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.

  2. Edit group Crew and go to tab Privileges.
  3. Open a section Crew by clicking , do the same with sub-section Duty Roster.

Crew currency

It is possible to adjust the number of days for some of the crew currency calculations.

  1. Enter section Settings > Duties Setup.
  2. At the bottom of the screen you can find 3 fields where you can make adjustements.
  3. If necessary, correct the days threshold for: 30 days currency, Instrument currency and ILS cat II currency.
  4. You can check your crew currency status in a section Crew Duties by marking a checkbox Show dot in the filter and hoovering the mouse over the dot next to crew name.
