Common Features

Depending on your profile and resulting access rights, the Flights functionality allows:

Displaying various list of flights for the selected day.
Displaying detailed flight data for a selected flight.
Issuing CASA and rerouting (AOWIR) commands for a selected flight

Some of these features may therefore not be available or even visible to you.

This section covers the features present across the various components of the Flights Portlet - and for some, common to all Portlets.

1 - Header

Please refer to this section for more information on the Detached Views common functions.

2 - Navigation

The Flights Portlet provides various means of querying Flight data, presented across a series of distinct tabs:

All these tabs provide tactical flight plan information (for flight departing within the next 20 hours) - with the exception of the Filing tab, giving access to flight plans up to 5 days ahead.

3 - Query Area

This is where you specify the query filters and criteria. Once all required fields have been filled in, you can launch the Query either by clicking on the button or pressing the Enter key on your keyboard.

Using wildcards in queries

Queries made in the Flights application support the usage of the * wildcard (please refer to the Using Wildcards section for more information on this feature) in a text field - providing that some other query field is fully specified.

4 - Time Stamp

All result lists are marked with the date and time at which the corresponding query was made, as well as the number of matching entries (which can be 0 in some cases).

The letters (prop) may also be appended to the flights count, in cases where the Proposal flights have been set to be included in the query.

Note: In cases where the number of items matching the query gets very large, the resulting list is segmented into several pages - see the Paging section for more information.

5 - Button Bar

A series of Action Buttons are available to you, their kind, number and availability depending on both your user profile and the status of the selected flight(s).

Here is the full collection:

The Plot Selected Fights button opens the Network Interactive Map and plots all flights whose checkbox has been ticked on - in the case of our example, the BAW391 flight:

The Collapse All button closes all flight details boxes (see below in the Showing Route(s) paragraph) presented in the Flight List.

The E-Helpdesk button (only available if your profile permits to send these messages, typically of you are AO) opens the E-Helpdesk AO Submit for the selected flight.

The Compute Impacted Flights button triggers the EVITA impact computation, given the objects currently set by means of the EVITA selector. The impacted flights are indicated with a check mark in the Impacted column:

The Plot Evita button opens the NM Interactive Map and plots all flights whose checkbox has been ticked, together with the selected EVITA objects.:

Please refer to the EVITA Interactive Map section for more information on how to use this feature.

The Selector button opens the Evita Selector Detached View:

This function is meant to work in combination with the Plot Evita function, as it gives direct access to the Filter parameters of the Evita application.

Please refer to the EVITA Selector section for more information on how to use this feature.

Specific Commands

In addition to the above commonly shared buttons, the Button Bar may sometimes present commands linked to specific functions: FMP, AO and Tower are among those...

6 - Results Table

The matching Flights are listed in a table, and the data displayed across an varying array of columns, depending on the selected Tab, and on your user profile.

Sorting Order

Most of these column are sortable: simply click on a column header to have the rows sorted by ascending or descending order. An orange triangle will appear in the column header, giving visual indication of the currently applied sorting order. Click again on the column header to change the ordering method (descending to ascending, and conversely).

Example (see the ARCID column):

Show / Hide Details

Clicking on the Show Details button will expand the flight Details area:

Simply click again on the Hide Details button to collapse the flight route line - or on the Collapse All button to hide all opened flight details.

The Details area may contain the following information, depending on your user profile:

IOBD
Last EOBT
Type
Last Message
State
Flight Type
Ready State
Filed ADES
Most Penalising Regulation
Proposed CTOT
Suspension status
FLS Response by
Rerouting
AOWIR Indicator
CDM discrepancy details
Provisional Info
Route
Tolerance Window

Note: In practice, many of the above elements are mutually exclusive.

Attention: this Details section is different from the much more elaborate Flight Details Detached View.
