End of day

Tonight’s Stack

How to read this:

Leave out (gold) — early birds eligible to stay out for an early departure tomorrow. Mark Fueled / Left Out, then Confirm. Don’t hangar these.
Put away — on the line now with nothing left today. Tap Put Away to move it back to the hangar (it reappears on the Line Board if a reservation pops up).

Early-bird rules: 152 / 172N, departing tomorrow at or before 8:00 AM, arrived today at or before 9:30 PM. “Should Fuel?” = instructed flight on a 172N. Auto-refreshed at 4:00 PM Chicago — click Refresh Now if the schedule changed.

Use as a guide — if anything looks off, ping Nicholas.
