1. **Navigate to Aircraft Page**
   * Go to the Aircraft section in the administrator portal
   * Locate the aircraft that received the fuel uplift

2. **Open Aircraft Options**
   * Click on the aircraft header to select it
   * Look for the sidebar option menu that appears
   * This menu contains various aircraft-specific actions

3. **Access Fuel Uplift Form**
   * Click "Add" in the sidebar menu
   * Select "Fuel Uplift" from the dropdown options
   * The fuel uplift form will open

4. **Enter Uplift Details**
   * **Select Airport**: Choose the airport where the uplift occurred from the dropdown
   * **Enter Tank Quantities**: Input the uplift amount for each fuel tank
     * Specify quantities in your configured units (gallons/liters)
     * Enter amounts for all applicable tanks (left, right, center, etc.)
   * The system will calculate the total uplift automatically

5. **Update Fuel Status (Optional)**
   * Check the "Update fuel status" option if you want to:
     * Set the new current fuel quantity for the aircraft
     * Reset the fuel tracking baseline
   * Leave unchecked to only record the uplift without changing current status

6. **Save the Uplift**
   * Review all entered information for accuracy
   * Click "Save" to record the fuel uplift
   * The system will update fuel records and optionally the aircraft's current fuel status

## Benefits of Tracking Fuel Uplifts

* **Consumption Analysis**: Monitor fuel usage patterns across your fleet
* **Cost Tracking**: Maintain accurate records for fuel expense management
* **Maintenance Planning**: Identify unusual consumption patterns
* **Regulatory Compliance**: Keep detailed fuel records for aviation authorities
* **Operational Efficiency**: Ensure accurate fuel planning for flights

The fuel uplift tracking system integrates with flight logs to provide comprehensive fuel management across your aviation operations.
