Operational Control: Operated By Leg
Within each flight leg is a field labeled "Operated by", located above the “Proposed” duty time. The intention of this field is to provide a record of who is operating that particular flight leg. There are a few possible scenarios/choices that determine what populates in this field and the various option.
When the Account field from the aircraft profile has accounts saved, the displayed “Operated by” selection becomes a drop-down menu. When the drop-down is expanded the names of the accounts saved on the aircraft profile show, in addition to, the company name or the certificate selected on the aircraft profile (if certificate segmentation is being utilized). This allows the user to update the “Operated by” field as needed.
Part 135 Legs
"Operated By" for a Part 135 Regulation Rule Set will default to the Company Operator set up in Company > Company Profile. (It will still be possible to make an alternate selection in the drop down.)
Part 91 Legs
"Operated By" for a flight will pre-populate with the Account on a flight when it is associated to the Aircraft and the flight has a Part 91 Regulation Rule Set. (It will still be possible to make an alternate selection in the drop down.)
Fleet Aircraft Legs
If the assigned aircraft on the leg is a Fleet, or if no aircraft is selected, then “Operated by” is not displayed.
Vendor Aircraft Legs
If the assigned aircraft on the leg is a vendor aircraft, then the vendor name displays. In this scenario, the field is read-only and not able to be updated by the user.
