This is an old revision of the document!
By going to a section Settings > Duties Setup (tab Definition), you will find a New definition link where you can enter a new duty. For a proper display it should be one-letter code, for example: D for duty, T for training or V for vacation.
Right below there is a drop-down box wher you need to select a Type of a duty: Duty, Off or Training. If the duty should be included in FTL calculations mark a checkbox AOC.
Default times field allows you to define times that should be automatically chosen when you add a particular duty.
A drop-down box Aircraft can be used to assign your defined duty on a particular tail. In other words you can select aircraft registration, so that each aircraft will have a separate duty-colour.
Option Include in planning means that the crew that the duty is assigned to will be automatically added to a flight on the day on this particular aircraft.
A field Legend is where you should add a full duty name. You can also select a colour for the new duty to appear in the duty roster.
Some OM-A-7 regulations define different FDP and Duty period calculations when it comes to different types of Standby duties.
When you define Standby duty you need to select type 'Duty' and mark a checbox 'AOC', then select a standby type:
Leon allows you to monitor crew currency:
You can check the amount of currency days left to expire by simply hovering the mouse over the status-dot right next to the crew name in section Crew Duties.
To turn the feature on go to Settings > Duties Setup, and mark appropriate checkboxes and appropriate positions.
Then go to Crew Duties and in the filter mark a checkbox Show dot - Leon will show the number of days left to expire a particular currency if you hove the mouse over the status-dot next to the crew name.
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.
To make this module work you need to add who has flown each leg to journey log. If it was the same pilot, insert his code in the field Flown by. If the take off and the landing was done by two different pilots, insert both codes divided by a slash (see a screenshot on the right).
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.
This feature works similarly to 90 days multi-pilot currency. The difference is that for single-pilot Leon calculates 5 take-offs & landings in 90 days according to ORO.FC.202 ©(2)(i) regulation.
To enable it go to Settings > Duties Setup and in tab General mark a '90 days currency (single pilot)' checbox.
In a section Crew Duties hover the mouse over the status-dot to check how many days left the currency to be expired.
This currency monitors if there was at least 3 single-pilot take-offs and landings at night in 90 days according to regulation ORO.FC.202(d)(2)(i)).
The time considered for this currency calculation should be LT at aerodrome of take-off or landing (if it's at least 1 minute after the sunset).
Mark a checkbox 90 days night currency in section Settings > Duties Setup to enable this feature.
This is a simple option to monitor whether a pilot has flown as CPT or FO within the last 30 days.
However, it is possible to change the number of days from 30 to i.e. 45 by inserting 45 into the field In crew currency threshold. This can be done in section Settings > General Settings.
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:
To make this feature work properly, first activate it in the filter of the section Crew > Duties by marking a checkbox 180 days currency (cabin)
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:
In section Settings > Flight Editing you can add a field Approach to your Journey Log, then in a Journey Log you can select an appropriate approach. One of them is ILS cat II.
In Leon you can monitor if a pilot has done at least 3 'ILS cat II' approaches within the last 6 months.
To enable it go to Settings > Duties Setup mark a checkbox 'ILS cat II currency'.
Adding ratings to crew means making them avaiable on the list to choose from when adding a new flight. If you give a rating CPT to a pilot, then when you click on CPT field in Edit Flight screen you will be able to select him for that position.
In Crew Ratings screen you can see all crew members with previously added ratings sorted alphabetically. In the filter you can select aircraft type, function type or a person (to see only his ratings).
In order to assign a crew member to a flight you need to specify what his position is on a particular aircraft type (CPT, FO, FA, etc.). It is very important, because when adding crew to the flight, a crew member without ratings assigned will not appear in the crew suggestion drop-down list in the edit flight screen.
Go to Crew > Ratings, select the name from the list of cre members or find the person in the filter and click their name (in blue). Select the aircraft type and tick ratings from the list, then click 'Update'.
If you want to add a function that is not on the list, go to Admin > Functions and follow steps described in the chapter Functions.
Once ratings have been added, you can specify if a particular crew member is experienced on the assigned position or not by ticking the box Experienced. It is up to the Operator what criteria are applied to mark the crew member as experienced.
Leon will highlight crew in red in Flights List section if two unexperienced pilots are assigned on the same flight. When clicking on the highlighted crew you will find warning:
Both CPT & FO are not experienced on G450. You can change their experience in Crew > Ratings page.
In this section you input all the necessary details (amounts, currency, mode) so that the panel works properly and the wages match performed flights by your crew members.
There are 2 modes available:
In this mode you can see columns such as:
IMPORTANT!
Example:
Default currency is set as EUR. There are 2 airports for which per diems should be calculated in a different currency: STN - currency GBP, SSH - currency USD. When the column 'Currency/EUR rate' for these 2 airport is set as '0' - both currencies will be converted to EUR , which will be displayed in the Per Diems report.
In this mode you can define the workflow of calculating, checking and approving per diems. You can select people who will be responsible for approving it as well as person who can do payments. Pilots can also check their per diems and either approve them or reject.
For the exact mechanism of how the diets are calculated in Workflow mode go to Per Diems section of this manual
