Profile and Pilot Type Settings

Manage your AeroCopilot pilot profile, Part 107 dates, IMSAFE check, home airport, type ratings, and locale from your account settings.

Profile and Pilot Type Settings

Your AeroCopilot account is more than a login — it is the pilot profile that powers compliance countdowns, AI tool grounding, and personalized briefings. This page explains where each setting lives and what depends on it.

Where to find it

Two routes hold most of your personal configuration:

  • /account/profile — pilot certificates entry points and the Part 107 / IMSAFE quick-edit form
  • /settings/preferences — home airport, active type rating, captured type ratings, alert preferences, and theme

Pilot certificates and medical

The profile page exposes two large CTA cards that hand you off to the canonical surfaces:

  • Manage certificates routes to /compliance/certificates, the single source of truth for your PPL, IR, CPL, ATP, CFI, BFR, and currency records.
  • Manage medical routes to /compliance/medical for FAA medical class, issued date, and expiration.

We deliberately avoid duplicating those forms inside the profile page so you never have two slightly different copies of a single fact.

Part 107 quick edit

If you fly drones under 14 CFR Part 107, the profile page lets you store three fields directly:

  • Certificate number — your FAA Remote Pilot Certificate number (for example 4123456 or FA-1234567). Optional and stored only on your account.
  • Initial issue date — the date your remote pilot certificate was first issued.
  • Last recurrent training — your most recent ALC-677 completion date. AeroCopilot uses this to compute the 24 calendar month countdown required by 14 CFR 107.65 and surfaces it on the drone compliance dashboard.

These dates power the recurrent training banner and the IMSAFE prompts on the safety page. Personal certificate information stays private to your account; we do not share it with the FAA, employers, or other pilots.

IMSAFE self-assessment

The same form tracks your last IMSAFE check (Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, Emotion) per FAA AC 60-22. Update it on each flying day. The Safety dashboard reads this field directly and warns you when it goes stale.

Home airport, locale, and type ratings

Open /settings/preferences to set:

  • Home airport — used by AI tools and weather defaults so a "what is my weather" question knows where "here" is.
  • Active type rating — the type-rating designation AeroCopilot will treat as your current operating type. The selector is filled from the captured type ratings on your PilotRating records, so any rating you have logged is one click away.
  • Captured type ratings — read-only summary of distinct type-rating designations on file.
  • LSR certifications — Light Sport Repairman entries (Maintenance or Inspection) with cert number, issue date, and optional expiration.
  • Theme — light, dark, or system (when the theme toggle feature flag is enabled).

What depends on these settings

A handful of downstream surfaces read directly from your profile, so keeping them current pays off:

  • The drone compliance dashboard reads Part 107 dates for recurrency banners.
  • The safety page reads imsafeLastChecked for the daily IMSAFE prompt.
  • AI tools resolve "home airport" and "my aircraft" using the preferences above.
  • Personalized weather, TFR, and NOTAM alerts respect the toggles documented in the notifications guide below.
  • Email and Push Notifications — /help/account/notifications
  • Installing AeroCopilot as a Mobile App (PWA) — /help/account/mobile-pwa
  • Team and Organization Accounts — /help/account/team-organization
  • Compliance certificates and medical — /compliance/certificates, /compliance/medical
