Start with the registration and current location

Fleet actions affect a specific aircraft. Check its identity, commitments and status before transferring it, grounding it or changing its ownership.

1. Open the aircraft record

Go to Fleet, use its filters to find the aircraft, and open the profile. Read the registration, model, current airport, ownership or lease state, and maintenance information.

A Planned indication can refer to an upcoming schedule. It is not proof the aircraft is currently flying. A home base describes an assignment; the current airport tells you where the aircraft actually is.

2. Update names and home base

Use the available aircraft actions to rename it, change registration or set a home base when your permissions and its status allow. Read any disabled-button explanation.

  1. Confirm you are editing the intended registration.
  2. Choose an allowed name or registration and review the confirmation.
  3. For home base, select the intended company hub.
  4. Refresh and confirm the saved value.

Changing home base does not fly or transfer the aircraft. Ownership and lease restrictions may also prevent changes.

3. Transfer an aircraft

  1. Check that it is available and not already flying, grounded or in maintenance.
  2. Open Transfer and choose the destination.
  3. Review airport acceptance, cost and estimated arrival before confirming.
  4. Confirm the transfer started, then wait for arrival.
  5. Reopen the aircraft and verify its actual location and status before using it.

CargoLife cargo can block an ordinary transfer. Do not use an empty-aircraft repositioning tool as a cargo delivery shortcut; follow the tracked freight workflow for loaded cargo.

4. Ground or release deliberately

Grounding makes an aircraft unavailable. Review its upcoming work first and communicate the reason. Use Re-Activate only when the reason for manual grounding has been resolved and the action is permitted. It does not complete maintenance or waive other restrictions.

5. Review sale, lease and retirement separately

Before selling, listing for lease, or retiring an aircraft, inspect its schedules, loan and lease obligations, cargo and current status. Read the action's value and confirmation carefully. These actions are not interchangeable with temporary grounding.

Leased aircraft and aircraft with outstanding loans can have ownership restrictions. A wet-lease renter does not control the owner's maintenance. If an action is disabled, use its explanation rather than trying a different action to bypass it.

Before you finish

  • The intended aircraft was changed.
  • Location changes have actually completed.
  • Schedules and maintenance plans still match its availability.
  • No second transfer or sale was submitted because the first response was slow.
