How to delete multiple flights

Deleting multiple flights is as easy as deleting a single flight. If I wanted to delete the three flights from April 10th, I'd click on the box next to each flight to select them. With the flights selected, I would click on the trash can icon.

I would like to delete some flight records on my QFES Airdata Account. The flights I wish to delete are those prior to 19 April 2023. My account does not show a rubbish bin so that I can delete those flights.

If I delete some older flights, will they also be removed from my heat map. I am nearing the 3000 limit, and need to make room, but like the heat map data.

Hello,

Thank you for writing with this question.

When your account approaches the 3000-flight limit, our system will automatically archive your older flights according to the retention period specified by your plan. Users do not need to delete flights. During the Archive Period, your flight data will be securely stored, and you can choose to upgrade your plan at any time to restore these flights from the archive. However, please note that once the Archive Period ends, flight data will no longer be accessible.

For more detailed information regarding archived flights and how they are managed, please feel free to review our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, which can be found here: airdata.com

As for your inquiry about the impact on your heat map, I'd like to clarify that archived flights are in fact included in the heat map. The heat map feature reflects both your active and archived flight data.

If you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated support team at support@airdata.com. We are here to ensure that you have the best possible experience while using our platform and are more than happy to assist you in any way we can.

Best Regards,

Is there a setting within AIRDATA that hides the trash can for deleting flight records? The trash bin doesn't appear where it should be located.

Hi Bryan,

Thank you for posting this question.

Typically, this happens because a user does not have the required permissions on their account to delete items.
You can read more about this in our help article: "Adding new users and pilots"

We would need to see your account details to know for certain why you are not seeing the Delete option.
If you have further questions on this, please send us an email at support@airdata.com

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Tom

I followed your instructions for deleting flights but I am not showing a trash can icon on my screen. I refreshed my screen and it still does not show up. What should I do?

This typically happens because a user does not have the required permissions on their account to delete items. In instances like these, we recommend reaching out to your account administrator to inquire about enabling permissions to delete flights.
