9.1 Cash Flow Statement

Toolbar and info bar

• Export CSV — downloads the full transaction list (UTC, description, incomes, expenses, balance).
• Refresh — reloads everything from the server.
• Archives — when older monthly snapshots exist, pick a month and load it: a banner appears, the table shows that month, and the amount carried into it is displayed. Back to current returns to the live view.
• Report date — date and amount of the last OnAir financial report.
• Current Cash — real-time balance, with a sparkline. That trend is kept locally, per company, one sample per hour over a 15-day window, so it survives a restart.

List tab

A description filter narrows the rows. Columns show UTC time, description, income, expense and the balance after each transaction. Starting with Current Cash on the newest row, the calculation subtracts each amount to obtain the next older balance. Filtering hides rows without changing this calculation.

The dot classifies every row:

• Revenue (green) and Expense (red) — ordinary operations.
• Financial (blue) — loans, owner's equity, renting bonds, credit transfers. Capital movements, not operating profit or loss.
• Investment (purple) — aircraft bought or sold, FBO and workshop upgrades. Cash turns into an asset you still own, so these never reach the Income Statement: they appear here and on the Balance Sheet.

Hover a row to read its category and its full description. Weights inside descriptions follow your kg / lbs preference.

Chart tab

• Balance over time — end-of-day balance, grouped by day, oldest on the left.
• Income vs expenses — daily totals, expenses drawn as positive values.

9.2 Income Statement

The Income Statement shows your company's revenues and expenses over a period you choose. Unlike the Balance Sheet, which is frozen at the last report date, this page queries the server for any date range.

Choosing the period

The header shows the current UTC date and time, and two date fields set the interval:

• From — first day of the period, included.
• to — last day of the period; the whole day counts, up to midnight UTC of the next day.

Click Display to load. The last 7 days are pre-selected. The refresh button in the header reloads the same period.

Revenues and Expenses

• Revenues — every revenue account with its amount: charter flights, scheduled routes, FBO services, cargo, interest received. Total in yellow.
• Expenses — every expense account: fuel, landing and parking fees, wages, maintenance, insurance, loan repayments. Total in red.

Net income

The footer bar gives the Net Income for the period: revenues plus expenses, expenses being negative. Green when profitable, red when at a loss.

The investment notice

A notice sits at the top of the page for exactly one question: you bought or sold an aircraft and cannot find it below. That is expected. A purchase is an investment — cash converted into another asset you still own — not an expense, so it never belongs on an income statement. It appears instead on the Cash Flow Statement, on its own investment marker, and on the Balance Sheet, while this page keeps measuring operating performance alone. Close the notice with the cross and it stays closed on future visits.

Real-world accounting works the same way: under IFRS and US GAAP a capital purchase is capitalised, never expensed at the moment of purchase. What does land here is the cost of owning: weekly ownership fees, maintenance, fuel, crew wages, landing fees. Official references: SEC — Beginners' Guide to Financial Statements — sec.gov · IAS 7 — Statement of Cash Flows — ifrs.org · IAS 16 — Property, Plant & Equipment — ifrs.org. See also the OnAir Player Handbook, section 8.6.

9.3 Balance Sheet

The Balance Sheet displays your company's financial position at the date of the last financial report generated by OnAir. Assets and liabilities are fetched directly from the OnAir servers.

Refresh Button

The Refresh button in the top-right corner reloads the balance sheet from the server. Since the balance sheet is not updated in real time, use this button after triggering a new financial report inside OnAir.

Top Stat Cards

Three cards summarize your financial position, each with a rolling sparkline that tracks recent evolution (one data point every 5 minutes, stored locally):

• Total Assets (green) — Sum of all asset accounts returned by the server.
• Total Liabilities (red) — Sum of all liability accounts.
• Company Value (blue when positive, red when negative) — Total Assets minus Total Liabilities, i.e. the net equity of your company.

Sparklines only accumulate data while the dashboard is open. History resets if you close the application.

