FW & JL

Table of Contents

In this section you can add Flight Watch and Journey Log data. Inserted post-flight data to Journey Log allows to generate various kinds of reports in Leon (Crew, OPS, Sales, etc…).

Flight Watch

By clicking on FW & JL column Leon opens the tab in the right-hand side filter. If there is no Journey Log added Leon opens FW tab. If there is a Journey Log added (even if it is partly filled in) Leon opens JL tab.

FW contains several fields where you can input details such as:

• 

  - this button, located in the top-right corner of the FW tab, allows accessing the FW history

• CTOT - calculated takeoff time - if it is the only detail added to FW in Flights List Leon shows S.

• ETD - estimated time of departure - if added to FW Leon shows D. ETD will be automatically removed in case STD is changed by more than 1 hour, unless BLOFF or T/O is entered.

• NI - Next Information - used instead of ETD when a flight is delayed with new ETD unknown.

• BLOFF - block off time - if added to FW Leon shows A.

• T/O - take off time - if added to FW Leon shows A.

• EET - estimated enroute time (T/O + EET should equal ETA. i.e. T/O 12:00, EET 02:30, so ETA should be 14:30). The value is displayed in the format HH:MM, i.e. 02:15.

• ETA - estimated time of arrival.

• LDG - landing - if added to FW Leon shows +.

• BLON - block on time - if added to FW Leon shows +.

• TTO - Target Time Over an aerodrome or a point on the route of flight.

• TOBT - Target Off-Block Time - the time that an aircraft operator / handling agent estimates that an aircraft will be ready to start up / push back immediately after receiving ATC clearance.

• TSAT - Target Start-Up Approval Time. Included in the automatic download of MVT from the Eurocontrol

• TAXITIME - The average taxiing time for the runway in use at the airport of departure, used to calculate take-off times from the off-block times.

• REGUL+ - the identifier of the most penalising regulation imposed on the flight.

• REGCAUSE - the reason for the most penalizing regulation imposed on the flight.

• Pax - number of passengers.

• DIV - diversion - insert the code of the airport to which the flight was diverted.

• Cargo - cargo weight [units as configured under Load Weight in aircraft setup]

• Baggage - baggage weight [units as configured under Load Weight in aircraft setup]

• Mail - mail weight [units as configured under Load Weight in aircraft setup]

• Delay - delay code and the delay time can be inserted (the format: code/delay i.e. 14/0010 where 0010 means 00:10 minutes) - if added to FW Leon shows D.

• Confirmation of data correctness - with Cew App in mind, this checkbox can only be selected by the CPT who certifies that all above details are inserted correctly

• Notes - add notes which can be read by OPS or crew.

• Internal notes - additional notes for internal use that are not included in the MVT Messages. The ‘Internal notes [FW]’ column is available in the Report Wizard > scope ‘Flight’

Date of the time input can be selected for each individual box apart from EET. As soon as you click inside the applicable box Leon will display the date underneath the box in the “ddMMM” format. If there is a need to change the date, simply click on the date displayed below the box and choose the new date from the calendar.

At the bottom of the panel Leon will show information “Last modified by” showing Eurocontrol or SITA and UTC time of the change. For manual changes Leon will show user’s name/surname and UTC time of the change.

If CTOT is removed either manually or by the Eurocontrol message - Leon will show additionally the SLC code, i.e. SLC, DSLC, SLCA, DLSLCA.

Additionally, the following Flight Watch progress indicators are displayed in the ‘Table’ view:

• 

  - BLOFF inserted

• 

  - T/O inserted

• 

  - LDG inserted

• 

  - BLON inserted

Manual MVT Messages

It is possible to send MVT messages manually using selected movement rule as the template source.

To send MVT message manually you have to follow the below steps:

1. Fill in FW and save it.

2. Click on ‘SEND MVT’ button to populate a ‘Send MVT’ pop-up window where you can select Movement rule as the template source. This is a template assigned as an ‘MVT rule’ in a section Settings > MVT Messages to an aircraft you‘re sending the MVT for. - Once you chose a template the system prepopulates message and recipients according to selected ’MVT rule’. You can now customize every part of final message and recipients.

3. If everything is ready, press ‘SEND’.

Importing MVT Messages

Movement messages can be imported to Leon if they are being sent to email address mvt@leon.aero and if they are in one of the below formats:

Eurocontrol

It is possible to receive Flight Watch times automatically to Leon from Eurocontrol servers.

Eurocontrol is an international organisation working to achieve safe and seamless air traffic management across Europe. Eurocontrol works with national authorities, air navigation service providers, civil and military airspace users, airports, and other organisations. Its activities involve all gate-to-gate air navigation service operations: strategic and tactical flow management, controller training, regional control of airspace, safety-proofed technologies and procedures, and collection of air navigation charges. For more information, please visit Eurocontrol website.

