Owner statements fromthe records that ran the trips.
For aircraft management operators: per-aircraft billing rules, pass-through expenses routed automatically, and statements owners can actually read.
Three kinds of airplane. One ledger.
Each aircraft carries its own billing rules and cost flows. Charter revenue goes to customer invoices, managed activity to owner statements, owner flying to cost centers — automatically, from the same records.
Built where the money moves.
- Pilot expense uploads with receipts, tagged to vendor and aircraft
- Pass-through lines land on the right invoice or statement automatically
- Receipts attach to the invoice PDF as appendix pages
- FET handled correctly on charter; management items kept separate
- Owner visibility scoped to their aircraft, nothing else
- Two-way accounting sync — ledger and dispatch log agree
What is an owner statement in Contrails?
A full accounting of one managed aircraft for a period: revenue flying, owner flights, pass-through expenses with their receipts, management items, and the resulting balance — generated from the same trip and expense records that ran the operation, not retyped into a spreadsheet.
Can charter, managed, and owner-flown aircraft live on one certificate?
Yes. Contrails is configured per aircraft: different billing rules, different cost flows, and different visibility per tail. A charter airplane, a managed airplane, and an owner-flown airplane coexist cleanly.
How do expenses get onto the statement?
Pilots upload expenses from the field through the iOS app — the receipt image attaches, the expense is tagged to the right vendor and aircraft, and it flows to the right invoice or statement as a pass-through line. No separate expense software.
Can owners see their aircraft?
Owner visibility is scoped: an owner sees their aircraft's activity and statements — nothing else on the certificate.
Does it reconcile with our accounting system?
Two-way accounting sync keeps the ledger and the dispatch log in agreement, so the statement, the invoices, and the books all tell the same story.
