Baseleg Docs

Capabilities

Baseleg is organized around eight operational capabilities, each corresponding to a bounded context. The v1 spine (People, Aircraft, Scheduling) is the primary focus; the remaining capabilities are intentionally lite until the spine is stable.

People

Manage everyone associated with the organisation.

  • Member management: Register and maintain member profiles including contact details, roles, and membership status.
  • Role assignment: A member can be a Student, an Instructor, Staff, or any combination of these.
  • Instructor management: Track instructor authorisations and assign instructors to bookings.
  • Student management: Track student enrolment and link training records.

Aircraft

Manage the fleet and its operational state.

  • Aircraft registry: Maintain a record of every aircraft in the fleet with registration, type, and details.
  • Airworthiness state: Track whether each aircraft is available or grounded.
  • Grounded protection: A grounded aircraft cannot be booked or flown. Grounding requires a reason and can only be cleared by authorised personnel.
  • Fleet visibility: At-a-glance view of which aircraft are available, grounded, or out of service.

Scheduling

Coordinate bookings across members and aircraft.

  • Booking creation: Create a booking allocating an aircraft (and optionally an instructor) to a member for a time range.
  • Conflict detection: The system automatically prevents overlapping bookings for the same aircraft or instructor.
  • Grounded-aircraft protection: Attempting to book a grounded aircraft is rejected at the domain layer.
  • Calendar view: View bookings in list and calendar formats, filterable by aircraft, instructor, and member.
  • Booking management: Cancel or amend bookings with appropriate notifications.

Training (v1 lite)

Record and track training activity.

  • Lesson records: Log ground and flight lessons associated with a student and instructor.
  • Flight logging: Record actual flown events, linked to a booking or lesson.
  • Training progression: Track endorsements and training milestones over time.

v1 provides basic lesson and flight records. Full progression tracking and syllabus management come later.

Compliance (v1 lite)

Monitor currency and compliance requirements.

  • Currency tracking: Record and monitor time-sensitive compliance requirements (e.g. flight review, medical, check ride).
  • Compliance alerts: Notify relevant parties when a requirement is approaching expiry or has lapsed.
  • Document expiry: Track expiry dates for certificates and authorisations.

v1 provides basic alerts and currency tracking. Automated rule evaluation and complex compliance workflows come later.

Billing (v1 lite)

Track charges and prepare invoices.

  • Charge items: Record billable line items against a member or booking (aircraft hourly rate, instructor time, landing fees).
  • Invoice drafts: Compile charge items into a draft invoice for review before issuing.
  • Invoice lifecycle: Move invoices from draft through to issued and paid states.

v1 provides charge tracking and draft invoicing. Full payment processing and accounting integration come later.

Notifications (v1 lite)

Deliver communication events to members.

  • Email notifications: Send booking confirmations, compliance alerts, and operational updates via email.
  • SMS notifications: Deliver time-sensitive alerts via SMS where configured.
  • In-app notifications: Surface relevant events inside the Baseleg interface.

Notifications is an adapter context — it delivers events raised by other contexts rather than having its own domain logic.

Reporting (v1 lite)

Produce operational summaries and exports.

  • Operational reports: Summarise bookings, utilisation, and activity across a time period.
  • Member reports: Produce per-member activity and training summaries.
  • Data exports: Export booking, flight, and financial data in standard formats (CSV).

v1 provides basic reports and exports. Complex analytics and custom reporting come later.
