According to OPS 1.970 a pilot should carry out 3 take-offs and 3 landings in the previous 90 days as pilot flying in an aeroplane, or in a flight simulator of the same type/class.
A pop-up window will show only endorsements defined in Crew > Endorsements List as 'Required for dispatch', along with the number of days to expire. This topic has been described in the section Endorsements.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION !
Examples below will explain how this feature works:
Crew TAR has carried 3 take-offs and 3 landings in previous 90 days on 2 types of aircraft.
Go to Crew > Duties section - right next to pilot's code there is a status-dot. Hover the mouse over the dot to get the information displayed in the pop-up window. In case of crew TAR it shows, that 51 days left to expire '90 days currency' for aircraft G450 and 81 days for aircraft H750 - here is how it was calculated:
G450
H750
In this case, crew TAR has done 2 flights on type G450 and 1 simulator flight on the same type. Leon will include SIM flight into overall number of days left to expire '90 days currency' for aircraft G450 (see screenshot on the right)
Because the 1st flight was done on the 1st of November, it gives crew TAR 64 days left to expire '90 days currency' for aircraft G450
IMPORTANT INFORMATION !
If SIM flight is assigned with icon - you can add Journey Log, but it's not necessary to get that flight calculated for '90 days currency' feature.
If a pilot has not carried 3 take-offs and landings within 90 days, when hovering the mouse over the status-dot, the information will be displayed as '0' days left. If the number between the latest take-off/landing and the current date (date of checking) is lower than 30 - the dot will become orange.
Some countries require Airlines to monitor number of flights within last 60 days.
60 days currency feature requires Cockpit crew to make at least 5 take-offs and 5 landings within last 60 days.
Leon will update 60 days currency if 1 of below requirements are fulfilled:
To check if a crew member has met the requirements, please tick the 60 days currency checkbox in the filter in Crew > Duties and hover the mouse over a dot by Crew Members name.
Apart from 90 days currency of the crew that must be monitored by operators (click here for more information, section 'Cockpit crew status') some operators have to track that the crew have flown at least once in the last 28 (Europe) or 30 (Asia) days - that includes 'Simulator' flights.
You can easily check if a particular crew member has flown in the required period of time by going to the section Crew > Duties table and hover the mouse over the status-dot. Make sure that in the filter the checkbox '28 days currency (cockpit) is ticked (see below).
Leon will update 28/30 days currency if 1 of the below requirements is fulfilled:
EXAMPLES
On the screenshot below crew RYAN had flown his last flight on 25-03-2014. The date of checking the status is 04-04-2014. When hovering the mouse over the status-dot Leon shows the information, that 18 days left to expire the 28 days currency for the particular type of the aircraft.
When you add a training-type duty (defined in Crew Duties > CDR Definition section), i.e. SIM - Leon will also take this simulator-flight into overall 28 days currency calculation. The example below shows that crew RYAN had done SIM flight on 31-03-2014. The date of checking the status is 04-04-2014 - Leon shows that 24 days left to expire the 28 days currency.
INTRODUCTION
According to EU OPS 1.1020, points (a) & (b) - an operator shall ensure that each cabin crew member who has been absent from all flying duties for more than 6 months and still remains within the period of the previous check required by OPS 1.1025(b)3 completes refresher training specified in the Operations Manual as prescribed in Appendix 1 to OPS 1.1020.
Also, an operator shall ensure that when a cabin crew member has not been absent from all flying duties, but has not, during the preceding six months, undertaken duties on a type of aeroplane as a cabin crew member required by OPS 1.990 (b), before undertaking such duties on that type, the cabin crew member either:
1. completes refresher training on the type; or 2. operates two re-familiarisation sectors during commercial trips on the type.
To make this feature work properly, first activate it in the filter of the section Crew > Duties
If there is at least 1 flight added to Leon (for a particular acft type) with a cabin crew member assigned (Journey Log is mandatory) - the system will update the status of 180 days currency, so when you hover the mouse over the status-dot, the information appears in the pop-up window.
The dot-colour changes according to the number of days left to expire.
Leon will also update the status, if a cabin crew member has a duty assigned on the aircraft in the section Crew > Duties (see examples below).
