Abstract: A network architecture and related controls for disseminating and capturing flight release documents permit user directed printing and transmitting functions. At a flight origination location, a user may be authorized based on inputted identification and prompted for a flight specific data item such as a flight number. Upon validating the flight specific data item, the relevant flight information is located and a flight release document containing the relevant flight information is created and produced at the flight origination location. At a flight destination location, users may be prompted again for identification and the flight release document may be captured, received, and stored. The produced flight release document may include a specific page number and a total page count on each printed sheet and may also include a barcode containing metadata related to the flight release document. The barcode may be scanned to determine certain details of the flight release document.
