Schedule Board: Create Reposition

Create Reposition from Schedule Board

This article explains a simple way to create repositioning flights on the Aircraft or Vendor schedule views. The repositioning leg can be created between two flight legs, or a flight leg and a Maintenance Offline Event from the Schedule Board when there is an Airport mismatch on either the arrival or departure leg. An indication of this is the 'Hot Corner' on the flight cards.

This article covered:

  • how to access the feature

  • availability checks

  • how crew assignments function

  • options for adding the reposition


HOW IT WORKS

A required reposition can be created directly from the Schedule Board by right-clicking on the flight leg event or maintenance offline event where the airport mismatch "Hot Corners" are present. 

Hot Corners:


Flight Card Information hover pop over describing the Hot Corner: 

 

Create the Reposition

When the user right-clicks on the flight leg or mx event, the context menu displays the available options. Select “Create Reposition”. When Create Reposition is clicked the Create Reposition modal is launched.


When launching the create reposition modal, the default time queues off of the current time view settings of the user, My TZ or Zulu. When the repositioning leg is created into a trip, it uses the same time preference selection as specified in the create modal.


Availability Check and Error Notifications

  1. If there is a flight or maintenance event that is filtered from view and appears as a blank space on the Schedule Board, when the user right-clicks on the date/time where that event would be they will still see the Create Reposition in the context menu. If a reposition is not required, an error will pop up saying: 
 

  1. When in Fixed View, the above popup error will display when the "Create Reposition" is chosen from the trip with the Next Airport Mismatch.  


Create Reposition Field Descriptions:

When the Create Reposition modal is launched several fields have data that auto-populate based on where the modal is launched from and the data available in the previous/next events.
  • Aircraft: Populates with aircraft from which the modal was launched on the Schedule Board

  • Trip Type: The set default will be auto-selected. If not default is set, then it displays blank

  • Account (Optional): But if used, it can provide additionally prefilled data based on that account.

  • FROM Airport: Uses the airport in the previous flight leg event or the job card offline event

  • FROM FBO: Uses the FBO selected in the previous flight leg event OR the Maintenance facility

    • If the flight leg does not have an FBO selected then the FBO displays blank.

    • The user can still update the FBO from the drop-down.

  • TO Airport: Uses the airport in the next flight leg event or the job card's offline event.

  • TO FBO: Uses the FBO selected in the previous flight leg event or MX facility from the previous MX offline event

    • If the flight leg does not have an FBO selected then the FBO displays blank.

    • The user can still update the FBO from the drop-down.

  • DEPART/ARRIVE AT:

    • Defaults to ARRIVE AT

    • Can be updated by the user to DEPART AT

​Changing the Depart/Arrive will automatically change the Date and time.  This is outlined below under Time.

  • DATE: Populates with the date from which the modal was launched on the Schedule Board

  • TIME: Populates based on the DEPART/ARRIVE AT selection.

    • If DEPART AT is selected it will auto-populate the time based on the previous flight's arrival time. Default turn times on Aircraft Profile or Operations Configurations settings will be used if enabled; otherwise, a 30-minute turn time will be the default.

    • If ARRIVE AT is selected it will auto-populate the time based on the previous flight's arrival time. Default turn times on Aircraft Profile or Operations Configurations settings will be used if enabled; otherwise, a 30-minute turn time will be the default.

  • Flight Calculation Summary: Calculates based on the performance data on the aircraft profile.

  • Check if Empty Leg: Defaults to checked

Crew Assignments

  • No Crew - The Crew Assignment field will default to 'No Crew'. This option will always be available to select. When selected in the Crew Assignment field the Crew field is greyed/disabled.

  • Crew from Previous Flight - This option only displays if the event directly before the date/time where the modal was launched from is a Flight; it does not display if the previous event is a maintenance offline event. When selected the Crew field populates with the crew from the previous flight, including the position they flew in on the previous flight.

  • Crew from Next Flight - This option only displays if the event directly after the date/time where the modal was launched is a Flight; it does not display if the next event is a maintenance offline event or if there is no next scheduled event. When the 'Crew from Next Flight' value is selected from the Crew Assignment drop down the Crew field populates with the crew from the next flight, including the position they flew in on the previous flight. 

Create As

The selection allows the User to create the reposition leg as a New Trip, add to the Previous Trip or the Next Trip.  

  1. New Trip: Creates a completely New Trip with new Trip number
  2. Previous Trip: Adds the reposition leg after the flight listed as Previous Flight.  The Trip number for the previous trip will display in the "Trip" window: 

  1. Next Trip: Adds the reposition leg prior to the first leg of the Next Flight.   The Trip number for the Next trip will display in the "Trip" window:
