Scope - Flight Statistics

Overview

The Flight Statistics scope provides aggregated, summary-level data derived from flight operations. Unlike the Flights scope — which returns one record per individual flight — this scope groups flights according to a chosen dimension (such as aircraft, route, month, or trip type) and calculates totals and averages across those groups. This makes it the right choice whenever you need a consolidated view of operational performance rather than a flight-by-flight list.

Operators use this scope to analyse trends over time, compare aircraft utilisation, review payload efficiency, and monitor block and flight time distributions. It draws data from three sources — the flight schedule ([Plan]), the Journey Log ([JL]) recorded after each flight, and Flight Watch ([FW]) real-time tracking — so you can compare planned versus actual performance within the same report.

What reports can you build with this scope?

Examples of typical reports operators build with this scope:

Monthly block time summary by aircraft — total and average block hours per aircraft over a selected period, sourced from both plan and Journey Log
Fleet utilisation overview — total flight count and cumulative flight time grouped by aircraft type
Cargo throughput analysis — sum and average of cargo loaded and unloaded (in kg or lbs) grouped by route or month
PAX volume report — total and average passenger numbers per aircraft or trip type, comparing scheduled versus Journey Log figures
SAF fuel blend tracking — average Sustainable Aviation Fuel blend percentage across flights, grouped by aircraft or period
