Stage checks & endorsements

Scheduled → Pass / Fail → Re-check → Waive state machine; evaluator and CFI cert # captured.

Each enrollment's stage checks run a Scheduled → Pass / Fail → Re-check → Waive state machine, capturing the evaluator and the CFI certificate number for FAA-record fidelity. A failed stage check creates the re-check rather than overwriting the record, so the progression history stays intact. It replaces the per-stage sign-offs that get missed until the checkride.

Per-trainee endorsement history with expiry, issuing CFI, and stored signed document.

Every endorsement is a row per trainee carrying its expiry, the issuing CFI, and the stored signed document; a renewal creates a new row so the full history is preserved. You can see at a glance whose endorsements are lapsing. It replaces the endorsements scattered across paper logbooks and text threads.

Enrolled → started → stage 1/2/3 → completed conversion across the program.

A training funnel shows where students sit across enrolled → started → each stage → completed, so the chief instructor sees stall points instead of finding them at graduation. Progress updates automatically as lessons are logged. It replaces the Excel tracker that's never current.

Builds from completed training records; CSV export ready for IACRA.

The 8710-1 builds from completed training records and exports as IACRA-ready CSV, so applications aren't hand-filled per applicant. It replaces the per-student manual data entry that invites errors into FAA records.
