Add an asset
Add an aircraft to a syndicate.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- Only owners and admins can add assets.
- On the free tier a syndicate is capped at one asset. If you already have one, adding a second prompts you to upgrade. On web the upgrade dialog opens a checkout in a new tab; on mobile an upgrade email is sent automatically. See Free-tier limits.
- Today, only Aircraft can be added through the UI. Other asset types (boat, property, vehicle) exist in the database but aren’t yet creatable from the app. The screen title is Add Aircraft for this reason.
- Open the syndicate and switch to the Assets tab.
- Tap the Add Aircraft floating action button (bottom right), or — if the syndicate has no assets yet — the Add Aircraft button on the empty state.
- Enter a Name (up to 100 characters). A registration-based name is typical, for example
G-ABCD. - Optionally enter a Registration Number (up to 50 characters). Most UK aircraft use the format
G-ABCD; the field uppercases automatically. - Optionally enter a Description (up to 500 characters) — a brief note for co-members.
- Enter the aircraft’s current Total airframe hours. This is your starting meter reading — all future usage logs are computed against this baseline. Enter
0if you’re starting fresh, or the live airframe-hour figure from the tech log otherwise. - Optionally enter the Home Airfield as an ICAO code, e.g.
EGMC. The field uppercases automatically. - Tap Add Aircraft.
You land on the asset detail screen and a snackbar confirms Asset created successfully.
What to do next
Section titled “What to do next”- Upload a photo — see Upload an asset photo.
- Set up rates on Billing & Rates — see Billing & Rates.
- If you have more than one asset, per-asset billing screens become available. The same settings that live on the syndicate as defaults gain a Default prefix, and each asset gets its own billing screen. See Default and per-asset settings.
If it goes wrong
Section titled “If it goes wrong”- Upgrade dialog appears instead of the form. You’ve hit the one-asset free-tier limit. On web, tap Upgrade Now; on mobile, check your inbox for the upgrade email. See Upgrade prompt.
- “Please enter a valid positive number” under Total airframe hours. You entered a non-numeric or negative value. Enter a whole or decimal number, e.g.
1250or1250.3. - “Name must be between 1 and 100 characters”. Adjust the name length.
