  • Enable engineers to count toward augmented crew / Enable instructors to count toward augmented crew - if this checkbox is ticked, Leon will include 'INS' and engineers ratings towards in-flight rest FDP extension.
  • Show TBC (To Be Confirmed) option on the flight - TBC will show on a flight instead of the departure and arrival times, but only in the OPS Calendar.
  • TAC Airframe increased by one - when enabled, TAC Airframe will calculate as 1, regardless of the number of landings inserted in the Journey Log.
  • STD/STA editing - keep block time - modification of STD and STA values does not affect the change of block time.
  • Block time update after flight time change - it allows selecting the relevant behavior of block time value after the flight time change in the OPS section. This setting is explained in more details further down this page.
  • Reset handlers after aircraft change? - this function is designed to reset the departure and destination handlers when there is a change of aircraft on a flight.
  • Default airport for simulators - you can select one default airport for all simulator sessions.
  • OPS warnings/cautions trigger forward period (days) - you can define a number of days, for which warnings, cautions and notices will be checked in OPS. If you enter 0, the checks will only be done until midnight (UTC). If empty, the period will be infinite.

Block time update after Flight Time change settings

It is possible to select the Block Time recalculation method after the Flight Time update in the OPS section.

The recalculation method can be set in the Admin Panel > 'Flight Editing' > 'Block time update after flight time change' setting.

The following methods are available in the 'Block time update after flight time change' setting:

  • No block update
  • Update block (no rounding)
  • Update block (round to 5 minutes)
  • Update block (round to 10 minutes)
To trigger new settings in the OPS section, it is sufficient to refresh Leon page after updating the 'Block time update after flight time change' option.

EXAMPLES

Below are some examples of Block time recalculations

No block update

In this method, Block time is not automatically recalculated after the Flight Time update. This might lead to a situation, where the Block time is shorter than the Flight time.

In the below example, Flight time is updated from 00:45 to 01:10 and the Block time remains unchanged.

Update block (no rounding)

In this method, Block time is automatically recalculated based on the new Flight time and the taxi times from the values before the update

In the below example, Flight time is updated from 00:45 to 00:55 and the Block time is recalculated based on the same 15 minutes of taxi time from 01:00 to 01:10

Update block (round to 5 minutes)

In this method, Block time is automatically recalculated based on the new Flight time and the taxi times from the values before the update and rounded to the next round value of 5 minutes.

In the below example, Flight time is updated from 00:45 to 00:58 and the Block time is recalculated based on the same 15 minutes of taxi time (00:58 + 00:15 = 01:13), rounded to the next 5 minutes value updates the Flight time from 01:00 to 01:15.

When rounding the timeframe, any value from xx:x0 to xx:x2 is rounded down to xx:x0, and any value from xx:x3 to xx:x5 is rounded to xx:x5. For example, the value of 01:02 will be rounded to 01:00 and the value of 01:03 will be rounded to 01:05.

Update block (round to 10 minutes)

In this method, Block time is recalculated similarly to the 'Update block (round to 5 minutes)' method but the value is rounded to the next 10 minutes.

In the below example, Flight time is updated from 00:45 to 00:53 and the Block time is recalculated based on the same 15 minutes of taxi time (00:53 + 00:15 = 01:08), rounded to the next 10 minutes value, updating the flight time from 01:00 to 01:10.

When rounding the timeframe, any value from xx:x0 to xx:x4 is rounded down to xx:x0, and any value from xx:x5 to xx:x9 is rounded to xx:x5. For example, the value of 01:02 will be rounded to 01:00 and the value of 01:05 will be rounded to 01:10.

Trip type settings

'Trip type settings' subsection

In this section it is possible to set up:

  • Default trip type per operator
  • Active trip types, the Default Commercial types, and the Default ICAO Type

Default trip type will be applied to the new trips created or booked. The trip type selection can only be made from the active trip types selected in the table located underneath. 'Default trip type' per aircraft can be selected in the Fleet section.

In the table, it is possible to select which trip types are used by the Operator, which ones should be set up as commercial, and what Default ICAO types should be assigned.

Only the types selected as active will be available in the 'TRIP' tab > 'Type' dropdown.


Flight time suggestions based on

This section allows selecting the options which will be used for flight time suggestions. The options available are:

  • GCG
  • GCD - historical average winds
  • Historical flights
  • RouteFinder

Custom Delay Codes

Here you can define your own Delay Codes which then will be used in Journey Log and Flight Watch.


IATA SERVICE TYPE

It is possible to include IATA Service Type when sending ASM or SSIM messages from Leon.

The 1st step is to enable this functionality by marking a checkbox in the Admin panel, section 'Flight Editing'. In the same section it's possible to define a default IATA Service type

All available IATA Service types are explained in the screenshot on the right.

When enabled, the IATA Service type will show for each flight in the 'OPS' panel, tab 'FLIGHT'- it can be manually changed if necessary.

The list of IATA Service types

It also shows in the panel SCHED (when creating or modifying the schedule).

The main section where IATA Service type will be especially useful is sending the ASM message window from the SHOW SCHEDULE panel.
