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.
