Hello Mark, not sure if you were asking for AFTA use or in general. Please add a little more information. Thank you.
I signed up a PPL candidate today who was already an AOPA member. He subscribed through the signup page on AOPA ( https://www.aopa.org/training-and-safety/flight-schools/aopa-flight-training-advantage ). I had tried to add him through my portal, but could not get it to work. A short tutorial on the forum here or on the video library would be helpful.
Now, here's my question. I'm back at home now and wanted to assign his first lesson but I am not seeing him on my ... more

Hi Ed, I think I worked with you on this. Please let me know. I believe you successfully added that student after we spoke. However, your suggestion is being taken seriously. I will be creating many tutorials for almost everything going forward. Please be patient as those are created. Thanks again.

Hello Ed, another good question. AFTA will run on almost any iPad/iOS. We can only actually support from iOS 12 and up with certain hardware. iPad Air 2 and up is the least. However, as always, you are better off having newer hardware with the latest iOS. Thanks Ed.
I don't have a simulator at my school, but I can see that I can add aircraft under here as well. Why would I do this? I work freelance. Some of the time I am training out of T74 and using rental aircraft from a rental company there. Some of the time I am training out of GTU using my student's planes. Should these planes be added? Is there a away to assign a student to a specific location?

William, thank you for your question. The airplane asset is a remnant of the original build before we integrated with third-party schedulers. You don't need to add aircraft to your AFTA Owner's Portal.
Currently, you can not assign a student to a specific location as the student can be seen by all locations and all instructors. If you assign the student an instructor that instructor becomes the student's primary CFI. This makes that student appear on that instructor's iPad dashboard and list of students. If you do NOT assign the student a primary instructor that student will still be viewable by all instructors but in the +Temp student screen of the iPad (in My Students).