In order to integrate with Eurocontrol, you have to open a section Integrations, click ENABLE button, then switch the Status to ON and save changes.

If the Operator ICAO code in the section Settings > General Settings tab is the same as registered with Eurocontrol, the integration will be completed upon saving changes. If the ICAO code in Leon doesn’t match the one registered with Eurocontrol, you will see an error message saying “Operator ICAO not recognized by Eurocontrol”.

Operator’s ICAO designator must be included in the flight plan’s item 7 (Aircraft Identifier), or item 18 (Other Information), sub-field OPR/. In the second case, no other remarks should be added in the OPR/ sub-field, besides ICAO designator.

If your flight numbers in Leon are based on IATA codes instead of ICAO codes, fill the IATA code field in General Settings.

When the integration is completed, Flight Watch in Leon will start receiving flight times from Eurocontrol servers. You will recognise them by opening a Flight Watch and hovering the mouse over the time value, as shown in the screenshot above. Eurocontrol will only send CTOT, ATD, EET, ETA, ATA times and REGCAUSE plus PAX number.

Editing FW data

Closing the Journey Log via the Status item will also block the ability to edit flight data in the Flight Watch section, both in the web and mobile applications.

Editing Flight Watch data will also be restricted for related functionalities, such as integration with Eurocontrol and MVT Messages sent via email.

Once the Journey Log is closed, it can only be reopened from the web application, provided the user has the appropriate permission Allow editing of closed Journey Logs.

Journey Log

You can add flight times to the Journey Log from scratch or copy them from FW or Plan (by clicking the blue button).

The following data is copied from FW: BLOFF, T/O, LDG, BLON, Delay codes, PAX number, Cargo value.

The following data is copied from Plan: BLOFF (from STD), T/O (from STD), LDG (from STA), BLON (from STA), PAX number, Cargo value.

All data inserted into JL is then used in reports.

Apart from the obvious fields in JL such as Date, ADEP, ADES, BLOFF, T/O, LDG and BLON - there are also other available fields split into 2 sections:

• Full JL mandatory fields - these fields can be indicated in the Journey Log configuration section by ticking the checkbox in the ‘Required’ column

• Optional JL fields - any other enabled fields that are not marked as required

For a complete and up-to-date list of all available Journey Log fields with descriptions, see the dedicated page:
👉 Journey Log - available fields

If the JL is inserted by mistake, for example for a future flight, it is possible to delete it. To delete JL you need to click on icon located in the top-right corner of the ‘JL’ tab. There are 3 options available:

• Clear changes - clears data inserted in JL before it is saved. Useful when incorrect data is inserted in the JL and has to be cleared. Rather than clearing it from each individual field

• Cancel Journey Log - cancels saved Journey Log. Cancelling the JL will clear the data as well as display the flight in CALENDAR view as cancelled

• Delete Journey Log - allows deleting JL. Useful when the JL is inserted by mistake, for example, on a future flight. Deleting JL clears mistakenly inserted data as well as keeps the flight active

Fuel in litres & US gallons

It is now possible to add Fuel data in litres or US gallons in the Journey Log panel.

In a section Settings > Fleet, edit the aircraft and set up a default fuel unit as L or US Gal

Once the default fuel unit is set up, you can add fuel in litres or US gallons in the Journey Log panel (as on screenshot below) - the default fuel unit applies to: Block fuel, Used fuel, Remaining fuel and Uplift.

The same defined fuel unit shows in the panel (suitable for adding JL data for multiple sector trip)

We also added Fuel density (kg/L) in the JL section. This field is optional and can be activated in Settings > Flight Editing > Journey Log section.

The default Fuel density values are as per below:

• JET A-1 - 0.81556862 kg/L

• AVGAS - 0.69559241 kg/L

The value is selected by default in the JL based on fuel type set in Settings > Fleet > OPS tab. This field allows amending the density of the fuel with the values between 0 and 1.

The density value is automatically added when creating new refueling. The density value reacts to the ‘Fuel type’ changes in the ‘New Refueling’.

All the reports that take fuel into consideration such as: CO2 emission, Aircraft Flights, Network Departures, columns in Report Wizard will recalculate with accordance to this density value.

Adding JL to multiple sectors

If you want to add Journey Log to multiple sectors on one screen, click

button at the bottom of OPS panel and fill in a new open window (see screenshot on the right).

The ‘Edit trip JL’ window is split into 2 sections”

1. Trip summary - showing an aircraft reg number, flight number, date, ADEP, STD, STA, ADES, Block time and assigned crew (codes).

2. Journey Log - showing all default fields (defined in Settings > Flight Editing) to be filled in.

Deleting Journey Log

To delete a journey log click X icon (between the trash icon and the status dot). Leon will show a blank JL page. Once it‘s saved, in a column FW & JL instead of a dot Leon will show ’X’. To bring a journey log page back click , however, Leon will NOT restore previous entrances - it will only restore JL fields to be filled in again.
