# How to Manage the FBO Flight Board

> Track aircraft arrivals and departures on the FBO flight board, manage movement records, assign service orders, and monitor real-time ramp activity.

This guide helps you use the FBO flight board to track aircraft movements, manage arrival and departure records, and coordinate service orders for each movement.

<Info>
  **Who should read this:** FBO managers, line service coordinators, ramp supervisors, and front desk staff responsible for tracking aircraft arrivals, departures, and on-ground activity.

  **Prerequisites:** No additional setup is required. The flight board is available as soon as the FBO module is enabled.
</Info>

<Info>
  The FBO module must be enabled for your workspace. Contact your workspace administrator if you do
  not see the FBO section in the sidebar.
</Info>

<Tip>
  The **Flight Board** (**FBO > Flight Board**) provides a real-time view of all aircraft movements. Use the **Arrivals** and **Departures** tabs to focus on inbound or outbound traffic, or view all movements together on the main board.
</Tip>

## View the Flight Board

Navigate to **FBO > Flight Board** to see today's aircraft movements. Each movement card shows:

* **Tail Number** and **Aircraft Type** -- the aircraft identity and category
* **Direction** -- inbound, outbound, or on ground
* **Status** -- confirmed, tentative, in progress, completed, delayed, or cancelled
* **ETA / ETD** -- estimated times of arrival or departure
* **Operator** -- the aircraft operator or management company
* **POB** -- persons on board
* **Parking** -- assigned parking location
* **VIP flag** -- highlighted for VIP aircraft
* **Customs** -- domestic or international customs status

Use the **Arrivals** and **Departures** sub-tabs to filter the board by direction.

## Add a Movement

<Steps>
  ### Step 1: Click New Movement

  Click **New Movement** in the flight board header.

  ### Step 2: Enter aircraft details

  Fill in the required fields:

  | Field             | Description                                            |
  | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
  | **Tail Number**   | The aircraft registration (e.g., N12345). Required.    |
  | **Aircraft Type** | Aircraft type designator (e.g., C560, G650). Required. |
  | **Direction**     | Select **Inbound**, **Outbound**, or **On Ground**.    |
  | **Movement Date** | The date of the movement.                              |

  ### Step 3: Enter timing and routing

  * **ETA** -- estimated time of arrival (for inbound movements)
  * **ETD** -- estimated time of departure (for outbound movements)
  * **Origin** -- departure airport (for inbound movements)
  * **Destination** -- arrival airport (for outbound movements)

  ### Step 4: Add operator and passenger details (optional)

  * **Operator** -- the aircraft management company or owner
  * **POB** -- persons on board count
  * **Customs** -- set to "International" if customs clearance is required

  ### Step 5: Assign parking (optional)

  Select a parking position from the available spots.

  ### Step 6: Save the movement

  Click **Save**. The movement appears on the flight board in **Confirmed** status.
</Steps>

## Update a Movement

Open a movement from the flight board to update its details. Common updates include:

* **Status changes** -- advance from **Confirmed** to **In Progress** when the aircraft begins taxi, and to **Completed** when it arrives at the gate or departs
* **Actual times** -- record the actual arrival or departure time when the event occurs
* **Parking changes** -- reassign parking if the original spot becomes unavailable
* **Delay notation** -- set status to **Delayed** and update the ETA/ETD

<Note>
  Movement statuses track the aircraft's lifecycle at your facility. The full set of movement
  statuses is: `confirmed`, `tentative`, `in_progress`, `completed`, `delayed`, and `cancelled`.
</Note>

## Assign Service Orders to a Movement

Each movement can have one or more service orders attached. See [Manage FBO Ramp Services](/en/how-to/fbo/manage-ramp-services) for the full service order workflow. From the flight board, you can quickly add services:

<Steps>
  ### Step 1: Open the movement detail

  Click a movement on the flight board to view its detail page.

  ### Step 2: Add a service order

  Click **Add Service** in the Services section. Select the service type (fuel, GPU, lavatory, de-icing, catering, detailing, or custom).

  ### Step 3: Assign and track

  Assign the service to a team member if needed. The service order status tracks independently from the movement status.
</Steps>

## View the Activity Log

Each movement has an activity timeline that records all events -- arrival, departure, service updates, fuel orders, notes, and status changes. Open the movement detail and scroll to the **Activity** section to review the full history.
