About Renter Checkout & Currency Tracker
Training operations run on a handful of unglamorous records, and this is one: rental privileges run on club-level currency rules layered over FAA recency: 90-day club currency per type, annual checkouts, and insurance open-pilot clauses with minimum hours — all enforced from the renter file at dispatch. Mind the pattern — the renter file is insurance-critical: checkout date, aircraft types approved, club currency (commonly 90 days) and the open-pilot clause hours all live or die on this record. Structured entries with badges make the pattern visible while it's still cheap to act on.

Frequently asked questions
What currency rules do schools impose beyond FAA recency?+
Typical stack: 90-day currency per aircraft type (lapse = instructor re-checkout), annual flight review with a school CFI regardless of FAA flight-review status, minimum hours for complex/high-performance types per the insurance open-pilot clause, and weather/wind limits by experience tier. These are contract and insurance terms, not regulations — but dispatching a lapsed renter can void hull coverage, which is why the renter file's currency dates are the school's most financially loaded records.
Why keep this separate from scheduling software?+
Scheduling apps optimise the future and discard the past — cancelled bookings vanish, dispatch details live in fields nobody exports, and the historical pattern (the thing audits and retention analysis need) is unreachable. This log is the durable record layer: simple, structured, yours, exportable. Many schools run both: the app for tomorrow, this board for what actually happened.
Is this tool private — who can see my entries?+
Only you. Entries live in your browser's local storage and never leave your device, so there is no account, no cloud sync and no one else with access. Because the data is device-local, export a CSV backup before clearing browser data or switching computers.
How do I back up or print these records?+
Use the Export CSV button below the table: it downloads your full operations record as a spreadsheet-ready file. From there you can print a clean copy, archive it with your records folder, or import it into any other system. Exporting monthly is a good habit since the working data lives only in your browser.
