The general view on OPS > Table section

Adding positioning duty and positioning option from a section Table

The philosophy of working in the section Table is to use filters to display desired activities in the middle section of the screen and then modify selected properties of those activities using the right-hand panel. Date range and format of displayed information can be altered using the top bar. By clicking TODAY Leon shows current day activities as well as other days.

You can select a number of days for flights view in the drop-down box (top-right corner of the screen), or leave as 'No Limit' to see as many flights as the screen can fit.

The refresh screen icon can be used for manual page refreshing, although Leon refreshes the screen every 2 minutes itself.

You can view flights and positionings duties. Legs of the same trip are marked with the thick, blue line. Positioning duties added from a section Crew > Duties (selected from the bottom of the duties list) also appear in Table. If there is a note inserted (in Crew > Duties), then those duties appear on white background as

When adding Positioning duty from Table, it is possible to add it as an option - it will appear in stripes (see screenshot on the right).

Leon will display type of flight by marking Flight no. column with the relevant colour. When you hover the mouse over the flight number Leon will show notes inserted into a tab FLIGHT (both: OPS & SALES).

You will also see Aircraft colour in ACFT column - the colour can be defined in a section Settings > Fleet.

If the flight is added as Ambulance, Cargo, Simulator or Training type, these types will display in the PAX column. In addition, Ambulance type flights will display the number of PAX in brackets if passengers are added, i.e Ambulance(2) for Ambulance type flights with 2 PAX.

Flight change status in OPS Table

The colour coding used in that feature is explained in the table below.

Flight change status in OPS Calendar

Flight change status in OPS Timeline

The changes which trigger the status change from 'acknowledged' to 'changed' are:

• aircraft
• flight number
• airports
• times
• crew

The feature is present in OPS Table, as well as in OPS Calendar and OPS Timeline. In the cases of OPS Calendar and OPS Timeline, the status will be indicated as a colour-coded left border of the flight.

The status can be changed to 'acknowledged' by clicking the corresponding button in the context (right-click) menu of the flight.

The button will appear only if the status is different than 'acknowledged'.

- appears if at least one of the selected flights is 'new'

- appears if at least one of the selected flights is 'changed', and none of them is 'new'

Panel 'Aircraft' of the OPS section

Aircraft panel allows to define for which tails Leon should show flights in a section OPS. On the options-bar click (where circled-blue is the number of active tails) and Leon will show a new poop-up window, where you can mark/unmark particular tails.

Use 'Filter' or 'Sort by' options to chnage the order of tails in the Calendar panel. You can also chnage the order by drag & dropping the tail in the pop-up window.

  • Day and trip - all flights are grouped by trip number and then sorted by STD (typical OPS setting)

Editing trip - the view of the bottom panel

If you click button at the bottom of the screen an additional panel will show up.

If the selected activity is a flight, the whole trip (series of flights) will open in the bottom window with the selected leg in shaded green.

You can edit each column (Flight No., Date, STD/STA or PAX) and modify it. STA field will show an estimated time of arrival based on GCD and the aircraft perfprmance data inserted in its profile (which can be defined in a Fleet section), GCD including winds, archived flights (min. 5 on the same route) and Route Finder.

Quote number shows right before UTC/LT switcher:

You can also add a new leg in this section by clicking + or delete a leg by clicking

While you are editing a trip in the bottom panel, you can still use the right properties panel to access given sector details and modify them.

Apart from the standard schedule information, the bottom EDIT TRIP panel also shows 'Crew' column. This column has A/B format where 'A' indicates a number of cockpit crew and 'B' stands for cabin crew, e.g. 2/1 means 2 cockpit and 1 cabin. If there is no crew assigned Leon will mark it with '-' (2/- for no cabin crew). If you hover the mouse over the 'Crew' number indication Leon will display Crew codes assigned to the flight.

An additional option in Editing Trip panel is possibility of entering Cargo value. Switch to Cargo or PAX & Cargo in Settings > Flight Editing section in Trip edit scheme drop-down.

Leon will mark a cargo flight as 'Ferry' only if both 'PAX' and 'Cargo' are set to '0' in trip edition panel.

The transferring of a non-operating crew member from one place to another, at the behest of the operator, is an important thing in aviation industry. In Leon you can add positioning duties and assign crew in 2 easy ways.

Positionings in OPS

Default Positioning Checklist items

Positioning included in FTL calculation

You can add Positioning by clicking button at the bottom of Schedule view.

