# The app at a glance

The tabs along the top are grouped by what they're for:

<table id="bkmrk-grouptabspurpose-ove"><thead><tr><th>Group</th><th>Tabs</th><th>Purpose</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Overview</td><td>Home, Live Map</td><td>Your [Home screen](https://kb.canadaairvirtual.ca/books/cavacars-2-pilot-guide/page/the-home-screen) and a [live map](https://kb.canadaairvirtual.ca/books/cavacars-2-pilot-guide/page/live-map) of CAV traffic</td></tr><tr><td>Find a flight</td><td>Schedules, Tours, Events, Open Flights, Ferry, Charter</td><td>Browse and dispatch flights</td></tr><tr><td>My bookings</td><td>Dispatched</td><td>Flights you've dispatched but not yet flown</td></tr><tr><td>Live ops</td><td>Chat, Tracking</td><td>Pilot chat and your active tracked flight</td></tr></tbody></table>

### The status bar

A status bar runs along the bottom of the window at all times. This is where your simulator connection lives (see [Connecting your simulator](https://kb.canadaairvirtual.ca/books/cavacars-2-pilot-guide/page/connecting-your-simulator)). It also shows a **REC** indicator with your flight number whenever a flight is actively being tracked, and an **Arming** countdown while a tracking session is about to auto-start, so you always know your tracking state no matter which tab you're on.

Click the connection status at the far left to open the **Debug log**. If you're having trouble, click **Copy log** there and paste it in a message to staff.

### The pilot menu

Click your name and avatar in the top right to open the pilot menu:

<table id="bkmrk-itemwhat-it-does-my-"><thead><tr><th>Item</th><th>What it does</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>My Logbook</td><td>Opens your logbook on the CAV website</td></tr><tr><td>Pilot Guide</td><td>Opens this guide</td></tr><tr><td>What's new</td><td>The latest changes to CAVacars 2 (see [Updates](https://kb.canadaairvirtual.ca/books/cavacars-2-pilot-guide/page/updates)). A red dot on your avatar means there's something you haven't seen yet.</td></tr><tr><td>Browser access</td><td>Use CAVacars 2 from a tablet, phone or another PC on your network. See [Using CAVacars 2 in a browser or on an iPad](https://kb.canadaairvirtual.ca/books/cavacars-2-pilot-guide/page/using-cavacars-2-in-a-browser-or-on-an-ipad).</td></tr><tr><td>Close to tray</td><td>When **ON**, closing the window keeps CAVacars 2 running in the system tray instead of quitting</td></tr><tr><td>Check for updates</td><td>Checks for a new version right away</td></tr><tr><td>Sign out</td><td>Signs you out of CAVacars 2</td></tr></tbody></table>

The light/dark theme toggle is in the top bar next to the menu.
