Useful tips

Below you can find useful hints & tips which will help you in working with Leon.

X-COM

You can add flights performed by your crew for other companies and monitor FTLs.

  1. Go to Settings > Fleet.
  2. Click 'Add new aircraft' and in a field 'Aircraft Type' insert X-COM and fill in other mandatory fields: aircraft short name, registration (i.e. X-COM or CREW) and home base.
  3. Enter Settings > Aircraft Crew Positions - in the filter select an aircraft X-COM and mark appropriate flight positions for cockpit & cabin.
  4. In a section Settings > Ratings select crew members and add ratings for the airarcft X-COM.
  5. You can now add flights on X-COM and check FTLs in a report FTL Sheet.

GROUND staff duties

If you need to add duties to the roster also for your GROUND staff (office, maintenance, sales, etc…) you can do that by adding an aircraft GROUND to your fleet.

  1. Adding this aircraft should be done in the same way as it was done with all other tails - you just need to insert GND in a field 'Aircraft Type', fill in mandatory fields and assign appropriate Aircraft Crew Positions in a tab Ground.
  2. Another step is to add Ratings for previously chosen positions.
  3. Crew with ratings on GND will appear in the Crew Duties roster, at the bottom of the screen.

Flight documents

You can monitor whether documents have been returned to the office by the crew or not.

  1. Email support@leonsoftware.com with the information what documents should be included in the list (i.e. FTL, PLOG, Load Sheet, Tech Log, etc…).
  2. Once it's set up you will see flights with columns (documents) where you will be able to mark if a particular document has been returned to the office.

Home Base Handling Requests

This section can be useful if you often fly to certain airports (i.e. several times a day) where you use the same handling agent.

  1. Go to a section Handling > Home Base Handling Request.
  2. In the filter input airport code which is the airport of the service. If the same handling agent also operates on a different airport you can insert that airport's code in the second field.
  3. Save the PDF file with the planned flights and send it to the handling agent.
  • Custom airports - you can add manually custom airports & airfields to Leon (option available to Leon users with admin privileges).
  • 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).
  • Per Diems - Leon can calculate per diems for your crew - send the rules and description of your per diems to our team support@leonsoftware.com.
  • Report 'Custom Flights List' - it's a report where you decide what data should appear on it by marking appropriate checkboxes in the filter > columns. Use more options in the lower part of the filter to make your report even more complete.
