Connections (tab)

A Twin Airport is used where a base has two close airports, and where crew can check in and check out at both airports. This is used by airlines where crew transportation between the twin airports is provided by public transport or by a company taxi service. The connection doesn't require ground transportation and it will not create a legality warning.

A KIN Airport is used where a base has two airports that are close, but where crew need to check out from the originating airport. Crew will require a ground transport to go back to the originating airport. The system will generate a legality warning that a transport is missing, the warning is not as hard as a station conflict.

Not Implemented.

A station Distance is used when you create a new flight. When you enter the STD for a new flight, the STA will be calculated according to the distance time. Note: It can also be created for Ground Transport between twin airports.

Example: i.e. ARN and BMA BLH: 0100 HRS.

Not Implemented.

En Route (tab)

ETOPS ( Extended Twin Engine Operation) flight plan Entry / Exit times and 'SELCAL checked' are fields that can be manually populated. Note: These are only stored for reporting purposes.
