By extra repair, I mean either aircraft configuration change or extra unscheduled (not automatically started) repair or check.

A checkmark like on purchase of used aircraft (if you want to be notified) would also be good for this feature.

Why exactly would this be useful? Maybe its purpose is alluding me  :laugh:

Suppose you have 10 planes flying and one sitting sitting idle.  Suppose you want to reconfigure the 10 planes without taking them out of service.  You can configure the spare one, than replace one of the 10 with it, then you reconfigure the new spare etc.  You can reconfigure all of them without loss of service.

Or, suppose you want to micromanage your C/D checks and use a spare plane to always be in middle of the check etc.

With a notification of "extra check", you don't know when one of them is finished, that you can cycle to the next plane.  It is much easier than trying to remember what plane is doing what and when.  You would get a notification of completions...
