If you have selected a sortie to edit and it has appeared at the top of the Flight Academy Management screen, it will remain there until you select Update. If you want to discard changes you have made to the sortie, you must leave the page.
The Flight Academy Management screen is only used to release instructional sorties.
Glider Tow, relocation, cadet solo, etc. are released through the normal flight release process.
Cadets must have their “Solo Pilot” qualification in Ops/Quals before they can be released for solo flights.
If a pilot has pending releases for multiple aircraft models, only those for the model used on the first sortie will appear. Once those are released, the sorties for the other model of aircraft will appear.
