Under the Docs tab, there are three sub tabs: All Documents, My Notes, and Schedule.
All Documents
When you open the Docs tab, the All Documents tab will be open with My Flight Documents selected. My Flight Documents are all documents that pertain to the flight:
- Any document attached to the schedule for this particular flight (such as passenger documents)
- Any document attached to the aircraft you are flying
- Any document attached to any of the waypoints you have planned
- Any document, note or photo you have created and linked to this flight
Tap the Viewing By link to open other display options.
Tap the Add Note link to add a note or photo.
Select Note, Camera, or Photo.
Note: Photos taken when you select Camera are stored locally in FlightSpan™, and will not be stored in the iPad Photos app.
If you are viewing My Flight Documents when you add the note, it will automatically be attached to the flight.
Tap the paperclip to attach/detach and the trash can to delete.
If you select Note, you can either type your note or tap the drawing tools icon for drawing options.
Any notes or photos attached to the flight will be uploaded to FlightSpan™ Ops with the DFR.
My Notes
The My Notes tab will display all notes or photos created on this iPad.
Notes or photos added while on the My Notes tab will not be automatically attached to the flight.
Add a title to any note if desired, then click the paperclip icon to attach it to the flight. After the flight is uploaded, the note or image will no longer be editable.
Unattached notes will remain editable even after the flight is uploaded.
However if you tap the share icon to upload a note or image to FlightSpan™ Ops, you will be warned you will no longer be able to edit.
If you are not connected to the internet, you will get a “Problem with document upload” message.
If you are connected to the internet, the note will be uploaded to the FlightSpan™ Ops Documents List, removed from My Notes, and added to the Unlinked Documents section.
Schedule
The Schedule tab displays the two week schedule, with the Show Past Flights button switch disabled by default.
Switch the button on to view past flights with a strikethrough.
Tap the previous day and next day icons to jump one day back or ahead.