Assets / Liabilities Tables

Two side-by-side tables detail every accounting line returned by OnAir:

• Cash and Assets — Available cash, fleet value, FBO value, receivables, fuel inventory, ongoing missions, investments, etc.
• Liabilities and Equity — Outstanding bank loans, accounts payable, wages due, pending taxes, accrued charges, etc.

Each table displays a colored total at the bottom matching its corresponding stat card.

Company Value Footer Bar

A highlighted bar at the bottom of the page repeats the company's net value (Assets − Liabilities). It displays in green when positive, red when negative. This is the single most representative figure of your overall financial health in OnAir.

9.4 Financial Health

The Financial Health page reads your company's finances at a glance: summary cards, the composition of your assets, two gauges and rolling trend lines. Every figure comes from one consolidated server call, and both ratios now use the same formula, colours and format here, on the Dashboard finance card, in Company Lookup and on the Leaderboard.

Top cards

• Cash — money available right now.
• Company Value — net worth: assets minus liabilities.
• Total Assets — everything you own.
• Total Loans — outstanding loan balance.

What your assets are made of

A single bar splits your assets into the five accounts the server keeps: cash, aircraft, FBOs, FBO fuel and virtual airline shares. It is the fastest way to see why a ratio moved. Note what is not there: goods, factories and cargo are never capitalised, so industry spending shrinks your asset base instead of moving value inside it.

Debt Ratio

How much of the company is financed by debt: Loans / Assets. The dial no longer stops at 2.00, so a heavily indebted company is no longer drawn like a merely stretched one.

• Below 0.5 — great shape, most of what you own is paid for.
• 0.5 to 1.0 — significant debt, but assets still cover it.
• Above 1.0 — over-leveraged: you owe more than you own.

Return on Assets — a lifetime figure

This is all profit since the company was founded, divided by the assets you own today. It is not a return over a period and is not comparable to a real-world ROA: it grows simply with age, and above 100% it rises when your asset base falls, because spending that is not capitalised (fuel, wages, goods) shrinks the denominator. Read it as a maturity indicator, not a score to chase.

• Above 100% — lifetime earnings exceed everything you own.
• 50% to 100% — good profitability.
• 10% to 50% — modest returns, room to improve.
• Below 10% — assets are not generating much profit yet.

Recent return — the periodic one

Just above the dial, Last 14 days and Last 7 days give the return the lifetime figure is not: income actually earned in that window, divided by your current assets. That is the number to watch session after session. Two caveats stated on the page: the denominator is today's assets rather than an average over the window, and the figure is not annualised, because stretching 14 days out for a pilot who flies in bursts swings wildly. It is coloured on sign only, green above zero and red below.

Bottom cards

• Share Capital — company share capital.
• Income (1 week) and Income (2 weeks) — revenue over the last 7 and 14 days.

9.5 Bank Loans

The Bank Loans page shows your active loans, the offers the bank is willing to make, and lets you repay early. Borrowing is unlocked in the skill tree: until you invest in the Bank Loans skill, the bank has no offers for you.

Current loans

The top-left table lists every active loan:

• Principal — the amount originally borrowed.
• First Payment — date of the first weekly repayment.
• Weeks and Remaining — total duration, and the weeks still to run.
• Weekly Payment — the amount taken from your cash each week.
• Annual Rate — the interest rate applied.
• Due — what is still owed: weekly payment times the remaining weeks.
• Last Payment — date of the most recent instalment.
• Repay — settle the loan early. A quote appears first; nothing is charged until you confirm.

Loan proposals

Below sit the offers currently on the table: Principal, First Payment, Duration (weeks), Weekly Payment, Annual Rate and an Accept button. Two other states can appear in place of the list, and they mean very different things:

• Skill not unlocked — the bank genuinely will not lend to you yet. A button takes you to the Skills page to unlock Bank Loans. Access is re-checked every time you open the page, so no restart is needed after buying the skill.
• Load error — the request to the bank failed. This is not a locked skill, and the page now says so, showing the server's own message and a Retry button. It used to claim no access instead, which sent players who had already unlocked Bank Loans off to the Skills page for nothing.

