Aerodrome

The Aerodrome tab displays the Aerodrome List associated with an Aerodrome set or matching an aerodrome wildcard identifier (*), and the corresponding Aerodrome Details for a selected aerodrome.

Aerodrome List

The Aerodrome List tab lists the aerodromes that are grouped in the selected aerodrome set for the selected Target Date.

On access of the Aerodrome List page from the Aerodrome Sets List tab, the results of the default query are automatically displayed (i.e. the Go button does not have to be clicked by the user to submit the default query).

Query

  • Query By: The query can be launched for an Aerodrome or an Aerodrome Set.
    • Aerodrome (*): Identification of the Aerodrome (note the possible usage of wildcards).
    • Aerodrome Set: Identification of the aerodrome set. If the Aerodrome List page is accessed from the Portlet, by default, this field is empty.
      If the Aerodrome List tab is accessed from the Aerodrome Sets List tab, by default, this field is set to the aerodrome set name for which this tab was invoked. 

Results

  • ID: ICAO code of the aerodrome. The ID field provides a link to access the Aerodrome Details tab for the selected Aerodrome.
  • Aerodrome Name: Name of the aerodrome.
  • Impacted: Indicates if the aerodrome is impacted by the selected EVITA objects (i.e. results of the Compute Impacted Aerodromes function).

By default, the aerodrome list is sorted by ID, in ascending alphanumeric order. Simply click on the name of a column to modify the sorting order.

The Compute Impacted Aerodromes, Plot Evita and Selector buttons functions in the same way as for the Airspaces tab.

Aerodrome Details

The Aerodrome Details page lists the detailed data for the selected aerodrome for the selected Target Date.

On access of the Aerodrome Details tab from the Aerodrome List tab, the results of the default query are automatically displayed (i.e. the Go button does not have to be clicked by the user to submit the default query).

The time stamp shows when the information was retrieved from the back-end system as well as the number or entries retrieved.

Query

  • Aerodrome: ICAO identification of the aerodrome.
    If the Aerodrome Details page is accessed from the Aerodrome List tab, by default, this field is set to the aerodrome name for which this tab was invoked.

Located above the results table, the IATA field displays the IATA code for the selected aerodrome.

  • WEF: Start date and time (dd-hh:mm format) for the period.
  • UNT: End date and time (dd-hh:mm format) for the period
  • DEP: Departure runway.
  • Taxi: Taxi time for the departure runway.
  • TIS: Time to insert in sequence.

  • If a period has expired (i.e. the UNT of the period is before the current UTC time), all the fields of the period are shown as read-only.
  • If a period has started but not yet expired, (i.e. current UTC time is between the WEF and UNT), except for the UNT field, all the other fields of the period are shown as read-only.
  • If a period has not yet started (i.e. the WEF is after the current UTC time), the following are displayed as read-only: TIS, TRS, Arrival Taxi Time.
  • If either or both the Dep and the Departure Taxi Time fields are set to a value other than that defined in the Environment database at the start time of the period, they are displayed in Tactical Update Colour.
