Rescheduling and cancelling lessons

There are three ways to change a lesson once it's on your week grid: drag to reschedule, click to edit, and cancel.

Drag to reschedule

Grab a lesson chip and drag it to a new time slot. The chip snaps in 15-minute steps. When you release:

• The linked schedule block moves with the lesson. The old slot is freed.
• The student gets a "Lesson rescheduled" notification.
• Conflicting bookings (your other lessons, your blocks marked unavailable) reject the drop with a clear toast.

This works for any lesson where you are the instructor. The platform's instructor endpoint rejects rescheduling someone else's lesson with a 404 — no information leak about the existence of that lesson.

Click to edit

Click on a lesson chip to open the edit dialog. You can change:

• Start and end time
• Aircraft
• Lesson type and notes

You can't change the instructor from this dialog — that field is locked to you. If a different CFI needs to take the lesson, cancel it and the student or school admin re-books with the right CFI.

Cancel

From the edit dialog, click Cancel lesson in the footer. You'll be asked for an optional reason ("Weather", "Aircraft maintenance", "Student illness"). On confirm:

• The lesson's status flips to cancelled.
• The student gets a notification with your reason.
• The linked schedule block is freed.
• Any pending payments are voided.

What happens to the aircraft reservation

If the lesson had an aircraft attached and the student had already checked out the plane, the reservation stays open — the student needs to return the aircraft normally. We don't auto-cancel reservations because the plane is, physically, still out.
