Internal notes about the aircraft
The homebase is important for quote calculations:
Positioning flights — If a trip doesn't start at homebase, AeroQuote calculates ferry flight costs
Return positioning — After a one-way trip, the aircraft needs to return home
Availability — Fleet timeline assumes aircraft are at homebase when not scheduled
Set the homebase to where the aircraft is normally parked overnight. This ensures accurate positioning cost calculations.
Selecting the correct aircraft type is crucial because it:
Determines available performance data templates
Affects fuel burn calculations
Influences landing fee estimates
Sets passenger expectations
Toggle an aircraft to Inactive when:
It's undergoing maintenance
It's been sold or retired
You temporarily don't want it included in quotes
Inactive aircraft don't appear in quote options but their historical data is preserved.
