Associating Lessons with a Log
Summary
After a training session, associate the relevant course lessons with the student's log. From there, you can set lesson status, grade content items, log time and activity, and add notes—all in one place. Logs can include any lesson type: Ground Lessons, Flight Lessons, Progress Checks, or Stage Checks.
Who this is for
- Instructors documenting training sessions and grading student performance
Before you begin
- The student must be enrolled in a course
- You must be the instructor assigned to the log
- If the course is archived, all editing is disabled (read-only)
Steps
Adding lessons to a log
- Open the student's log and go to the Lesson tab
- Tap + to add a lesson
- If the student has multiple courses matching their ACS standard, select the course first
- Browse lessons organized by Stage, then by type: Ground Lesson, Flight Lesson, Progress Check, or Stage Check
- Tap to select one or more lessons
- Tap Save

- Time and activity data contributes to the student's training totals
- The student can view their grades and notes in the app
- Progress Checks and Stage Checks affect stage completion tracking
Common issues
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cannot add lessons | Course is archived | Archived courses are read-only; contact an admin |
| Lesson shows "Assigned" and cannot be selected | Already completed on another log | Only incomplete or retry lessons can be reassigned |
| No grading options appear | Course has no grading method configured | Admin must set grading methodology in course settings |
| "No Matching Courses Found" | Student not enrolled or ACS mismatch | Verify student enrollment and ACS standard |
| Cannot edit time & activity | You are not the log owner | Only the instructor who owns the log can edit |
How this works
Grading methodology: Ground lessons use the course's ground grading method (Traditional or Numerical). Flight lessons use the flight grading method (Traditional, Numerical, or FITS). Progress Checks and Stage Checks always use SAT/UNSAT only—the INC option is not available for checks, regardless of course settings.
FITS target grades: When using FITS grading, each content item may display a target grade (e.g., "Target Grade: Practice"). This indicates the expected proficiency level for that lesson.
Lesson reassignment: A lesson marked Incomplete or Retry on a previous log can be assigned to a new log. Lessons marked Complete or assigned as transferred credit cannot be reassigned.
Transferred credit: Lessons assigned without a log (transferred credit) are permanently locked. This applies only to Ground and Flight lessons, not Progress or Stage Checks.
Multiple lessons: When a log has multiple lessons assigned, each appears as an expandable card. Tap to expand and access grading, status, and notes for that lesson.
