A4Flight Academy handbook

How the club, the aircraft, the training syllabus and the member portal work — written for members, students, instructors, mechanics and administrators.

Quick start by role

Quick start — instructors (CFI)

Teach, grade, sign off, and get paid without any paperwork chasing.

Before the lesson

  1. 1Home lists today's lessons and any worksheet waiting on your grade.
  2. 2Open the student to see their syllabus position, currency and last lesson notes.
  3. 3Confirm the reservation on Schedule shows you as the instructor.

After the lesson

  1. 1Check in the flight with ending meter readings, ground time and any squawks — when you are on the reservation the flight time fills in from the Hobbs numbers.
  2. 2Choose Close out & invoice to bill the student on the spot, then Show QR to pay and hand them your phone — their payment settles that invoice directly.
  3. 3No flight? Use Log ground time on your CFI desk to bill a standalone ground session at your ground rate.
  4. 4Grade the worksheet, add notes, and sign off the lesson or endorsement.

Getting paid

  • Your instruction time becomes an earnings line at your CFI rate automatically.
  • CFI Comp shows pending, approved and paid-to-date totals for you.
  • When the billing admin approves a payout, an invoice is emailed on your behalf and you get a copy.

The club pays you; students never hand you money. Log your time on the flight the same day so nothing is missed.
