How-to Guides

Run a Lesson from Booking to Billing

A lesson puts the student, the instructor, and the aircraft on one reservation. This guide books a dual lesson, collects both signatures, dispatches it, and returns it with instruction time billed and acknowledged.

Before you start

The student and instructor both need signature PINs if your organization requires lesson signatures.
The booking form only offers instructors who are available for the chosen time.
If the student has an active training enrollment, the lesson can be linked to it at booking so the flight feeds their training record.

Step 1 - Book the lesson

Open Schedule, click Add reservation, and switch to the Flight lesson tab.
Pick the lesson type, the aircraft, the instructor, and the student.
Optionally link a training enrollment, hold a classroom, and set pre-brief and post-brief minutes.
Set the times and click Review & book.

The review prices all three components of the lesson: aircraft time, CFI instruction, and ground instruction.

Lesson booking review with aircraft, CFI instruction, and ground instruction lines — The lesson estimate - aircraft, instruction, and ground time itemized up front.

Step 2 - Collect both signatures

Open the reservation. A dual lesson can require two signatures before dispatch (the student’s and the instructor’s), and the authorization section shows both as blocking until they’re collected.

Lesson reservation with pilot and instructor signatures both required — Two signatures required - either one missing blocks dispatch.

Click Sign. The student signs first, entering their own PIN.
Sign again for the instructor. Resyrv fills in whose signature is still missing, and the instructor keys in their own PIN.

Pilot signature dialog for the student with PIN field — The student signs - their PIN, their agreement to the school’s policies.

Lesson reservation with both signatures recorded and passing — Both signatures recorded and time-stamped before the flight.

Step 3 - Dispatch the lesson

Dispatch works exactly as it does for a rental: readiness checks re-run, and the meters are verified before the engine starts. The header shows both names. The lesson goes out under student and instructor together.

Pre-flight dispatch check for a dual lesson with meters-out verification — Pre-flight check for the lesson - confirm the meters and release the aircraft.

Step 4 - Return with instruction time

The return wizard gains a lesson-specific section: instruction time. Instructor flight time pre-fills from the meter delta and stays editable, and ground instruction time is entered alongside it.

Return wizard flight details with instructor flight time and ground instruction time — Instruction time - pre-filled from the meters, editable before charges post.

Before the charges post, the instructor acknowledges the flight and ground instruction charges with their PIN.

Instructor acknowledgement dialog with PIN field — The instructor acknowledges the charges before they reach the student’s account.

Enter the ending meters, then the instruction times.
Have the instructor acknowledge the charges with their PIN.
Click Return & post, then settle. The student pays now or later, with every line itemized.

Lesson settle-up step with amount due and pay now or pay later options — Settled - aircraft, instruction, and ground time on the student’s account, pay now or later.
