Reservation Conflicts

Overview

When you try to make a reservation that overlaps with an existing booking or maintenance, you'll encounter a conflict. Here's how to understand and resolve conflicts.

Why Did My Reservation Become a Backup?

Your reservation becomes a backup when it conflicts with:

• Another confirmed reservation for the same aircraft and time
• A maintenance block scheduled for that aircraft

What Are My Options?

Option 1: Keep the Backup

Leave your reservation as a backup. If the conflict clears (the other reservation is canceled), your backup will be automatically promoted to confirmed.

Option 2: Choose a Different Time

Cancel your backup and make a new reservation at a different time when the aircraft is available.

Option 3: Choose a Different Aircraft

If you have access to multiple aircraft, book a different one that's available at your preferred time.

How to See What's Blocking You

1. Open the calendar
2. Filter to show just the aircraft you want
3. Look at the time slot - you'll see the existing reservation (cyan) or maintenance block (red)

Contacting the Other Pilot

If you see who has the conflicting reservation, you might contact them to see if they can adjust their plans. Be courteous - they reserved first.

Tips

• Book early for popular times (weekends, good weather days).
• Be flexible with your schedule if possible.
• Check calendar availability before planning your flight.
