APU Totals Configuration

When an APU component is added to an aircraft profile, there is a new selection called Log Time with two options, Totals and Time Used.

If set to Totals, then the calculation will work like it does currently by taking the highest number entered on any flight log for that APU. If the setting is Time Used, it will work like an Engine where it will add the hours/cycles entries from the logs (plus any baseline hours/cycles entered on the APU record itself) to get the total. The default for new components will be Totals and all existing APU components are going to be set to Totals when the feature goes live to maintain current functionality. Once an APU is setup and this setting is selected, the user cannot change it.

If an active APU is setup on the aircraft, in the flight log, the labels will show either Totals or Time Used. The Total APU Hours/Cycles for an aircraft will be calculated based on the Log Time setting for the active APU.

Mapping Improvements

The following updates applies to the airport search map that can be accessed from the Airports > Airport Search page along with the map popup from the Trip/Quote create page and trip leg.

Airport Default Search

When a user opens the airport search (applicable areas outlined above), the Airport radio button is now selected by default instead of the Address search since this is the most common use case.

Great Circle Route Display

When a user searches for multiple airports (applicable areas outlined above), the line that is drawn will now show the great circle arch instead of a straight line.

Improve Quote Quick Search Experience

In the quote search page, when the user clicks search, if the number of results returned is greater than 100, it will show a gray bar at the top of the search page which will cover up the export buttons and the quick search. This gray bar will display both the number of records loaded and the total number of records coming back based on the filter.

The number of records loaded will increase and will do 2000 records each time until it gets to the total number. Once all of the records are loaded, the gray bar goes away and it shows the total number loaded along with the export and quick search functionality. Since all of the records are now loaded on the page, there is no longer a paging element at the bottom right corner of the page and the selection to determine how many results to load per page.

Additionally, if the user loads more than 200 records, and they scroll down the results, once they have gotten to the 200th record, it will continue to load the next 200. The quick search does work across all results, but for performance reasons, there is “lazy loading” on the scroll.

Schedule Board Updates

White Space Solution 2

The following update applies to the Schedule Board, such as, flight legs and personnel events, when the Show Event Length By settings is toggled to the Fixed view, only. All scheduled events will resize to be the height of the max lines of any given template. This is regardless of whether a scheduled event of that type is displayed on the timeline or not. If the template for that object has less than the max number of lines in its template, then extra space/blank lines will display below to meet the line requirement.

Change Aircraft Context Menu

On the Schedule Board, when the user right clicks on a flight leg the context menu will now display an option to Change Aircraft.

When selected a pop up will appear displaying all legs for that trip with drop downs available for the user to Change All Legs or to change the aircraft on each leg of the trip. This pop up is the same as the pop up the user sees when they click Multiple next to aircraft on the trip page.

When the Change Aircraft pop up is launched from the Schedule Board the leg the user used to initiate the aircraft change will be highlighted in blue. Additionally, when the pop up window is launched from either the Schedule Board or the trip record it will now auto check the ‘Recalculate Flight Time where the Aircraft has changed’ checkbox. When Save Changes is clicked from the pop up, the board will refresh leaving the user on the same view but will move the legs to the new aircraft selected by the user.

In the event a trip is locked, or if the leg is partially logged or logged, then the Change Aircraft option in the context menu will be disabled. If the trip has legs that have been logged and not logged then the Change Aircraft will still be able to be selected on the legs that are not logged but the pop up window will disable the drop down for the legs that have been partially logged or logged.

Alphabetize Crew in Training Programs

When a user is in Crew Records > Programs > click into the program > Personnel tab, the list of personnel names within the program is now alphabetized by last name, then first name, then middle initial (if provided). The names display as First, Middle initial, Last name which matches the name format in the drop down box used to add personnel to the training program.

The name format in the drop down box was changed from First Last to First + Middle Initial (if provided) + Last. The "reorder" arrow has been removed from the column, names will only display in alpha order by last name > first name > middle initial, they cannot be reordered in the table.

Pax Name Search and Display

When on the Pax tab within a trip, on the leg summaries (expanded or collapsed), the displayed name will include: First + Middle + Last + Suffix + "Nickname". When the user opens the Account Contact list / Find Contact search, the displayed name fields will include: Last, First + Middle + Suffix + "Nickname".

Users can now search Account Contacts and Find Contacts search by entering 2 letters only, then all possible results/matches should display below. Previously, 3 letters were required to initiate the search. Users may also search by Suffix or Nickname.

Deactive Crew Medicals

This update applies to the crew members Medical’s tab within their profile. This can be found by proceeding to My Company > Personnel > selecting the user > Crew Info tab > Medical.

Multiple Active Toggle

When the user is adding in a new medical to the crew members profile a toggle is now present that allows the user to either keep all currently active Medicals in their active status or to deactivate all previously active ones. The default for this setting is NO.

  • If the toggle is set to YES, then when the user saves the entry and closes the Medical edit plane all other Medical records for that personnel are removed as Active (/made inactive).

  • If the toggle is set to NO, then when the user saves the entry and closes the Medical edit plane all other Medical records retain whatever Active status they have saved and no further changes are made.

Active Medical Column

When accessing the crew members Personnel Profile and the Crew Info tab is visible there is now a new column of Active within the Medicals section to show the entries status.

  • YES = Active box is checked

  • NO = Active box is unchecked

TSA Administrator Role

A new user role has been added called TSA Administrator to specifically allow access to the TSA Watchlist area of the application. When a user has this role applied, they have access to the Operations > TSA Watchlist tab and they are able to utilize the full feature set within this tab. If the user only has this role assigned to their login they will receive an access denied message if they attempt to navigate to other tabs within the Operations page.

Personnel Administrator Role

A new user role has been added called Personnel Administrator to allow for creation and editing of users. When a user has this role applied, they have access to My Company > Personnel > Create from the main navigation. This will then allow them to create new personnel members for the organization and to also edit any and all values including user role assignments.
