Endorsement issuance
Issue an endorsement and it becomes a row with its expiry, the issuing CFI, and the stored signed document; renewals preserve the history. You can see whose endorsements are about to lapse instead of finding out at the next lesson. It replaces endorsements scattered across paper and text threads.
Launching the first quarter of 2027.

Who it's for
The independent CFI who needs to see whose endorsements are about to lapse before the next lesson, with the issuing CFI and the signed document on every row.
What it replaces
The endorsements scattered across paper logbooks and text threads.
What endorsement issuance gives you
- Each endorsement a row with expiry and issuing CFI
- Stored signed document; renewals preserve the history
- Lapsing endorsements visible before the next lesson
A row per endorsement, expiry and document and all
When an independent CFI issues an endorsement, it becomes a row carrying its expiry, the issuing CFI, and the stored signed document — instead of a note in a paper logbook or a text thread. You issue an endorsement to a student and attach the signed document, which is stored right on the row.
- Each endorsement a row with expiry and issuing CFI
- Stored signed document; renewals preserve the history
Renewals preserve history, lapses surface early
A renewal preserves the history rather than overwriting it, so the full record is there for the file. The CFI sees whose endorsements are about to lapse before the next lesson, not after — so a lapsing endorsement surfaces ahead of time rather than being found at the next lesson.

Questions
Endorsement issuance — frequently asked
Can I track endorsements per student?
Yes. Each endorsement is a row with its expiry, the issuing CFI, and a stored signed document. Renewals preserve the history so the full record stays intact.
Where do my endorsements live instead of paper?
On the student's record as dated rows, so endorsements stop being scattered across paper logbooks and text threads — and lapsing ones surface before the next lesson.
