My Hangar

My Hangar is your personal aircraft fleet manager inside Flight Deck ONE. It lets you store, organise, and quickly access every aircraft you fly in X-Plane — complete with location tracking, maintenance records, and a live map view. This guide covers every screen and every action available in the feature.

1. Hangar Overview

Open My Hangar from the sidebar. The main screen shows all aircraft you have added, organised into sections:

  • Favourites — aircraft you have starred, sorted alphabetically.
  • Recent — the last five aircraft you flew, most recent first.
  • Groups — any custom groups you have assigned, each in its own section. Aircraft without a group appear under Others.

The toolbar at the top gives you quick access to the most common actions: Button What it does View mode picker (left) Switch between Regular, Compact, and List layouts. Map icon Open or close the side-panel Map View. Info icon Open the inspector for the selected aircraft. Load icon Load the selected aircraft’s saved situation into X-Plane. Bring Home icon Teleport the selected aircraft to its base airport. + (top right) Add the aircraft currently loaded in X-Plane to your hangar.

Search

A search bar appears below the toolbar. Typing filters aircraft in real time across: name, model, manufacturer, company, registration, base airport, and current airport. Clear the field to show all aircraft again.

Empty Hangar

If no aircraft have been added yet, a prompt will appear inviting you to import the aircraft currently loaded in X-Plane. This is the fastest way to get started.


2. View Modes

Use the segmented picker in the top-left to change how aircraft are displayed.

Regular Grid

Cards are sized between 240 pt and 340 pt wide. Each card shows a thumbnail, registration, name, location, and a health bar. This is the default and recommended view for most screen sizes.

Compact Grid

Smaller cards with the thumbnail removed. Useful when you have a large fleet and want to see more aircraft at once.

List

A table with columns for Name, Registration, Model, Current Location, Base, Group, and Last Flown date. Every row has a context menu (right-click or long-press) with the same actions as the card context menu.


3. Aircraft Cards

Each aircraft card shows a summary of one aircraft at a glance.

Card Layout

  • Top row — Registration in monospaced text on the left; company name below it in grey.
  • Title — Aircraft display name (Manufacturer + Model) in bold.
  • Thumbnail — A photo you assign to the aircraft. If none is set, a type icon is shown instead.
  • Footer — Current airport code (or In Flight in magenta if airborne), and base airport with a house icon.
  • Health bar — A thin strip at the bottom of the card, colour-graded from red (0%) to green (100%).

Load Button

When viewing an aircraft (not in edit mode) that has a saved situation file, a green Load button appears. Tapping it closes the inspector and loads the situation directly into X-Plane.


5. Map View

Press the Map button in the toolbar to open a side panel showing a live geographic view of your fleet and the surrounding airspace.

What Is Shown on the Map

  • Your current aircraft — Large icon rotated to match its heading. Always displayed, never hidden in a cluster.
  • Hangar aircraft — Blue icons at each aircraft’s last known airport.
  • Nearby airports — Colour-coded by type; labelled with ICAO/IATA codes.
  • Navaids — Purple icons (VOR, NDB, DME, etc.) with frequency information.
  • Custom pins — Red markers you drop manually onto the map.
  • Flight path — A colour-graded line showing your current flight: yellow (climb), purple (cruise), green (descent).
  • Runway overlays — Centreline and rectangle drawn on the selected airport’s runways.

Map Controls

Control Function Search icon Show the search bar. Type 4+ characters to find airports, navaids, or hangar aircraft. Filter icon Toggle which airport types and navaid types are visible. Centre icon Jump the camera to the current aircraft’s position. Follow toggle Keep the map continuously centred on the current aircraft. User location toggle Centre the map on your device’s GPS location instead of the aircraft. Satellite toggle Switch between standard and satellite/hybrid map style (satellite also enables 3-D buildings and globe view). Global search toggle Expand the airport search radius from 100 km to 2,000 km. Rotate toggle Rotate the map to match the current aircraft’s heading.

