Currency Events, such as annual proficiency checks, can be defined for each Staff Group that has been marked For Staff Currency. The status of each Currency Event can be easily monitored through color coded lists. The chief pilot, chief of maintenance, or their designee will need to update the Currency Event records as they occur (unless the event is completed and synced through the EFB).
Select Currency Events List from the Staff / Users menu on the left side bar.
Click on the green New button, name the event, toggle the Active button to yes, decide which Staff Group it applies to, and whether it should be limited by aircraft type.
Set the currency interval and units.
Decide whether the event should be updated automatically by syncing with the EFB.
Note: Sync with EFB must be set to Yes both here and in the Staff Currency Group.
Events selected to Sync with EFB will show up when creating a load on the EFB when the Non-Revenue Items load type is selected, then the Tracked Currency Items. See the Non Revenue Items documentation for details.
Decide who should be notified when a currency event is due. In most cases, you will probably want the alert level to be Everywhere.
If you want the event due at the end of the calendar month, change the toggle to Yes. If you leave it set to No, the due date will be exact.
Decide whether you want the due date to be consistent, and set the window before and after the due date where the date will remain consistent.
If the date the currency event is completed falls outside the grace period window, the due date will automatically reset.
You can always override the automatically generated due date.
Decide how much advance warning you need to schedule and prepare for the currency event, then click Save.
If you leave it blank, FlightSpan will use the company default interval (Settings > Company > Custom Settings List and search “currency”).
