Use `Aircraft` to manage the aircraft available for planning, loading, filing, and syncing to AvPlan devices.

Terminology

• `Aircraft` means an individual aircraft, usually identified by callsign or registration.
• `Type` means the ICAO/type data used by one or more aircraft, such as ICAO code, performance, units, weights, fuel, and W&B setup.
• A single `Type` can contain multiple `Aircraft`.

Quick Start

1. Open `Aircraft`, or go to /types.
2. Press `New` to add an aircraft, or select an existing aircraft from the list.
3. Search by callsign or browse aircraft models.
4. Select the correct `Type`.
5. Complete required fields for planning, loading, and fuel calculations.
6. Review the individual `Aircraft` details such as callsign, registration, home base, reserves, avionics, PBN, and defaults.
7. Press `Save`.
8. Check the aircraft appears in Planning and on your AvPlan devices.
   

*If you are only adding one aircraft, start with `New` and follow the `Add Aircraft` steps. You can return later to add W&B, fuel tanks, advanced performance, photos, or extra aircraft under the same Type.

!If an aircraft does not appear on your AvPlan device and you expect it to, make sure `Sync Aircraft` is enabled on that AvPlan device.