Attribution criteria

The right-hand panel lists what the bank looks at. A green dot marks a favourable value, an orange one an unfavourable value.

• Bank credit score — the server's overall rating, green above 50%. The most important line: it aggregates everything below.
• Share Capital — your company's share capital.
• Company current value — current net value.
• Remaining Principals to repay — total outstanding across your loans.
• Reputation — company reputation, as a percentage.

Early repayment

Repaying early costs the remaining principal plus a 10% penalty. The exact total is shown in the confirmation box before anything is debited, and the repayment is refused if your cash does not cover it.

9.6 Business Review

The Business Review page is your in-house consultant. He reads the last 30 days of revenue and expenses, checks the books, and leaves a written verdict with a colour-coded list of findings. The engine is deterministic: every finding comes from a fixed rule applied to your own numbers, so the same books always produce the same advice.

The consultant's note

The card at the top holds the summary: a couple of sentences on the last 30 days, the date the report was filed and the date he returns.

• The note is written locally from the findings and appears instantly. When a richer, AI-written version can be reached it replaces the wording and an AI badge appears beside the title. If it cannot be reached, the local note simply stands — the advice never depends on the AI being available, and the findings and severities are identical either way.
• The note is stored with the report, so re-opening the page shows the same text rather than a rewritten one. Switching the interface language regenerates it in the new language.

Headline numbers

• Revenue — operating income over the window.
• Expenses — operating costs, shown as a positive amount.
• Net result — the difference. Green when positive, red when negative.

Findings

Each finding carries an icon, a headline, a short rationale and a severity badge; the card's left border repeats the colour so the list scans at a glance.

• Critical (red) — a loss or a drain that demands attention.
• Watch (orange) — a trend turning the wrong way.
• Opportunity (cyan) — idle capacity or savings within reach.
• Good (green) — something the books confirm you are doing well.
• Note (grey) — context worth knowing, not actionable on its own.

The rules cover fuel bought at other FBOs, maintenance, landing and parking fees, cargo storage, late-delivery penalties, payroll, leverage and the week-on-week trend.

Breakdowns

Cost by aircraft lists the eight aircraft that cost you the most, each with a category split sorted high to low; an aircraft that left your fleet during the window is still named from the ledger rather than shown as unknown. Landing fees by airport lists the eight airports that took the most in fees, with the number of charges — the fastest way to see where an owned FBO would pay for itself.

Cadence, cache and price

• A fresh review is a paid consulting service, priced at 1% of your company value. A quote is shown first; a cancelled or declined payment does nothing.
• The consultant returns once a week. Until then the button is locked and shows the return date.
• Your last report stays free to view. It is cached on your own machine, encrypted and per company, so re-opening the page costs nothing and asks the server nothing.
• With no report yet, the empty state offers Generate my first review, which opens the same paid flow.
• While a review is being prepared, a short consultant-at-work animation runs.

9.7 Company Lookup

Company Lookup finds any OnAir airline from its code and shows what the OnAir servers return about it: owner, key figures, fleet, employees and certifications. Whatever appears here is the same for anyone who looks your own company up.

Search

Type the company code (3 to 5 characters, typed in any case and converted to uppercase) and press Search or Enter. The page also opens from a link in the leaderboards, the flight logs, a notification, or the Reputation card of your own Dashboard.

World picker

When several worlds are available a world selector sits next to the search field, so you can look up a company in any world, not only your own. Your current world is marked, and a hint reminds you when you are searching outside it.

Actions

• Flight Logs — opens that company's flight history with your own date range and filters.
• Send Mail — opens the mailbox pre-filled with the company code (and the target world when it differs from yours).
• Send Credits — a transfer dialog for an amount and an optional note. Same world only, never to your own company, and the server debits you immediately.