When a new window shows, enter details such as:Name, Date, STD, Departure, Destination and STA. Duration will calculate itself.

Multiple Positioning sectors

function has an option to add more than one Positioning sectors for the crew.

Adding multiple Positioning sectors

To add multiple Positioning sectors you have to:

1. Click on 'NEW POSITIONING' button and start inserting the details of the positioning as you normally would, including the crew.
2. Make sure that checkbox is ticked.
3. Click 'SAVE' to finish the process of adding the first Positioning sector. Leon will save the first sector and automatically populate the 'NEW POSITIONING' entry for the following sector with the existing Crew assigned. You can add or remove Crew at any time. The checklist on each new Positioning will reset to

In order to save the last Positioning, untick the checkbox and click on 'SAVE'. If the last Positioning has already been added and the “NEW POSITIONING' window populated, just click on 'CANCEL'.

Adding SIM duty

To add a new Simulator as the plan, click on button. Once a pop-up window shows, fill it in with details such as Aircraft type, Date, ADEP, ADES, BLOFF, BLON. Information inserted in the 'Place' field will display in the 'Flight No' column in the OPS view.

Additionally, it is possible to change the default reporting times in the 'Report on' and 'Report off' fields.

Initially, it is possible to add a SIM session without having to insert the crew as long as no Journey Log fields are filled in. Once the JL field is filled in, at least one crew has to be assigned.

Crew positions which can be added to SIM duty are CPT, FO, LTC, TRI, TRE, FE, FE2.

'Night T/O', 'Night LDG', 'Approach' and 'Approach type' fields will show only if these fields are activated in 'Flight editing' > 'Journey Log Items' section. When editing an existing Simulator session, these fields will show only if they were previously applied.

Once the SIM duty is done you can add details: T/O, LDG, Landings, Pilot Flying, Approach and Notes and Leon will show SIM duty in OPS with the grey colour indication and green dot.

In order to edit the Simulator, you need to click on it and the pop-up 'Edit Simulator' window will appear. There, you can update the relevant details and save the changes.

In OPS you can add a new trip regardless of section you work with: TABLE, CALENDAR, or TIMELINE.

Adding a new trip in section OPS

Click the button NEW TRIP to add 1 or more legs. Select an aircraft, flight number (Leon assign it automatically if 'Default flight number' has been defined in fleet edition screen), date, STD, ADEP/ADES, STA. You can also add the PAX number or leave the trip as a ferry.

In section CALENDAR you can also add a new trip by right-clicking the mouse over the square.

Buttons UTC & LT allow switching between times while adding a new trip.

Leon suggests STA if a particular aircraft speed details are added in the fleet edition section, using GCD and/or average winds. STA suggestion can also be based on a minimum of 5 of the same historical routes.

Additionally, RouteFinder flight time calculations are available.

'RouteFinder' does not require separate integrations and is available by default in Leon.

'RouteFinder' calculates the flight times based on the routing.

In order to have the option available, the Include Route Finder time hint checkbox needs to be activated in the Flight editing section.

The flight time is calculated automatically and the dropdown suggests the block time value. It is based on the flight time calculation from the RouteFinder plus the taxi times from the Airport Directory.

'RouteFinder' also takes into consideration 'Exclusion zones' that can be set per Operator ('Sales Module' tab in 'General settings'), and the Fleet ('Sales' tab).

The winds database will allow for more accurate flight time calculations in OPS and SALES sections. The winds data is available here.

To add more legs to the trip click + and to delete a leg click

You can also add a new positioning, new office, or new reservation by clicking appropriate buttons placed next to NEW TRIP.

Aircraft max range alert

Max range alert with 'Distance' field left empty

We have added an alert if the max range of the aircraft is exceeded.

In order to get the warning working you need to make sure that the following fields are filled in in the Fleet section:

• Capacity
• Max range with PAX
• Max range with 0 PAX
• Aircraft speeds

When adding a flight, Leon will show a max range alert if:

• field 'Distance' is filled in when adding a flight and higher than the max range for the aircraft in Fleet settings,
• field 'Distance' is left empty or 0 inserted. In this case, Leon will recalculate the time of the flight into the distance based on the four values listed above.

If the range is exceeded Leon will also mark the aircraft red in the OPS view.

'Copy Trip' feature

It is possible to copy the whole trip in the OPS sections.

