Shelters/rescues would be able to create a profile with ARF with the basic
info we need from them
Shelters/rescues would be able to fill out a flight request form with the
info we need for flight planning. It would be queued to our flight?coordinators
for approval. When approved, the shelter/rescue would get an automatic email of
confirmation (or rejection if not approved)
Pilots and volunteers would be able to create a profile with ARF with the
basic info we need from them
The flight coordinator would be able to create a flight plan and post it for
all to see...an automatic message would go out to the person who requested it
and an automatic email would go out to all pilots within XX nm from the flight
path
Pilots would be able to sign up for legs of the flight. Their request would
be sent to a flight coordinator for approval. An email message would be sent
with approval/decline (we'd reject the request if we had multiple
volunteers...we pick one and the rest would be declined)
The day prior to the flight, a final flight sheet would be produced and
automatically mailed to the pilots, senders, receivers, and requesters. It would
include information as shown in the attachment. Separately, we could send out a
"GO / NO-GO email" when we know a flight will or will not happen
The day after a flight, an email would automatically go out to the pilots
asking them to complete a flight report. This info would be used for end of year
tax reporting for the pilots.
There would be some basic reporting...number of flights, number of animals,
trips by state of origination, trips by state of destination, etc. This
information will be useful for PR and eventually for fund-raising.
I'd love it if this program was usable for flight plans *and* ground
plans...we could really help the whole transport process for everyone involved
much more efficient...I've been working with someone on a concept of a
central?rescue transport?site and this could be it.

Coordinator approve and notify
Coordinator enters prospective missions detail page including the number of animals,
beginning and end states, beginning and end suggested airports and an estimate of required
duration of flight. This is transmitted to the schedule page.
Pilot or Driver selects a leg and fills in information such as time of day he can perform
the leg and possibly insert or change a terminus. A pilot/driver-suggested change of terminus
or time is highlighted in pink until a connecting pilot/dirver confirms the change.
Each element of the schedule can be double-clicked to open another page where
information concerning the element can be viewed or updated.
