Creating a Fake or Stand-in Aircraft for Scheduling Purposes

Creating a Fake or Stand-in Aircraft for Scheduling Purposes

We have daily notes to capture events on the BART calendars. Sometimes however, you want something a bit bolder to show events or activites on the calendars. Thinking outside the box and creating a "fake" aircraft can be a useful tool to allow those bolder events to shine on the calendars. Adding a made-up tail number can not only serve as a nice placeholder on the BART web schedules calendar, but also appear on the copilot app. 

Here's a short video showing you how to create that pseudo aircraft, and see it's possible use in action. Let the ideas inspire you---you never know when the tool could be of use in your BART as well.