In order to copy a trip you need to perform the following steps:

Once there has been an aircraft maintenance scheduled in Leon (described in THIS manual chapter) you can check CAMO limits when editing a trip in Table panel. Click and Leon will show one of the three CAMO limits messages:

- TAH & TAC on the editing flight are ahead of the limits defined in Scheduled Maintenance section (and TAH & TAC warning margins defined in the aircraft profile have not been crossed).

Example: current TAH 450:00 TAC 150; Maintenance limits: TAH 480:00 TAC 165; warning margins: TAH 20:00 TAC 10

- CAMO limits have crossed warning margins defined in the aircraft profile.

Example: current TAH 470:00 TAC 160; Maintenance limits: TAH 480:00 TAC 165; warning margins: TAH 20:00 TAC 10

- CAMO limits have been exceeded.

Example: current TAH 482:00 TAC 167; Maintenance limits: TAH 480:00 TAC 165

You can check the exact TAH & TAC details when you hover the mouse over one of these three icons:

To print documents you need to mark particular leg/legs of the trip (in the checkbox) right-click of the mouse and select documents from the list.

Leon allows you to select different flights performed on the same aircraft - even if they are not on the same day - to the same 'Flight Order' or 'Trip Sheet'. The same applies to 'General Declaration' (if you tick i.e. 5 flights - 5 separate documents will get printed), 'Pax Manifest' or 'Pax Information'.

Tick flights in the first column on the left, right-click with the mouse (it does not matter where you point the mouse-arrow) and a pop-up window will show up. Select the documents and it will get printed.

If you select only one leg of a multiple-legged trip and right-click with the mouse, you will see 2 available buttons on top: TRIP and LEG. Select LEG to print documents for just that marked leg.

You can include ADEP/ADES Handler when sending the OPS/Sales/Custom documents. Handling agent has to be selected in the OPS checklist. If the Handling agent is not selected, the checkbox at the corresponding handler will be inactive. Additionally, the checkbox will be inactive if the selection includes positioning. The checkbox status is remembered by Leon.

Additionally, the documents can be sent to the 'Aircraft email'. This is the email inserted in the 'Fleet' sections > 'SALES' tab of edited aircraft details. The 'Aircraft email' is a BCC type email.

It is also possible to send the documents to CrewBriefing. More information can be found here.

Flight Order is an internal document generated for each trip required by CAA. In Leon, the format of this document can be customised. The Flight Order number looks like a date format, however, its number is a consecutive 'Flight Order' number issued in a particular month, i.e. 6-07-2013 means, that it is the 6th consecutive 'Flight Order' issued in July.

Flight Order patterns are available in Documents Manager panel - click select 'Flight Order' and view 1 of the 3 available templates. If you are happy with a particular one, insert the version and save. To publish it click the white dot.

General Declaration document

This document lists inbound and outbound flight details and crew names. It is being requested by the immigration authorities at some airports of arrival. The pattern of 'General Declaration' also includes 'Declaration of Health' with the space for notes and signatures along with the general declaration signature signed by PIC. The text can be modified upon request.

It is possible to have a General Declaration document including passengers details - go to a section Settings > Documents Manager, click 'New Template' and select one of the 5 available templates, including GenDec UK or GenDec US.

Trip Sheet - flight & checklist information

This document includes basic information about the flight, which is important for the crew and must be acknowledged by the crew before the flight.

• Crew Trip Sheet - information such as: crew names & functions, FDP details, clients, registration marks and call signs of the aircraft, OPS contact data, flight schedule details, handling agents contact details, fuel info and overflight/landing permissions.
• Flight Service Notices - PAX names, passport numbers & expiry dates, nationality details. Information about PAX catering, transport, special requests, crew HOTAC, crew transport and additional info can also be included.

This document shows all PAX information including: name & surname, D.O.B., passport no. & expiry date, nationality. All these details need to be entered in the 'Pax Database' in the Phonebook before they can be further used in Leon.

If you add passengers information to Leon manually (which means you don't use Pax Database data added to Leon in the section 'Phonebook > Pax Database') it is still possible to view it on 'Pax Manifest document.

Manually added pax data on 'Pax Manifest' document

Go to Documents Setup and enable this option by ticking the “Show on Pax Manifest” checkbox (at the bottom of the page).

If you hover the mouse over the '?' the information will show up: 'Show pax list in the text mode on Pax Manifest document. Correct data has to be entered in the format: No. gender surname name date-of-birth passport no. passport expiry date nationality. Columns have to be separatedd by comma.'

The below example explains how it works.

