Useful tips
Below you can find useful hints & tips which will help you in working with Leon.
SCHEDULE - in the tab SHOW, by clicking on Show, Warnings or Cautions, you can untick all checkboxes at once.
Calendar - you can move with the screen horizontally and vertically by dragging it with the mouse.
Fleet - by adding an aircraft X-COM to your fleet you can input flights done by crew for other companies (and FDP will be calculated as for each flight in Leon). By adding a virtual aircraft GROUND you can input duties for the ground staff (you need to add ratings for positions defined in Settings > Aircraft Crew Positions). You can also use that aircraft for storing company documents which should be available to your crew.
Planned Flights - ad-hoc CC email address (for take-off & landing reports) can be added by clicking on the white envelope icon right next to fields ADEP/ADES.
Documents - if you need to monitor whether documents have been returned to the office, you can use a section Schedule > Documents. Email
support@leonsoftware.com with the information what documents should be included in the list (i.e. FTL, PLOG, Load Sheet, Tech Log, etc…)
Home Base Handling Requests - use this section if you often fly to certain airports (i.e. several times a day) where you use the same handling agent - you can send them one email with a file with all scheduled flights to/from that airport, on a particular day.
Fuel prices - click 'Save' at the bottom of the page after the fuel file has been uploaded, to implement new prices.
Custom airports - you can add manually custom airports & airfields to Leon (option available to Leon users with admin privileges).
Endorsements - email notifications regarding endorsements expiry date can be defined in various ways - you can group endorsements into “Rules”, define different time intervals for each “Rule” and assign different recipients who would receive notifications.
Crew Duties - you can set privileges to your crew so that they send duty requests to the roster (displayed in brackets) - check this
chapter for more details.
Crew currency - in a section Settings > Duties Setup you can change number of days for currency monitoring in fields at the bottom of the page. This applies to: 30 days currency, Instrument currency and ILS cat II currency ONLY.
Person labels - in the Crew Duties roster you can filter persons by labels (which also appear right under their names) - labels can be added in the
Phonebook (click
icon).
Crew Input Table - when editing a trip you can copy assigned crew to other trips by marking checkboxes in a column Copy and saving.
