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.
-
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.
Enter Settings >
Aircraft Crew Positions - in the filter select an aircraft X-COM and mark appropriate flight positions for cockpit & cabin.
In a section Settings >
Ratings select crew members and add ratings for the airarcft X-COM.
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.
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.
Another step is to add
Ratings for previously chosen positions.
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.
Email
support@leonsoftware.com with the information what documents should be included in the list (i.e. FTL, PLOG, Load Sheet, Tech Log, etc…).
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.
-
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.
Save the PDF file with the planned flights and send it to the handling agent.
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.
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
