Personnel on Airfield
Contractor and escort credentials with expiry tracking.
The problem
A visitor on the airfield needs a credential, and the credential needs a shelf life
A contractor or a visiting crew on the airfield isn't tracked the same way as your own personnel: they need an escort, a credential that actually expires, and a record of why they're there and for how long. Keep that in a shared file or a running note and the thing that slips is exactly the date that mattered: a credential that expired last week, still treated as current because nobody happened to look.
And with more than one contractor on the field at once, the question that actually matters (who's still authorized, right now) is only as good as whoever last touched the list.
How it works
One entry per company, on the airfield to done
- 01
Log who's on the airfield and why
Company, point of contact, what the work is, and when it starts and ends: one entry per contractor or crew, active until the work is actually done.
- 02
Vehicle escort details get their own fields
A radio number and a vehicle escort flag number attach right to the entry, so that status travels with the record instead of living on a separate list.
- 03
The credential's expiration sits right on the entry
The AF Form 483 credential number and its expiration date live on the same record, and a past-due date shows in red the moment you look.
- 04
Export the roster when you need it
Pull the current roster, or the full history, to a PDF with every credential's status included, or send it by email straight from the module.

Built on the regulation
The citation, implemented
- AF Form 483
The credential number and expiration Glidepath tracks on every entry map directly to the escort credential AF Form 483 establishes, read on the record instead of checked separately.
The benefit
What it automates
Vehicle escort status travels with the entry
A radio number and a vehicle escort flag number sit right on the contractor's record, not a separate escort list to cross-check.
An expired credential doesn't hide
The expiration date flags in red the moment it's past due, both on the entry and on the exported PDF.
Active and completed stay sorted
Filter to who's currently on the airfield, or search the full history. A completed engagement doesn't clutter the active list, but it isn't gone either.

FAQ
Straight answers
Does Glidepath track individuals separately from the companies they work for?
Each entry covers one company or crew, with a point of contact and callsign attached: one record per engagement, not a separate roster of individual badges.
What counts as escort tracking here?
A radio number and a vehicle escort flag number attach to the entry. It tracks that a vehicle escort is issued and identified, not a full authorization workflow.
What happens when a credential expires?
It flags in red on the entry and on the exported PDF the moment the date passes. Glidepath surfaces it. The app doesn't block anything on its own, so acting on it stays with whoever's watching the roster.
Can I get a roster out for a report?
Yes. Export the current roster, or the full history, to a PDF with every credential's status included, or send it by email straight from the module.
