# Viewing Aircraft

{% hint style="info" %}
This process works the same for both Fleet Manager & Pilot, and you can only see an aircraft if you're authorized to fly it.
{% endhint %}

When you initially login, you'll always be brought to the Aircraft page first. This page shows each aircraft you're authorized to fly, as well as which IFT drone it is, their names, and their status.

The 'Fleet Status' bar at the top of the page shows how many aircraft are set as either Available, Maintenance Required, Action Needed, or Out of Service.

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### Only Fleet Managers can change the status of an aircraft.

{% endhint %}

To view any aircrafts details, click on the aircraft and you'll be brought to the aircrafts detail page.
