Tracking your training progress

Training in the sidebar is your view of progress toward your target license. The page is split into two halves: deterministic progress numbers (rules-engine) on top, and AI-generated next-step recommendations below.

Progress bars

For each requirement in your license (total time, PIC time, cross-country time, solo time, night time, instrument time, three-takeoff-and-landings currency, etc.), the page shows:

• Hours logged toward the requirement — only counting approved entries
• Hours remaining — the target minus what you have
• Training velocity — your average hours-per-week over the past 60 days, with an estimated completion date

The math is deterministic — same input, same output. No AI is involved in the percentages.

Why approved entries only

Draft and pending entries are excluded from progress calculations. The reasoning:

• A draft might be edited before submission.
• A pending entry could be rejected by your CFI.
• Counting them risks misleading you into thinking you're closer to a milestone than you are.

If you want to see "what would my progress look like if all pending entries were approved", use the Include pending toggle at the top right. It shows you both numbers for comparison.

License requirements

The exact list of requirements depends on what license you've set as your target. Settings → Profile → Target license drives this. If you change your target mid-training, the page recomputes — your hours flown don't change, just which requirements they map to.

Checkride readiness

A separate Checkride ready indicator appears near the top once you've met every requirement on your license. It also surfaces in the CFI's view of your profile. Hitting it doesn't mean you are ready — it means the hours math says you've met the minimums. Your CFI still has to recommend you, and you still have to pass the oral and the flight test.