Owner card

Avatar when one is set, pseudonym, birth date with the computed age, Total Flight Hours (everything the pilot has logged, before and inside the current company) and Hours in Company. The three action buttons repeat here.

Company card

Account badge image when the owner has chosen one, full name, code and world, Challenge Mode and Paused badges when they apply, the date the owner was last seen, a reputation bar with its percentage and a level bar with the XP earned toward the next level.

Key figures

• Current Cash and Company Value.
• Lifetime income, with the last week and the last two weeks underneath.
• Ratios — the ROA and the Debt ratio. The ROA is a lifetime figure: income since the company was founded divided by today's assets, which is why an old company can sit well above 100%. It is computed and coloured the same way here as on the Financial Health page.
• Jobs — missions in progress and missions completed.
• Fleet & Staff — aircraft (with how many are airborne), FBOs and employees.

Fleet and employees

Two tables side by side. The fleet lists registration (click to open Aircraft Lookup), type, the current airport code (click to open Airport Lookup) and a coloured status badge. The employee table lists pilots, cabin crew and mechanics with their category, status and current location.

Certifications and ranks

One tile per aircraft class the owner is qualified on, with the hours and landings logged in that class and the rank reached — Trainee, Junior Officer, Flight Officer, First Officer or Captain — with its insignia.

9.8 Leaderboards

The Leaderboards rank the companies of your OnAir world across six independent metrics. Only companies active in the last two weeks are included, the data is rebuilt once a week, and the date of that rebuild is shown at the top of the page. Refresh reloads it from the server, but nothing moves until the weekly rebuild has run.

The six boards

Each board is its own table showing the Top 20:

• Reputation — overall reputation, from 0 to 100%. It rises when missions are delivered on time and undamaged, and falls when they are abandoned or arrive in poor condition. It is the single most useful number for attracting better-paying clients.
• Return on Assets — a lifetime figure: everything the company has earned since it was founded, divided by the assets it holds today. That is why long-lived companies sit far above 100%, and why it rewards earning more rather than owning more. It is computed and formatted here exactly as on the Financial Health page.
• Company Value — cash plus fleet, FBOs and other assets. A raw measure of accumulated size.
• Player Cruise Hours (last 4 weeks) — cruise hours flown by human pilots, not by AI.
• Player Flight Hours (last 4 weeks) — total hours from engine start to engine shutdown by human pilots: taxi, climb, cruise and descent included.
• Outsource Expenses — total spent having other companies or AI fly your missions. Only companies that actually spent something appear.

Reading a board

Each row shows a trend marker, the company code, the company name and the value. The My Score figure in the board header is always your own value for that metric, whether or not you are in the Top 20 — and if you are, your row is highlighted.

Trend markers

• A blue star — new to this ranking this week.
• A green up arrow — you moved up compared with last week.
• A red down arrow — you moved down.
• An orange dot — unchanged.

Other leaderboards

These six boards rank companies. Two other rankings live elsewhere: the Routes Leaderboard, which ranks the recurring routes players operate, and the Industry leaderboards (industry points and contract credits) on the Industries dashboard. Custom Routes and Virtual Airlines are now open to every player, so those boards are reachable by anyone.

9.9 Partnerships

Partnerships is your company's network of partner companies: who you are linked with, who has asked to be, and who you have asked. A partnership is a standing agreement between two companies in the same world — each OnAir world keeps its own separate network.

This page is still being finished. Its wording, its options and what a partnership does for you can still change from one update to the next, so treat it as work in progress rather than a settled feature.

Header

The title carries the number of active partners. Next to it: a view toggle between Strips (one visual card per row) and List (a compact table), a sort selector shown in Strips view, and Refresh to reload everything from the servers. Your choice of view is remembered.

The four tabs

Each list tab shows a small counter when it holds something, so one glance tells you whether anything needs an answer:

• Partners — your active partnerships. Each row shows the company, the message the invitation carried, how long the partnership has lasted, and a Remove button that asks for confirmation before dissolving it.
• Received — invitations sent to you, in orange while Pending and in red once Declined. A pending invitation offers Accept and Decline; a declined one only offers Delete, which clears it from your list.
• Sent — invitations you sent that have not been accepted. You can still Cancel them, after a confirmation.
• Propose — the two invitation forms.

