to provide: patterns, recency, pipelines and balances at a glance. They should reconcile; this one answers questions in seconds.
Do I need an account or internet connection?+
No account and no connection are needed once the page has loaded — records live in local storage on your device and every calculation runs in your browser. Data doesn't sync between devices, so export the CSV when you want to move or archive your records.
Can I get my data out if I switch systems later?+
Always — the CSV export is a complete, lossless dump of your training record, generated locally in one click. Import it into commercial software, archive it with your files, or post-process it in a spreadsheet. No lock-in is deliberate: data you can't take with you isn't really yours.
