Allow Users with Requisite Permissions to Access Full Historical Data for All Aircraft in the Fleet

As a safety manager, it is critical to have access to the complete historical flying activity and tracking data for all aircraft in our fleet. Currently, the system restricts users from viewing historical data for aircraft prior to the date and time at which visibility for those aircraft is activated. This limitation significantly hinders operational oversight, safety analysis, and data-driven decision-making, especially when historical data is required for audits, trend analysis, or integration with tools like Power BI.

To address this issue, I propose that SpiderTracks implement a feature allowing users with the requisite permissions (e.g., Admin or Safety Manager roles) to access the full historical data for all aircraft in the fleet, dating back to the start of the company’s SpiderTracks account. This would ensure that authorized personnel can perform their duties effectively without unnecessary restrictions.

Proposed Solution:

1. Expand Data Visibility Scope:

   • Modify the current visibility settings to allow users with appropriate permissions to access the full historical flying activity and tracking data for all aircraft in the fleet, regardless of when visibility was activated for each aircraft.

2. Permission-Based Access Control:

   • Ensure that only users with specific roles (e.g., Admin, Safety Manager) or explicit permissions can access this historical data to maintain security and privacy.

3. Data Export Compatibility:

   • Ensure that the historical data remains exportable in formats compatible with external tools like Power BI for further analysis and reporting.

Benefits:

• Enhances safety management by providing a complete dataset for trend analysis, incident investigation, and compliance reporting.

• Improves operational efficiency by eliminating the need for manual workarounds or reliance on incomplete data.

• Aligns with the expectations of enterprise users who require unrestricted access to their own historical data for effective fleet management.

• Maintains security by restricting this functionality to users with appropriate permissions.
