Schedule

The Schedule is your flying diary β€” a calendar-style agenda of every shoot that has a flight date on it. Step through it a day, a week, or a month at a time, and if you run more than one business, see the whole lot on a single timeline.

Where to find it #

Sidebar β†’ Fly β†’ Schedule

The Schedule lives in the Fly group. It appears once you run more than one business, or if you're an agency admin β€” a single-business pilot manages flight dates straight on the job instead. Every job with a Scheduled for date lands here automatically; there's nothing extra to add.

The schedule β€” day, week, and month views across every business you run.

Switch between Day, Week and Month #

Up top you'll find a Day / Week / Month toggle. Pick the zoom level that suits you β€” Day for a tight shot list, Week for the usual planning horizon (the default), Month for the big picture.

  1. Choose a view β€” tap Day, Week or Month. Switching keeps you roughly where you were looking, so you don't lose your place.
  2. Cycle periods with the arrows β€” the β€Ή and β€Ί buttons step back and forward one day, week, or month at a time. The label beside them names the period ("Jul 12 – Jul 18", "July 2026") and counts the shoots in it.
  3. Jump back with Today β€” arrow away from the present and a Today button appears on the right; tap it to snap back to the current period.
  4. Open a shoot β€” each row shows the time, the job title, and the client and address. Tap any row to open that job.

Get a shoot onto the Schedule #

A job shows up here the moment it has a flight date. You set that on the job itself, two ways:

  1. Type a date β€” on the job, use the Scheduled for field in the Schedule card to pick a date and time.
  2. Or tap a ranked flight window β€” the job's Flight windows card scores the next 7 days on wind, gusts, rain and light. Hit Schedule on the window you want and it drops that time onto the job, nudging a lead up to scheduled for you.
  3. Watch it land β€” the shoot now appears on the Schedule at that time, badged with its status (lead, scheduled, flown or delivered).
βœ… Worked example β€” Skyward Aerial books a golden-hour listing

Riley Chen at Skyward Aerial Co. picks a calm window for a Bluebird Realty listing, then checks the week to make sure it doesn't clash.

ScopeAll businessesSo the Cedar Ridge HOA and Northgate Construction jobs share the same timeline.

See every business at once #

Run more than one business β€” say Skyward Aerial plus a side venture β€” and a This business / All businesses toggle appears. Switch to All businesses and the Schedule pools every scheduled shoot onto one timeline. Each row gets a coloured bar and a chip naming its business (the same hue as its avatar in the account switcher), so you can tell a Cedar Ridge HOA flight from a Northgate Construction one at a glance.

πŸ”€ It refocuses for you

Tap a shoot from another business in the All-businesses view and Downlink quietly switches your active business to match before opening the job β€” so everything loads under the right roof. Your businesses otherwise stay walled off from one another; the Schedule is the one shared overview.

πŸ’‘ Nothing this week? Jump to what's next

Land on an empty period and the Schedule offers a Next shoot β†’ shortcut that hops straight to the period holding your next booking β€” no arrowing through quiet weeks. If it's empty because a job has no date yet, set a Scheduled for date (or pick a flight window) and it'll appear.
