Working with crew complements

Creating a new composition

The example below illustrates how the user can set up new crew complements for a certain aircraft (as default).

Scenario

 The airline already has set up crew composition for their A320. It is: 

• 1 Captain
• 1 First Officer
• 1 Cabin Attendant.

They will start operating an ATR72 aircraft in the beginning of December and want to build the crew composition, and start preparing crew rosters. All Cabin Crew can fly the A300, however, when it comes to the A320, they must also be qualified as either a Cabin Attendant Senior or a Cabin Attendant Junior. 

Their requirements are:

1. Make their existing cabin crew either a 1 or 2 (1 = Senior, 2 = Junior).
2. N-OC must check that on the A320 there are always one of the following crew compositions:
   • 1 and a 2
   • Two number 1s
   • Prevents the crew planners from assigning two number 2s on board.
3. The cockpit must be qualified to fly A320 aircraft.

4. Create an aircraft version and connect the aircraft composition to it.

Create Crew Complement

1.  Aircraft Equipment – Create one for Airbus 320 Standard and connect it to aircraft Type Airbus A320.
