Mentor programme

An airline can pair a new pilot with an experienced pilot for their first flights. The mentor reads each new PIREP, leaves a short note and signs the new pilot off when they're ready. Staff turn it on under Staff › Airline settings › Optional features › Mentor programme.

For a new pilot

When staff pair you with a mentor, you get a notification and a Mentoring card on your dashboard. Open Training › Mentoring to see:

your mentor, and since when;
the PIREPs you've filed since then, each with your mentor's note.

Your mentor sees only the PIREPs you file while you're paired, never older ones. Press End the mentoring if you'd rather fly on your own: your mentor no longer sees your flights, and you keep the notes.

For a mentor

Staff mark you as a mentor. On Training › Mentoring each of your new pilots has their own card with the PIREPs they filed since you were paired:

Type a note next to a flight (up to 500 characters): what went well, what to try next time.
Press Save. The pilot is told about your first note on each flight. An empty note deletes it.
When they're ready, press Sign off. The mentoring ends and the pilot is told they've finished.

End stops the mentoring without signing off. Once it has ended you no longer see any of their flights.

For staff

Staff › Training › Mentors (with the "Mentor programme" permission):

Make a mentor: pick a pilot and press Add. Stop mentoring ends their open pairings.
Pair a new pilot: pilots with fewer than 10 flights and no mentor are offered. A mentor has up to 5 new pilots at a time.
Open pairings: who mentors whom, since when, and End to stop one.

Every change is in the airline's audit log.
