Important Note: Training exercises should be carried out in your test system. Do not create test data in a Live System.

The test system can be identified by one or more of the following:

• A different coloured header bar; normally bright pink or red.
• The address includes the word "test"
• There is a reference to UserTest emails in the header

The Test System is accessed on the address https://xxx.test.fbo.one/ , with 'xxx' replaced with your client identifier, or by selecting the test system link in the menu of your Live System.

In this exercise, you'll create a new aircraft registration in FBO One. We can use the default debtor and operator created in the creating a new contact exercise.

Goal of this exercise:

1. To be able to create a new aircraft registration.
2. To understand how most information is derived from the aircraft type and can be overridden.

Prerequisites:

• Complete the Front Office Exercise - Creating New Contacts

Exercise overview:

• Create a registration 'XY-XXX' for an A380 operated by Amsterdam Software Aircraft.
• Assign the registration to an order. 
• Change the MTOW of this registration

Step by step:

Let’s assume the company that we created in the Creating New Contacts exercise owns an aircraft.

Navigate to Add Aircraft Registration in the main menu.

• In the next screen, you can enter the registration (use XY-XXX).
• For the type pick A380.
• Select the just created company as the default debtor and operator.
• The default trip support provider can be left blank.

• Probably one of the most important fields is the MTOW.
• You can leave it blank: FBO One will use the default weight of the type for this registration.
• Its possible that the aircraft has a modification that affects the MTOW, so if you have different information for this specific registration, you can enter a weight that will override that of the type.
• The weight will be used in automatic price calculation for handling and usually things like parking fees.
• Save the registration with a blank MTOW first.
• After saving, the details page for the new registration is displayed.

• The bottom section (details tab) of the aircraft registration screen shows there is no registration-specific MTOW, so FBO One will use the MTOW of the type.
• Now 'edit registration' again, and enter a specific MTOW.
• FBO One will automatically assign a handling category to this aircraft.
  • Handling categories are MTOW groups used for pricing, specifically for airport and handling fees.
• Now increase or decrease the registration specific MTOW so that your registration moves into another category.

In FBO One, there is a way to put an aircraft in a different handling category.

• To do this, go to the ‘Specific handling categories’ tab, and set a specific handling category.
• A new handling category can be created by clicking the 'Add new' button.
  • Normally this change would be made in conjunction with a change in handling group pricing structure.
• This action overrides the handling category based on weight and therefore the prices of services that are based on the handling category.
• Services charged by weight will still use the weight of the aircraft. 

Extra Practise:

1. Try to edit and rename the registration XY-XXX.
   • Note the warning and the implications of incorrectly renaming a valid registration.
   • Rename the registration to something memorable for the Front Office Exercise - Creating orders
2. Create 2 more registrations to be used in the Front Office Exercise - Creating orders. 
   • Use different Aircraft Types
   • Both Operated by a Debtor you created in the Front Office Exercise - Creating New Contacts
3. Just like in the new contact exercise, add a bulletin board message for one of the registrations 
   • "Please arrange security access for the VIP Driver. Contact on 555-1345625".
   • Mark it as important, so it is clear when the registration is added to an Order.
