Web Dashboard Overview

The web dashboard gives owners and admins a full view of group finances, flight history, maintenance, and more — optimized for a desktop browser.

What is the Web Dashboard?

The web dashboard is a companion to the mobile app, designed for a larger screen. While the app handles day-to-day flying — logging flights, booking time, checking currency — the dashboard is where you manage maintenance, financials, and the administrative side of things.

Access it at blueskyapplications.com/5-by-5/dashboard and log in with the same credentials you use on the mobile app.

The web dashboard is available on paid plans (Solo and Club). Free tier users are not able to access it.

Overview Page

When you log in, you land on the Overview — a single-page summary of everything happening with your airplane.
