Introduction:
The FBO One Plan Board is a feature of the OPS screen that provides a visual representation of flights scheduled for the next 12 hours. It is located on the right side of the screen for easy access and serves as a quick overview of flight activities. If not visible, it can be enabled clicking on the Plan Board Icon in the header bar.
One of the key elements of the FBO One Plan Board is the use of colors to indicate the status of each flight. These colors can be configured based on the workflow state, allowing users to customize the representation according to their preferences or specific needs.
At the top of the FBO One Plan Board, there is a black bar graph that provides an indication of the number of movements for every 15-minute period. This graph helps users quickly assess the density of flight activities during different time intervals, allowing them to anticipate busy periods or identify quieter times.
Overall, the FBO One Plan Board is designed to enhance situational awareness and facilitate efficient flight management by presenting flight information in a visual and easily understandable format.
When hovering over a flight with the mouse, the flight is highlighted in the order grid. After a simple click on a flight, a menu appears to navigate directly to the order or its services.
- The letter P before or after a flight indicates an airport slot has been arranged.
- The letter T before a flight means this the flight is in transit, usually based on data from the CFMU link.
Home operator orders and home based aircraft
Because home operator orders appearing on the plan board chart depict the air time and not the on-ground time, as it is the case for the regular handling orders, home operator orders and home-based aircraft have some particular features.
As shown in the images below, order AMS-146 is a home operator order using a home-based aircraft VPBSN.
- The gray area surrounding the AMS-146 order is the time frame in which the aircraft itself is on ground.
- The information shown between round brackets in case of VPBSN and 1205 home-based aircraft is the remark entered while defining the time frame and fbo location for which the current aircraft is home based.
It is also possible in the case of home-based aircraft to display 2 or more home operator orders on the same chart bar as shown below.
There are of course exceptions from this rule of displaying home operator orders and these exceptions apply to home operator orders that have a pending arrival or departure. Therefore these kinds of orders are displayed on a separate bar chart, just like regular handling orders (see image below)
In this case, the VPBSN aircraft registration is marked as being home-based but the order itself (yellow bar) is displayed in a separate chart bar because it has a pending arrival.
Once the pending value is entered the order is displayed within one chart bar:
