Documents

The Documents tab holds your aircraft’s paperwork: insurance certificates, weight and balance, STCs, receipts, whatever you want to keep with the aircraft. You can organize files into folders and share a copy when someone needs one.

You need the Officer or Manager role to add documents, create folders, rename, move, or delete. Members can view and share.

Open the Documents tab at the bottom of the aircraft screen.

A sort control sits above the document grid.

  3. Capture or select the document (PDF or image).

The + menu includes a Show Tutorial option that opens an on-screen walkthrough. Like the rest of the + menu, it needs the Officer or Manager role.

  1. Tap the + icon in the header, then tap Show Tutorial.
  2. Tap Adding Documents & Folders, Managing Documents, or Using Folders.
  3. Tap SKIP at any time to close the walkthrough.

Each walkthrough highlights the matching controls on the screen, one at a time. Managing Documents needs at least one document, and Using Folders needs at least one folder. BetterPlane grays out an option until you have the content it needs.

Long press any document or folder for the options menu.

You need the Officer or Manager role to see Rename, Move, or Delete. Members see View and Share only.

Share, Rename, and Move apply to documents only. A folder’s menu offers View and Delete.

Deleting a folder removes all files inside it. This cannot be undone.
