What does OpenFlyers?
OpenFlyers' goal is to manage all clients bills and only clients bills (not the suppliers one).
Thus, you got members that make some flights. For each flight, OpenFlyers debit the member account and credit the aircraft account according to the flight hours pricing rules. (in some case, it can also credit the member account and debit another account).
