Gotcha’s and glitches
It’s still early days and we are working hard to slick up the operation – all feedback welcome
We hope it’s not ‘orribly illogical but whatever we can do to improve ….
Here are some minor confusions
- do I put in my email or username
- well you’ll have set up a membership on this site. You can use your email as your user name but you have to put it in in both fields. The email is primarily to help you out if credentials are lost
So if you’re more comfortable using your email as username then duplicate this in the ‘username’ field if you want and the app will recognise it
- well you’ll have set up a membership on this site. You can use your email as your user name but you have to put it in in both fields. The email is primarily to help you out if credentials are lost
- I keep getting this message ‘No Owner name’
- on the aircraft screen several users have put in their full name in the first field – sorry the labels were not at all obvious (been changed) you must enter a ‘family name’ as well as ‘given name’ There is a ghost prompt saying ‘Doe’ under the family name field
- Its been noted that the drop down list of aircraft types is missing some. you can ignore it or select ‘not specified’ For example the list comes from an old ICAO database and the GUID ref for a DA62 is actually recorded as the prototype DA50 which never went beyond prototype. In thiss case until we can update embedded lists you can free form enter DA62 – ignore any message saying ‘no results’ that just mean it cant match it up to the icao ID . Your free form entry will stay there. Also – its a hangover from testing but it is legal to leave the type blank – until we update the validation though best to use one of these two methods – enter freefrom/ignore no results or select not specified from drop down list
- At present the details of the aircraft and owner/operator are only saved if you have entered them from the 2nf main menu item ‘Manage Aircraft Lists’ this allows you to save up to 5 different aircraft. You can of course enter a completely different aircraft directly on the Manifest/Gar form but it will not automatically save as you favourites
We are aware of some minor ‘non saving’ default saving which can look odd (particularly on ‘view’- these are being addressed for a release in next week or two (Late Apr 2026) but having checked the values transmitted are as entered on the GAR form.