Searching the Map

  1. Tap the search icon to open the search bar.
  2. Type at least 4 characters.
  3. A results list appears, sorted by distance, showing matching airports, Points of Interest, and hangar aircraft.
  4. Tap a result to fly the camera to that location.

Filtering Airports and Navaids

Tap the filter icon to open the filter popover. Use the toggles to show or hide specific airport types (large, medium, small, heliport, seaplane base, etc.) and navaid types (VOR, NDB, DME, TACAN, etc.). Use Select All or Deselect All to reset quickly.

Tapping an Annotation

Tap any icon on the map to open its callout:

  • Airport callout — Shows name, ICAO/IATA, runway list with lengths, co-located navaids, and action buttons to position the aircraft at that airport or a specific runway threshold.
  • Navaid callout — Shows type, frequency, and coordinates.
  • Aircraft callout — Shows name, registration, base, and current location, plus Load and Edit buttons.

When many annotations are close together, they are merged into a cluster bubble showing a count. Tap the cluster to see a list of the items inside it. The current aircraft is always shown as a standalone icon and is never clustered.


6. Managing Aircraft

Adding an Aircraft

  1. Load the aircraft in X-Plane first.
  2. In My Hangar, tap the + button in the top-right corner.
  3. Flight Deck ONE reads the aircraft’s name, type, and current position and creates a new entry in your hangar.

Loading a Saved Situation

Select an aircraft in the hangar, then tap the Load button in the toolbar (or use the context menu, or the Load button inside the inspector). X-Plane will restore the aircraft to exactly where it was when the situation was last saved.

Bringing an Aircraft Home

Select an aircraft and tap Bring Home in the toolbar. The aircraft will be repositioned at its base airport. You can set or update the base airport at any time from the inspector’s Situation section or via the context menu’s Set as Base Location action.

Updating Aircraft Data

If you switch aircraft in X-Plane after saving a hangar entry, the hangar card will show an indicator that a different aircraft is loaded. Tap Update Aircraft Data in the context menu to sync the hangar record with the aircraft currently in X-Plane.

Organising with Groups and Favourites

  • Favourites — Tap the heart icon on a card to add it to the Favourites section at the top of the hangar.
  • Groups — Open the inspector, tap Edit, and type a group name in the Group field. All aircraft sharing the same group name will be shown together under that group heading.

Deleting an Aircraft

Right-click a card (or use the context menu in list view) and choose Delete. A confirmation alert will appear before the aircraft is permanently removed.


7. Maintenance & Health

Flight Deck ONE tracks wear and usage for every aircraft in your hangar. The data is visible in the inspector’s Health & Maintenance section and summarised by the health bar on each card.

Health Percentage

The health bar and percentage value reflect the aircraft’s overall maintenance condition. The bar colour transitions from red at 0% to green at 100%. As the aircraft accumulates hours and cycles since its last maintenance event, the health figure decreases.

Maintenance Fields

Field Description Health Computed percentage representing current airworthiness (read-only). Hours Since Maintenance Air hours accumulated since the last maintenance reset. Cycles Since Maintenance Number of flight cycles since the last maintenance reset. Maintenance Due At Hours The hour threshold at which maintenance becomes due (editable). Maintenance Due At Cycles The cycle threshold at which maintenance becomes due (editable). Total Air Hours Lifetime air hours for this aircraft (read-only). Total Block Hours Lifetime block hours for this aircraft (read-only). Total Cycles Lifetime flight cycles (read-only). Total Landings Lifetime landing count (read-only).

Resetting Maintenance

Open the inspector, tap Edit, then tap the lightning bolt () icon next to the health bar. This zeros the Hours Since Maintenance and Cycles Since Maintenance counters and restores the health to 100%. The lifetime totals are not affected. The same action is also available from the context menu on any card.

Setting Maintenance Thresholds

  1. Open the inspector for the aircraft.
  2. Tap Edit.
  3. Enter your target values in Maintenance Due At Hours and Maintenance Due At Cycles.
  4. Tap Save.

When either threshold is reached, the health percentage will drop to 0% and the bar will turn red, indicating the aircraft is due for maintenance.