• Add pax details in the 'Legs Info' section

1, Surname Name, DoB, Passport No, Date of Expiry, Country of Issue

for example:

1, Mr, Smith John, 01-01-2000, ABC1235786, 31-12-2020, U.K.

The gender will be displayed as:

1. M if inserted as Mr
2. F if inserted as Mrs, Miss or Ms
3. CHD if inserted as Child
4. INF if inserted as Infant

• Go to Flights List page - mark appropriate flight/flights in the 1st column, right-click of the mouse and select Pax Manifest document to get pax data.

Pax Information - flight brief for passengers

Some operators require an extra document for their passengers with a brief information about the upcoming flight.

The document includes:

• Trip number
• Flight information: flight date and aircraft type & registration
• Airport information & schedule times
• Airport handling details: agents names & phone numbers
• Passengers details: for all sectors
• Catering provision
• Crew information: names, functions & contact phone numbers

If you are sending OPS documents Leon will automatically populate e-mail addresses of the Crew assigned to this flight. E-mails are taken from Work email in User Profile section. From email address is imported from work email of the person sending the documents.

Journey Log - entire trip post-flight data

In Leon you can add the Journey Log data in 2 ways:

1. In the right-hand filter, tab FW & JL - here you can add data leg by leg, described in THIS CHAPTER of manual.
2. By using button placed at the bottom of the screen, next to EDIT TRIP.

The 2nd way is useful if a trip has 2,3,4 or more legs, as Leon shows a Journey Log window for the entire trip, where you can easily enter post-flight data leg after leg. If you need more items to be displayed in your Journey Log you can add them in a section Settings > Flight Editing.

Flight times are mandatory to be inserted into the EDIT LOG panel for each leg, in order the trip Journey Log to be saved. If you have an option Allow not completed JL to be entered switched on in Settings section, you are able to save the Journey Log without fuel data (such input appears in the TABLE view as an orange dot, instead of green dot).

Flights changes history - an option to check all actions done in the trip

To check all changes done in the trip you need to right-click with the mouse over a selected flight and click a link which opens a new window, where all changes are displayed.

In the changes history window Leon shows chronological list of all changes (the latest on top). The colours indication shows added data in green, changed data in yellow and removed data in red.

When you click on the changed detail, Leon highlights previous entrances of the same detail. On the screenshot below you can see highlighted STA 15:55, then also 15:43 (previous STA) and 14:42 (initial STA).

If the flight has been deleted in Leon you can still check its history (as long as the option to keep deleted flights as crossed-out is enabled) in case you want to know who deleted it and when.

ASM message option

It is now possible to send Ad Hoc Schedules Message (ASM) from 'Show Schedule' section in Leon.

In order to send the message, you need to go to 'Show Schedule' option in the Documents Menu in OPS view and switch the option from 'Plain Text' to 'ASM' in the top-left dropdown.

'ASM' message email option will populate. Currently, there are 3 options available:

• NEW - Insertion of New Flight Information - used to send the information about the new flights
• CNL - Cancellation - used to send the information about cancelled flights
• RPL - Replacement of Existing Flight Information - used to send the information about changes on the flights

DCS & PSS systems.

SSIM (Standard Schedules Information Manual) panel in Leon (available in Settings), allows to send ASM (Adhoc Scheduled Message) messages to DCS (Departure Control System) & PSS (Passenger Service System) from a section OPS.

The 1st step to make it work is adding default email addresses in Settings > SSIM panel.

The 2nd step is sending ASM message to DCT & PSS systems from the checklist section of the panel OPS.

Each operator has 2 checklist items DCS & PSS available in the Settings > Flight Editing > OPS Checklist Items section. The items are not marked, so either need to be marked to appear on each single flight, or added from 'ADD ITEM' panel of the checklist in OPS section. Once added, they will appear with the SEND button.

By clicking SEND button for DCS or PSS item, Leon shows a new pop-up window, which shows pre-defined message. Leon shows 3 types of messages in formats as on screenshots below (formats are the same for DCS & PSS systems). If no default email address has been added in Settings > SSIM, Leon will show a warning information: “DCS/PSS or 'From' email is not set”.

1. NEW - Insertion of New Flight Information - displayed when sending ASM message for the new flight.

2. RPL - Replacement of Exisitng Flight Information - displayed when re-sending ASM message to DCS.

3. CNL - Cancellation - displayed when a flight has been deleted.

Once ASM message has been sent out, Leon will change the checklist item's status automatically to 'Sent'. If the schedule was changed or a flight has been deleted, the DCS or PSS item's status will turn to '?'

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