Plan and manage aircraft parking positions and capacity across a location in a new interactive interface.
How it works:
In the Handlings or Movements pages, the top toolbar shows a P for Parking icon.
Clicking the P icon will open the Parking planning.
-
The chart is refreshed automatically within 3 seconds after any user makes a change in the system.
-
All times display in Local Time, even if the user’s settings are setup to be in UTC. This is done because when the chart is reviewed by and with others, its common to work in terms of local time.
-
The current time is reflected by the ‘Now’ bar.
-
The chart can be scrolled in time by means of the +/- 24, 12 and 1 hour buttons. The width of the chart can be varied between 12, 24 and 48 hours.
-
A date picker allows choosing a specific day.
-
The colors for each parking are based on the workflow state of the primary order in the handling. This is the same color as displayed in the classic Gantt Chart.
-
The Position column turns orange if there is an issue on that parking stand. In the example above, the TBD virtual position has a warning because it not empty and the K12 stand has been assigned 2 aircraft at the same time, where only a single one is allowed.
-
The footprint of the aircraft (length multiplied by wingspan) is displayed for each parking. For US-users its displayed in square feet, for others in square meters. If multiple aircraft are on the same stand or in the same hangar at the same time, the ‘Footprint’ column shows the maximum footprint occupied at a single time in the time span covered by the chart width. This allows you to estimate if the capacity of the parking position will be sufficient.
-
To show the parking planning full screen click the dashed square icon in the toolbar.
To also eliminate the main menu bar, toggle using Alt+F11.
-
To make the parking planning chart wider or narrower, use wider/narrower buttons. Typically you want a wide chart. The width setting of the parking chart does not interfere with the width setting of the regular handling detail screen.
-
To make changes to a handling, click the bar. This opens the order to the side allowing you to change its parking position.
Capacity planning:
Parking positions, such as hangars and multi-use ramp space, can be assigned a maximum footprint capacity. If this value is set, a stack chart will display for that position.
In the example below, position FOX 1 was assigned a capacity of 13000m2. The dotted red line indicates this maximum capacity. Below the red line, and above the first parking bar, a stack chart shows how much footprint area is occupied by the aircraft at the position. The stack chart turns from blue to orange as a warning that there is an aircraft for which the footprint is not set. To resolve such a warning, edit the aircraft type C25A in this example, and assign a wingspan and length.
Parking Capacity Groups:
Parking Capacity Groups can be created to allow grouping multiple positions in the Parking Planning chart.
The capacity groups ‘Capacity in M2’ overrides the positions' capacity, showing a total capacity for the grouped positions.
See Parking Capacity Groups (Administration) for creating new capacity groups.
Creating capacity groups are useful for actual positions that have multiple positions in FBO One used for pricing or status, but a single capacity to be tracked.
Setup
Navigate to FBO locations (Administration), and add the setting IsParkingPlanningEnabled as ‘TRUE’ for each FBO where you require the Parking Planning Feature.
In the Parking areas & positions (Administration) page in the ‘Parking positions’ table add for each parking position the following data:
-
Can contain multiple aircraft: If ‘No’, then an alert will show when there are multiple aircraft using the position at the same time.
-
Sort Index: This controls where the position is displayed on the chart. Lower numbers come first.
-
In planning chart: If ‘No’, the position is not displayed in the Parking Planning chart.
-
Capacity in M2: Defines the capacity for the parking position. This enables the stack chart for the position’s available capacity on the parking planning.
