Quickstart — for pilots

If your operator set the drive up, there is nothing to configure. The whole job is one tap and a short wait.

Where you'll find it — the FMS data loader port
  1. The drive is already in the aircraft

    Flux Drive lives in the FMS USB port and powers up with the aircraft. No lights, no buttons — a blank volume until you send something to it.

  2. Get the company profile

    Import your operator's company profile into Time and Fuel Aviation (you have probably done this already). The profile quietly carries the key that lets your phone talk to the operator's drives — you never see or type it.

  3. Plan the flight

    Build the day as usual in Time and Fuel. When the route is ready, open the share options and choose the FMS transfer.

  4. Send to Flux Drive

    Tap Send to Flux Drive from anywhere in the cockpit with Bluetooth on. The app finds the drive, authenticates, and streams the plan — about ten seconds, with progress on screen.

  5. Load the FMS

    The FMS sees its drive briefly unplug and come back with the new plan. Load it from the FMS data page as you always have, then verify the plan in the FMS before flight — waypoints, distances, tracks.

  6. Mind the ten minutes

    For security the plan erases itself ten minutes after the FMS stops reading it, and whenever the drive powers up. As long as the FMS is actively loading — even retrying — the plan stays. If it has expired, just send it again.
