Position Report Form

April 1, 2026

4.3+

Position reporting in Scott Plot® is performed either directly from route waypoints or through the Position Report Summary, which provides a consolidated view of all reports entered during the flight. All position reports are automatically captured in the completed Journey Logbook.

Route Waypoint Position Report

The Route Waypoint Position Report is the primary method for entering a position report. It can be accessed by tapping:

  • Any waypoint on the active route displayed on the chart, or
  • A waypoint in the horizontal waypoint list at the bottom of the Scott Plot page.

When opened, the position report form automatically populates key information, including aircraft identification, date, SELCAL (if available), waypoint position, and time. Remaining fields are intended to be entered from the aircraft FMS to ensure consistency with onboard navigation data.

Note: You can set the aircraft SELCAL value once in your portal account and the app will use it for each position report automatically. To add the SELCAL information for your aircraft, contact your Flight Department Admin or contact us at support@scottipc.com and we will add it for you.

Wind information is optional and should be entered only when required by ATC or when the operator desires historical data for the leg.

Fuel Entry

Fuel values in the position report may be entered using either:

  • Decimal values (e.g., 24.5), or
  • Whole pounds (e.g., 24,500 lbs).

Scott Plot accepts both formats and records the entered value in the position report and the Journey Logbook.

Note: Fuel burn units can be changed to KG by navigating to More > Settings & Options > Units > Weight.

POS Report Summary / Table View

The POS Report Summary, accessed from the left vertical toolbar on the Scott Plot page, provides a consolidated view of all position reports entered during the flight. From the Position Report Summary, crews may:

  • Add a position report by tapping the + icon.
  • Delete an individual position report by tapping the trash icon above the corresponding report column.
  • Reorder position reports by long-pressing on a report column and dragging it to a different point along the route.
  • Delete all position reports by tapping the Clear All button at the top of the screen.

Changes made in the summary view are reflected immediately and will be included in the completed Journey Logbook.

5/10-Minute Check Association

The position reporting system automatically associates the first 5-minute or 10-minute check following a waypoint with that waypoint's position report. When a 5- or 10-minute check is completed, a timestamp is captured and indicated within the position report.

Journey Logbook Capture

All position reports, including fuel entries, timestamps, and associated 5/10-minute checks, are automatically captured in the final Journey Logbook Master Document upon flight closeout.

Note: The position report form uses the GPS to automatically fill in the AT time on the position report. Please verify this time against your FMS for accuracy.
