# How to Manage FBO Units

> Configure and maintain hangars, tiedowns, and ramp spaces in the FBO module.

This guide helps you add and configure the physical spaces at your FBO -- hangars, tiedowns, and ramp positions -- so they are available for bookings and correctly classified.

<Info>
  **Who should read this:** FBO managers and facility administrators.

  **Prerequisites:** The FBO module must be enabled. An admin role is required for most unit configuration tasks.
</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 **Operations Center** (**FBO** in the sidebar) displays a **Hangar Occupancy** KPI card
  showing the current occupancy percentage with a 30-day trend. Use it for a quick facility overview
  before diving into individual unit details.
</Tip>

## Add a New Unit

<Steps>
  ### Step 1: Open the units page

  Navigate to **FBO > Units** in the sidebar and click **Add Unit**.

  ### Step 2: Name the unit

  Enter a clear, identifiable name (e.g., "T-Hangar 7", "Tiedown C-12", "Ramp East 3").

  ### Step 3: Select the unit type

  Choose the type that classifies this unit. If you have not created unit types yet, see [Add a Unit Type](#add-a-unit-type) below.

  ### Step 4: Set dimensions

  Enter the **Length** and **Width** in feet. These help match aircraft to appropriately sized spaces.

  ### Step 5: Configure capacity and pricing

  Set the **Max Guests** (simultaneous aircraft) and assign a **Rate Code** from **FBO > Rates**.

  ### Step 6: Save

  The unit is created with a default status of `available`.
</Steps>

## Change a Unit's Status

To change a unit's status, open the unit detail view and update the Status field. If you want to take a unit offline for maintenance, set it to `maintenance` and create a corresponding maintenance record. If you want to decommission a unit seasonally, set it to `inactive`.

<Note>
  For the full list of unit statuses and their effects on bookings, see [FBO
  Statuses](/en/reference/fbo-statuses).
</Note>

## Add a Unit Type

If you want to classify your facility's spaces (e.g., T-Hangar, Corporate Hangar, Tiedown), create unit types before adding units.

<Steps>
  ### Step 1: Open the unit types page

  Navigate to **FBO > Unit Types** in the sidebar and click **Add Type**.

  ### Step 2: Name and describe the type

  Enter a **Name** (e.g., "T-Hangar", "Executive Hangar", "Ramp Tiedown") and an optional **Description**.

  ### Step 3: Save

  The unit type is now available when creating or editing units.
</Steps>

## Check Unit Availability

If you want to confirm a unit is free before creating a booking, use the Availability view.

<Steps>
  ### Step 1: Open the availability page

  Navigate to **FBO > Availability** in the sidebar.

  ### Step 2: Set the date range

  Enter a **Start Date** and **End Date**, then click **Update**. The summary cards show total, available, occupied, and maintenance unit counts for the selected period.

  ### Step 3: Review individual units

  Each unit appears as a card showing its current state -- available, occupied (with booking details), or under maintenance.
</Steps>

## Schedule Maintenance

<Steps>
  ### Step 1: Open the maintenance page

  Navigate to **FBO > Maintenance** and click **Schedule Maintenance**.

  ### Step 2: Describe the work

  Enter a **Title** (e.g., "Hangar door repair", "Ramp resurfacing") and select the **Unit** undergoing maintenance.

  ### Step 3: Set the maintenance window

  Enter the **Start Date** and **End Date** for the planned work.

  ### Step 4: Set the priority

  Choose **Low**, **Normal**, **High**, or **Urgent** based on the urgency.

  ### Step 5: Save

  The record is created in `scheduled` status. As work progresses, update the status to `In Progress` and then `Completed`. When maintenance is finished, update the unit's status back to `available`.
