Flight Groups

As the name implies, a "flight group" contains multiple flights, typically with some association. Conducting a few flights in one location would be a good use case for a flight group.

How to create a flight group manually

To manually create a flight group, follow these quick steps:

1. Go to "My Logs" -> "Flights."
2. Select the flights you would like to group. 
3. Click on "Actions" -> "Group/Ungroup Flights."
4. Provide the group name, add notes (optional) and click "Save."
   
   

Automatic flight groups

AirData can automatically create flight groups for you. If this setting is enabled, flights that meet the following requirements will be grouped together:

• Took place on the same day
• Within 1 mile from one another

You can also choose from the options shown in the screenshot below.

To enable auto grouping, head to My Account -> Auto Grouping, and enable "Yes, automatically group newly uploaded flights.

How we name the group

• Every group name starts with the flight date.
• Then we add one of these, based on your switches:
  • Group by drone ON: we add the drone → “Oct 7, 2025 Mavic5”
  • Group by pilot ON: we add the pilot → “Oct 7, 2025 JordanLee”
  • Both ON: we add pilot and drone → “Oct 7, 2025 JordanLee Mavic5”
  • Both OFF: we add the city → “Oct 7, 2025 Boston”

After it’s made

• You can add or remove flights from the group at any time, just like any other group.
• You can rename the group.

Good to know

• Changes to these switches apply only to flights you upload from now on.
• Only flights that happened in the last 30 days will auto-group. Older flights won’t auto-group, even if you upload them today.

Enterprise Tip

• Flying multiple flights at the same location on the same day?
• Fill out the checklist once. The auto-group will reuse those answers for every flight in that group.

Viewing the flight group

A group can be expanded and collapsed - allowing for a tidy, organized flight list.

In addition to the structural benefits of a flight group, you'll notice some additional features with your newly created flight group. As seen below, the tracks for each flight are overlayed on one display map.

Note the tabs along the top row which provide additional information about the group:

• Attendance- This section lists the drones, batteries, and participants within the group.
• Flights- Included here is each flight within the group.
• Documents- Upload any documents that pertain to this flight group here.
• Checklists- If a checklist was completed for a flight within this group, you will see that completed checklist in this tab. If a checklist had not yet been completed, you can complete one here, and it will be assigned to each flight within the group. Note: checklists are an Enterprise feature.
