Share with Team

Squawk ident—invite co-owners, mechanics, and team members to collaborate on your aircraft.

Why Share Aircraft?

Sharing aircraft access enables collaboration:

  • Flight Schools - Instructors and students can access shared fleet aircraft
  • Management Companies - Oversee aircraft they manage for owners
  • Family Members - Keep everyone informed about aircraft status

Common Sharing Scenarios

Partnership Aircraft

  1. Create a group named after the partnership or tail number
  2. Link it to the aircraft with Admin permissions
  3. Invite all partners
  4. Everyone can log flights and view the complete history

Mechanic Access

  1. Create a group for your maintenance shop or mechanic
  2. Link it to your aircraft with Maintain permissions
  3. Invite the mechanic(s)
  4. They can log maintenance without modifying aircraft settings

Flight School Fleet

  1. Create one group for the entire school
  2. Link all fleet aircraft with Standard permissions
  3. Instructors and students join the group
  4. Use different groups for instructors (Maintain) vs students (Standard) if needed
Note: You can link multiple groups to a single aircraft with different permission levels. For example: "Owners" (Admin) + "Renters" (Standard) + "Maintenance" (Maintain).

Best Practices

  • Use descriptive group names - Makes it clear who the group is for
  • Grant minimum necessary permissions - Give Maintain only to those who need it
  • Review group membership regularly - Remove people who no longer need access
  • Communicate with your team - Use Conversations for squawks and coordination
