FW & JL

In this section you can add Flight Watch and Journey Log data. Inserted post-flight data to Journey Log allows to generate various kinds of reports in Leon (Crew, OPS, Sales, etc…).

Flight Watch and Journey Log can only be added to the confirmed flights. Flight Watch is not available for the Simulator flights.

Flight Watch

Flight Watch data entrance panel

By clicking on FW & JL column Leon opens the tab in the right-hand side filter. If there is no Journey Log added Leon opens FW tab. If there is a Journey Log added (even if it is partly filled in) Leon opens JL tab.

FW contains several fields where you can input details such as:

Date input in the Flight Watch

Date of the time input can be selected for each individual box apart from EET. As soon as you click inside the applicable box Leon will display the date underneath the box in the “ddMMM” format. If there is a need to change the date, simply click on the date displayed below the box and choose the new date from the calendar.

At the bottom of the panel Leon will show information “Last modified by” showing Eurocontrol or SITA and UTC time of the change. For manual changes Leon will show user's name/surname and UTC time of the change.

Additionally, the following Flight Watch progress indicators are displayed in the 'Table' view:

Details such as BLOFF, T/O, LDG and BLON can be copied to Journey Log by clicking in the tab JL

Manual MVT Messages

Manual sending of MVT messages

It is possible to send MVT messages manually using selected movement rule as the template source.

To send MVT message manually you have to follow the below steps:

  1. Fill in FW and save it.
  2. Click on 'SEND MVT' button to populate a 'Send MVT' pop-up window where you can select Movement rule as the template source. This is a template assigned as an 'MVT rule' in a section Settings > MVT Messages to an aircraft you're sending the MVT for.
  3. Once you chose a template the system prepopulates message and recipients according to selected 'MVT rule'. You can now customize every part of final message and recipients.
  4. If everything is ready, press 'SEND'.
If there are no 'MVT rules' assigned to an aircraft in Settings > MVT Messages' section, the template source in step 2 will not populate any choice.

Importing MVT Messages

Movement messages can be imported to Leon if they are being sent to email address mvt@leon.aero and if they are in one of the below formats:

SITA format

Departure message format

Example of SITA departure message is showed in the screen.

Eurocontrol

It is possible to receive Flight Watch times automatically to Leon from Eurocontrol servers.

Eurocontrol is an international organisation working to achieve safe and seamless air traffic management across Europe. Eurocontrol works with national authorities, air navigation service providers, civil and military airspace users, airports, and other organisations. Its activities involve all gate-to-gate air navigation service operations: strategic and tactical flow management, controller training, regional control of airspace, safety-proofed technologies and procedures, and collection of air navigation charges. For more information, please visit Eurocontrol website.

In order to integrate with Eurocontrol, you have to open a section Integrations, click ENABLE button, then switch the Status to ON and save changes.

If the Operator ICAO code in the section Settings > General Settings tab is the same as registered with Eurocontrol, the integration will be completed upon saving changes. If the ICAO code in Leon doesn't match the one registered with Eurocontrol, you will see an error message saying “Operator ICAO not recognized by Eurocontrol”.

Operator's ICAO designator must be included in the flight plan's item 7 (Aircraft Identifier), or item 18 (Other Information), sub-field OPR/. In the second case, no other remarks should be added in the OPR/ sub-field, besides ICAO designator.

If your flight numbers in Leon are based on IATA codes instead of ICAO codes, fill the IATA code field in General Settings.

When the integration is completed, Flight Watch in Leon will start receiving flight times from Eurocontrol servers. You will recognise them by opening a Flight Watch and hovering the mouse over the time value, as shown in the screenshot above. Eurocontrol will only send CTOT, ATD, EET, ETA, ATA times and REGCAUSE plus PAX number.

Journey Log

Journey Log - post-flight data input panel
Journey Log items available in the section Settings > Flight Editing
Night Time calculation in Leon

You can add flight times to the Journey Log from the scratch or you can copy them from FW (by clicking the blue button). All data inserted to JL is then used in reports.

Apart from the obvious fields in JL such as Date, ADEP, ADES, BLOFF, T/O, LDG and BLON - there are also other available fields split into 2 sections:

Mandatory JL fields

It is possible to set up a default fuel unit per the aircraft: KG, LBS, L or US GAL - in an aircraft edition panel (section Settings > Fleet). The units can be selected separately for Block/Used/Remaining Fuel and for 'Uplift'
Hover the mouse over BLOFF, T/O, LDG, BLON to see alternative indications: OUT, OFF, ON, IN.

Optional JL fields

All enabled fields in Journey Log are also available when adding JL in Leon mobile app. Pilots can also add JL when in offline mode.
Option to delete JL

If the JL is inserted by mistake, for example for the future flight, it is possible to delete it. To delete JL you need to click on icon located in the top-right corner of the 'JL' tab. There are 3 options available:

At the bottom of the Journey Log panel you can find an information Last modified by showing name & surname of the user who made changes in JL as the last one as well as UTC time of those changes.

Fuel in litres & US gallons

It is now possible to add Fuel data in litres or US gallons in the Journey Log panel.

In a section Settings > Fleet, edit the aircraft and set up a default fuel unit as L or US Gal

Once the default fuel unit is set up, you can add fuel in litres or US gallons in the Journey Log panel (as on screenshot below) - the default fuel unit applies to: Block fuel, Used fuel, Remaining fuel and Uplift.

The same defined fuel unit shows in the panel (suitable for adding JL data for multiple sector trip)

We also added Fuel density (kg/L) in the JL section. This field is optional and can be activated in Settings > Flight Editing > Journey Log section.

The default Fuel density values are as per below:

The value is selected by default in the JL based on fuel type set in Settings > Fleet > OPS tab. This field allows amending the density of the fuel with the values between 0 and 1.

The density value is automatically added when creating new refueling. The density value reacts to the 'Fuel type' changes in the 'New Refueling'.

All the reports that take fuel into consideration such as: CO2 emission, Aircraft Flights, Network Departures, columns in Report Wizard will recalculate with accordance to this density value.


Adding JL to multiple sectors

Adding JL data to multiple sectors

If you want to add Journey Log to multiple sectors on one screen, click button at the bottom of OPS panel and fill in a new open window (see screenshot on the right).

The 'Edit trip JL' window is split into 2 sections“

  1. Trip summary - showing an aircraft reg number, flight number, date, ADEP, STD, STA, ADES, Block time and assigned crew (codes).
  2. Journey Log - showing all default fields (defined in Settings > Flight Editing) to be filled in.
Leon will NOT show a button if an item Oil uplift is among the other items. To be able to add JL to multiple sectors you need to first remove that item in Settings > Flight Editing.

Deleting Journey Log

To delete a journey log click X icon (between the trash icon and the status dot). Leon will show a blank JL page. Once it's saved, in a column FW & JL instead of a dot Leon will show 'X'. To bring a journey log page back click , however, Leon will NOT restore previous entrances - it will only restore JL fields to be filled in again.