Proposing a partnership

• The player is already in OnAir — enter their airline code or their e-mail, add an optional message, and send. The request lands in that company's Received tab.
• Invite a friend who has not joined — enter an e-mail address and an optional message; they receive an invitation to join the game and your network.

After a successful send the page switches to Sent so you can see the new invitation immediately.

Sorting

In List view the column headers are clickable: company and since on Partners, sender or recipient plus status and date on the invitation tabs. One click sorts ascending, a second reverses it. In Strips view the selector in the header offers the same keys with a button to flip the direction. Each tab keeps its own sort.

Statuses

• Accepted, in green — the partnership is active.
• Pending, in orange — the invitation is waiting for an answer.
• Declined, in red — the recipient turned it down.

Loading failure. A request error does not mean that you have no partners. Read the error and retry with Refresh before acting on an apparently empty list.

9.10 Virtual Airline

A Virtual Airline (VA) is a company several players fly for together. VAs are now open to everyone. This page covers the VA console, creating a VA and joining one.

Joining a VA

• Invited — an invitation now lands somewhere: it waits at the top of the Apply page, which renames itself to say you have been invited. Accept and your company becomes a member.
• Apply — the Apply page lists the active VAs of your world with code, name, callsign, description, members, fleet and 30-day flights & hours. Search, sort, then Send Application; the card turns Pending until an admin answers. Only while you belong to no VA.
• Create — name, 5-character airline code and starting equity (100,000 credits minimum, from your cash). You become the founder and land in the console; callsign, website and dividends come later. Career mode only — Freelance companies are pointed to Apply.

Working as the VA

The Work as button, carrying the VA name, is on every page for Dispatcher roles and above: in the title bar of the desktop app, and at the top of the sidebar in the web version. While it is on, a coloured frame surrounds the app so you always know whose money you are spending.

• Aircraft you buy join the VA fleet, jobs you accept belong to the VA, and spending comes out of its account.
• Fuel is billed to the company operating the aircraft, and the hiring screens name the company that pays.
• The lobby shows the VA under a company that belongs to one.
• A contract taken by the VA can only be dropped by the VA — from your own company it is refused, with an explanation: switch, or ask a Dispatcher.

The console

• Stat cards (members, flights, hours, PAX), VA information and a top-10 activity chart.
• Members table — role, base, flights, hours, PAX, cargo, earnings, last VA flight, plus a VATSIM chip you can link to a live callsign (kept on this computer; green dot = online).
• Passes — 24-hour freelance passes are bought on your OnAir account, not with company credits.
• Shareholders — any member can propose an equity increase of at least 50,000 credits; managers answer from the same panel.

Running it

• Properties (founder) — description, website, dividend %, logo, job-assignment rules, and dividend distribution behind a confirmation.
• Roles (founder) — permission level, colour, pay model (share of the job, per hour, weekly) and which jobs the role may load. A share is a percentage: 10 means 10 % of the job.
• Members (manager) — role, colour, the aircraft and the employees that member may use, shortcuts to their ranks and their work orders, and firing.
• The other way round — from an aircraft or an employee, open the VA permissions and tick the members allowed to use it.
• Invitations — answer applications, cancel invitations you sent, invite a company by airline code.

Assigning a job

A Dispatcher can hand a VA job to a member from the job lists; assigning nobody un-assigns it. The member sees it flagged for them, and the others are told they cannot load it.

Good to know

• The employee list mixes your own staff with the VA's — the server returns both, and the VA ones are marked.
• Only flights flown for the VA count in its statistics.
• Crews are hired on the Crew Market.
• Leave VA sits in the red Danger Zone. A member leaves cleanly; the founder only as the last member, which dissolves the VA.
