Modified on: Wed, 22 Sep, 2021 at 10:20 AM

In the section we will describe the step by step procedure for creating a new aircraft from scratch.

To do this, we need to define the following items in N-OC:

Example:

Item	Description	Short code	Dependant prerequisite
Main Type	Aircraft	AC
Aircraft Category	Turbo Prop	TP	Main Type
Aircraft Type	British Aerospace Jetstream 32		Main Type, Aircraft Category
Aircraft Version	J32-1	J32-1	Aircraft Type,Aircraft Configuration
Aircraft Equipment	Standard J32	J32	Aircraft Type
Aircraft Configuration	Y19	Y19	Load Class
Weight Groups	Light (L), Medium (M), Heavy (H)	L,M,H	None
Aircraft Registration	ABCDE		Owner (Company), Prefix, Aircraft Type, Aircraft Version, Weight Groups

Window Name	Location	Item
Main Types	Editors > Aircraft > Main Types	Click on 'New' to create a new main type. Enter the name: "Aircraft" Enter Shortcode "AC" Tick 'Active' and 'Default' Save
Aircraft Category	Editors > Aircraft > Categories	Define the Aircraft Category: Example: Enter the name: "Turbo Prop" Enter Shortcode "TP" Select Vehicle MainType "Aircraft" Tick 'Active' and optionally 'Default' Save
Aircraft Type	Editors > Aircraft > Aircraft Type	Most aircraft types should already be predefined in N-OC. If you need to add a new one, enter the details as shown in the example here. Note: Mandatory fields are shown as *
Aircraft Equipment	Editors > Aircraft > Aircraft Equipment	Define the Aircraft Equipment: Example: Enter the name: "Standard J32" Enter Shortcode: "J32" Select Aircraft Type " British Aerospace Jetstream 32" Tick 'Active' and optionally 'Default' Save

Aircraft Configuration	Editors > Aircraft > Configuration	Define the Aircraft Configuration: Example: Enter the name: "Y19" Enter Shortcode: "Y19" Enter Jump Seats (Optional) Tick 'Active' and optionally 'Default' Click on "Add" to select one or more Load Class. Note: If the load classes are not defined, you will need to create it first. See: Editors > Schedule > Load for more information. Enter the Seating capacity for each Load Class. Save
Weight Groups	Editors > Aircraft > Weight Groups	Define the Weight Groups: Example: Enter the name: "Light" Enter Shortcode: "L" Enter Minimum weight Enter Maximum weight Save
