Certificates & Licenses

Definitions of pilot licenses and ratings, with the validity intervals that feed proficiency tracking and qualification checks.

What it is

Certificates & Licenses is where you define the pilot licenses and ratings your club tracks — each with its own validity or renewal interval. These definitions describe the credentials a member can hold, such as a glider license or a specific rating, and how long each one stays valid before it needs renewing.

Holding the right, in-date credentials is what proves a member is allowed to fly a given activity. By recording license types and their intervals here, the club can track proficiency over time and let the qualification engine check, automatically, whether a pilot’s credentials are current. The underlying license type definitions live at /certificates/license-types.

How to use it

  • Define license types — create each license or rating your club issues at /certificates/license-types.
  • Set validity intervals — give each type its renewal period so expiry can be tracked.
  • Track proficiency — see which members hold which credentials and when they lapse.
  • Feed qualification checks — let qualification rules verify a pilot’s credentials are current before a flight.
  • Capture extras — pair with custom fields for any credential detail the base model doesn’t cover.
  • Qualification Rules — use license validity to decide who may fly.
  • Members — where each member’s held licenses are recorded.
  • Custom Fields — capture extra credential data such as medical expiry.
