 +====== New aircraft edition panel ======
  
 +
 +The aircraft edition panel is divided into **4** separate sections: BASIC, OPS, SALES and PERFORMANCE. Right below you can see an aircraft status: Active, Not Used or Deleted. Here you can also mark a checkbox **ACMI** if the tail is temporary leased or sub chartered aircraft by your company. Next to it you can see the price that Leon charges for the particular aircraft.
 +
 +==== BASIC ====
 +
 +[{{ :leon:settings:new fleet screen.jpg?200|Aircraft edition panel - basic information}}]
 +
 +This page shows **basic** aircraft information and is split into a few sections, such as:
 +
 +  - **AIRCRAFT TYPE** - __mandatory information is__: the aircraft Name, Short name, IATA code and the aircraft registration. Additional information is: SELCAL (selective-calling number which can alert an aircraft's crew that a ground radio station wishes to communicate with the aircraft) and aircraft phone number.
 +  - **CREW** - __mandatory information is__: minimum required Cockpit & Cabin crew, PAX capacity and Maximum Cargo. Additional information is: default Rest Facility (used for augmented and double crew flights).
 +  - **HOME BASE** - __mandatory information is__: Leon home base (select the base defined in General Setting for your operator) & ICAO home base. Additional information is: year of production & serial number.
 +  - **UNITS** - __mandatory information is__: MTOW (in a default unit defined in General Settings - Leon always shows suggested MTOW for a particular aircraft type). Additional information is: weight unit, fuel unit (also displayed in Journey Log for fuel inputs), Operator/ICAO code (Leon will show the operator name or a code on the Handling Requests form) and the Address.
 +
 +==== OPS ====
 +
 +This tab shows OPS related information of the aircraft, of which the __mandatory__ ones are: Max fuel & Burn fuel on taxi per h. 
 +
 +The additional information is:
 +
 +[{{ :leon:admin-fleet-management:acft firefighting categories.jpg?150|Aircraft 'Rescue & Fire fighting categories}}]
 +
 +  * **Table view colour** - the aircraft colour in a section OPS > Table.
 +  * **No handling needed at home base** -  if marked, Leon will not require sending handling requests email.
 +  * **Default flight type** - select N-non-scheduled, S-scheduled, G-general, X-other or M-military.
 +  * **Default flight rule** - select IFR, VFR or other rules. 
 +  * **ICAO noise category** - the standard of the aircraft noise: Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 10 or Chapter 14.
 +  * **Rescue & fire fighting category** - an option to select the appropriate category depending on the aircraft length (see screenshot on the right).
 +  * **Flight number** - default flight number displayed automatically in a section OPS when adding a new trip.
 +  * **Increase by one** - if marked, adding a flight within one trip will by default increase the flight number by one (ABC1, ABC2, ABC3, ...) if the previous leg ends on any number.
 +  * **Notes** - all information added into this field will appear on a Trip Sheet document.
 +
 +==== SALES ====
 +
 +In this panel you can add 'Airport Fees' & 'Aircraft Fees' (previously set up in a section SALES > FEES). You can also upload an aircraft pictures here which can be used in 'Documents Manager' - uploaded pictures can be added on sales documents.
 +==== PERFORMANCE ====
 +
 +Here you can add the **aircraft performance** data which will be used for calculating **STA** time on all trips on the particular tail.
 +
 +Available fields are: **Climb rate** (ft/min), **Descent rate** (ft/min), **Max Flight Level**, **Max range with '0' PAX** (NM), **Max range with max PAX** (NM) and **Minimum Ground Time** (when you add a new trip and the difference between STA of the last leg and STD of the new leg is less than 'Minimum Ground Time' set in this field, Leon will display a warning message. This value will also be used as a Rotation time for the aircraft and subsequently, towards Rotation prognosis calculation in the TIMELINE view.)
 +
 +Below you can select which calculation **model** you want Leon to apply.
 +
 +**__ADVANCED__**
 +
 +The advanced calculation model can be useful on **short haul** flights, as it is more accurate if it comes to calculating STA.
 +
 +Insert the **IFR Route Factor** (%) - here you can increase GCD (Great Circle Distance).
 +[{{ :leon:settings:advanced performance.png?200|Advance aircraft performance calculation model}}]
 +Define **DISTANCE PROFILES** - use **+** icon to add more entries.
 +
 +  * **Distance** [NM]
 +  * **Miles to Climb** [NM]
 +  * **Climb Time** [hh:mm]
 +  * **Cruise speed** [kts]
 +
 +If, for example, the Distance between ADEP & ADES is 400 NM, Leon will use distance profile added for 300 NM (as in the screenshot). 
 +
 +**__SIMPLE__**
 +
 +Add the aircraft speed adding details into 'From' & 'Cruise speed' fields (just like in the old Fleet version), by defining speed per hour of the flight, i.e.:
 +
 +00:00 275 (knots)
 +
 +01:00 425 (knots)
