The Calendar lets you plan and schedule flights in advance — privately or as coordinated group events with other pilots.

The Calendar feature requires an active FlyAround subscription. Free trial accounts may have restricted access.

Opening the Calendar

Click Calendar in the main navigation menu.

Calendar Views

Month View

  • Shows the current month with all scheduled events on their dates
  • Click any date to see that day’s events or create a new one

Week View Panel

  • A 7-day timeline alongside the month view
  • Hour-by-hour scheduling grid
  • Color-coded blocks for busy/available slots
  • Click an empty slot to create an event at that time

Upcoming Events Sidebar

  • Lists your next scheduled events in chronological order
  • Shows event title, date/time, and type

Creating a Flight Event

  1. Click an empty slot in the Calendar or use the Create Event button
  2. Fill in the event details:
    • Title / Flight Description
    • Start date and time
    • End date and time
    • Event type (private or group/shared)
  3. Optionally attach an OFP to the event
  4. Save the event

Group Flights

With Group Flights enabled, you can:

  • Create shared events that other pilots can join
  • View the attendee list for a group flight event
  • Invite other pilots to join your scheduled flight

Pending Invitations

Open Pending Events from the Calendar section to manage invitations:

  • View the event details (briefing, route, time)
  • Accept to join the group flight
  • Reject to decline

Event Details View

Click any calendar event to open the Event Details dialog:

  • Full event summary and briefing
  • Date and time (displayed in UTC)
  • Attendee list (for group flights)
  • Associated OFP document
  • Edit or delete options

Starting a Scheduled Flight

When a scheduled event is approaching:

  1. Load the correct aircraft in MSFS
  2. Open the Dispatcher Wizard (“Time to Fly” on the map)
  3. The associated route will be pre-filled from the calendar event
  4. Complete the Dispatcher steps and confirm

After completing the flight, it links to the calendar event in your Logbook — visible under the Schedule tab of the flight detail view.

Calendar Notifications

FlyAround sends in-app reminders before scheduled events so you have time to load your aircraft and prepare.

Tips

  • All times are displayed in UTC for consistency across time zones.
  • Group flights are great for coordinating with friends or virtual airline crews.
  • You can have multiple events on the same day but only one active flight at a time.
