Aircraft status, and what makes one unbookable
What each aircraft status means, and the reasons an aircraft stops being available to book.
Last reviewed
Each aircraft has a status that decides whether it can be booked. When an aircraft is unbookable, the status says why, so you can see at a glance whether it is a defect, a check coming due, or maintenance in progress.
The statuses
- Serviceable, available to book and fly.
- Restricted, flyable, but with limits (for example a deferred defect that constrains what it may do).
- Open defect, a snag has been raised that grounds it until cleared.
- In maintenance, physically out of service for work.
Why an aircraft goes unbookable
- A defect is raised that grounds it. It stops being bookable the moment the snag is logged.
- A maintenance requirement comes due, a check on hours, cycles or the calendar. FlyerOS blocks it in the schedule before the limit is reached, so a booking cannot be made that would fly it past due.
- It is deactivated, removed from the active fleet entirely.
The schedule respects this automatically
You do not have to remember which aircraft are unavailable. Because status and the schedule read the same data, an unserviceable aircraft simply does not appear as bookable, and a due check blocks the slot before it becomes a problem.
