When someone leaves the syndicate
What happens to a departing owner's balance, their share of the reserve fund, their access and their records when they sell up, move away or can no longer fly.
Last reviewed
Shares get sold, people move away, and occasionally someone can no longer fly. Every syndicate goes through it, and it is always a little messy. FlyerOS does not make the decision for you, but it makes the position clear, so the change is a settlement rather than an argument.
Their balance
Start with what they owe or are owed. Their statement shows the hours they flew, their share of the standing charge and their reserve contributions, and where their balance sits. You settle that figure, and it is recorded, so there is no lingering "did we ever sort out what Dave owed?". See member balances and top-ups.
Their share of the reserve
The reserve fund belongs to the group and stays with the aircraft; a leaving owner does not take a slice of the engine fund away in cash. What their contribution is worth is usually settled between the leaver and whoever buys the share, and FlyerOS shows each owner's position so that conversation is based on a real number rather than a guess. See reserve funds and syndicate shares.
Access, removed cleanly
When they leave, their access ends: they can no longer book, see the aircraft or open the group's records. What they did while they were an owner stays where it is, though. The flights they flew remain in the aircraft's history and its accounts, because those are the aircraft's records, not personal ones, and removing them would break the trail. See understanding roles and permissions.
The owner coming in
Adding the incoming owner is the mirror image: they are added, given access, and pick up from the current position. Their share, their standing charge and their access all start from the day they join, and the aircraft's history carries on unbroken.
