Timeline - Flights

The Flights section in the Timeline module provides a comprehensive overview of all your flights, including both confirmed bookings and available options.

              

1. Ensure you utilize the appropriate filters, as indicated in red below, and organize your selections using the "Sort by" option highlighted in blue:

              

2. Crew: when this tooltip is activated, it displayed the crew duty visualization, beginning 24 hours before the actual duty start and extending for the next 7 days. By hovering over a crew member, you can access detailed information regarding their DP, FDP and  minimum rest, based on your current settings.

A ❌ will be displayed whenever there is an overlap or conflict with the crew's duty, like minimum rest violation.

The Duty Period and Flight Duty Period, as forecasted, based on the current schedule; in case of an exceeding the MAX Allowed Period, Actual DP or FDP is highlighted in red.

Required rest after Actual FDP: The required Minimum Rest period for the crew after undertaking next Duty, based on the current schedule. 

Green: valid duty periods; Red: violations; Yellow: when the current duty period is getting close to its limit, closer than 10%. 


              

3. Show Subcharter Flights: activating this tooltip allows you to view flights that are part of the Subcharter workflow, which will be displayed in the Off-Fleet section.

              

4. Compact View: enabling this tooltip, we will display only those aircraft that have scheduled flights or events, within the chosen time range.

5. When you hover over a flight, detailed flight information will be displayed, like: Assigned crew, Flight Number, Booking, Pax or Patients number for Ambulance flights, Account, Slots, MVT and others, using times in UTC(z) or HBT, as well as the corresponding Local Time.

              

6. Additional details:

              

7. Add flight or task: by clicking on any blank area, you can initiate the creation of a new flight as part of a new booking or connect it to an existing booking, whether previous or next. Additionally, you have the option to add various tasks/events, such as Scheduled or Unscheduled Maintenance, Reserved, AOG, Crew Unavailable, Note and Flight (dummy), which is only a fictitious flight as a placeholder. Dummy flights can't be found in Sales, Dispatch, Reports, etc. They don't count to any aircraft statistics. Including Start date/time and End date/time.

               

8. Schedule Disconnect: If there is a planned departure from a different airport than the previous arrival, a warning will be displayed. By clicking on this warning, you can conveniently add a positioning leg to your schedule.

              

9. Supplementary Information:

-once you open a flight and see the Dispatch view, navigation to the left or right on the date timeline will be disabled. To resume date navigation, you must first close the Dispatch view, by pressing the ESC key or by selecting the same module from which you opened it.

-flights that have a black line on the left or right side, indicate the presence of Slots. A black line on the left signifies that there is a DEP slot, while a black line on the right indicates an ARR slot. If there are black lines on both sides, it means that the flight has both DEP and ARR slots.

              

-we display the overall status of services, like in Dispatch, highlighting the Positioning (ferry/empty) flights with a black horizontal stripe.

- Gray blocks indicate flights for which the setup has not yet been completed.

    -flashing flights indicate that the Flight is (or should be) currently airborne

    -flights that have not yet been booked but are marked as Options, will be displayed along with their corresponding due date and time. Once this due date has passed, the flight will automatically be removed from the Timeline.

                   

    -whenever you move the cursor along the timeline, you will be able to see the accurate time that you are working on on top of the timeline.

     

    -before departure, the flight should be green - all set.


    The color changes when the scheduled departure time passes, and no Departure Movement Message has been sent - the system assumes the flight is late, indicating it in this sequence:

    • yellow from ETD to ETD + 15min

    • red from ETD + 16min to ETD + 30min

    • flashing red after ETD + 31min

    This sequence is interrupted by sending the movement message, which sets the color to green.

     

    -all Maintenance events on the Timeline will appear in Black, Notes will appear in Yellow, and all other events will display in Maroon.

                  

    -when a flight gets a delay and an ETD is added, the system shows the delay with a RED line below the flight. When the Post Flight is added and there still is a delay, the system will keep the RED line according to the added final times.

                  
     
    - Match Available Crew to Aircraft
    The new visual indicator on the timeline in the Roster Module allows you to easily view crew availability against specific aircraft. When enabled, the indicators, complete with crew roles and 3 letter name codes, will provide you with the following overview:
    First go to Roster and add an ON duty for your crew, selecting a position and the desired aircraft.
    In Timeline/Flights now the Crew bar will show up and the Crews who have assigned a ON duty on that a/c will show up with their position.
    Yellow: The number of crew assigned as 'On duty' is less than the number of crew required for the planned aircraft, based on the aircraft's configuration
    Green: All positions are fulfilled
    Additionally, hovering over the indicator will display full names and roles, and you can even customize your colors for a more personalized experience in line with your brand.
