Charter Flight Support Integration

  2. '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 always be possible to make an alternate selection in the drop down.) 
  3. Travel Document type of "National ID" (previously "International ID") is now possible to select as the Travel Doc for a flight on the Trip page and will appear accordingly on any reports. Note: It will not be selectable to submit for the eAPIS modal.

Scheduling Features

  1. New Schedule Board template values for Flight Legs of: 'PIC' and 'SIC'. When added, it will display the name of the crew in that position for the flight. When no crew is yet assigned, it will display 'N/A'. (This is an alternate way to see crew only for those positions rather that use the existing template option of 'Crew Position/Names', which lists all crew.)
  2. Schedule Board view when Show Event Length By = Fixed and Sort Events By = Type, the Transient information will always show at the bottom/end of the day.  
  3. Ability to disable the legacy calendar ("Scheduling") for an entire Avianis account, all users.
