Define Operator Information per Owner Organization

Explanation

This activity is used to define operator designators for owner organizations. Only one operator designator can be defined for a single owner organization. Designators are codes used to identify an airline for commercial purposes such as reservations, timetables, tickets, tariffs, air waybills, and in airline interline telecommunications. Examples of operator designators are BA for British Airways and SK for Scandinavian Airlines. The predefined operator information will be used when automatically generating operational plan IDs for the flight log. The operational plan ID is used to define which operational event the vehicle has completed.

Furthermore, when defining operator designators in basic data you can also indicate how many days the void and closed flight logs for an owner organization should remain in the flight log. Once the number of days is reached, the flight logs will be moved to history through a background job. This functionality is useful as both void and closed flight logs can be important information to view together with open logs for a vehicle for a given period of time. After awhile this information is not as relevant and therefore becomes historical.

Prerequisites

N/A

System Effects

• An operator designator is defined for the owner organization and will be used when auto-generating operational plan IDs for the flight log.
• Void and closed flight logs for the organization will be moved to history after the number of days defined in the Hist. Flight Logs After No of Days field is reached. This is done through a background job.

Procedure

1. Open the Flight Log Basic Data window and then click the Operator Information tab.
2. Create a new record (F5).
3. In the Owner Organization field, enter the relevant owner organization. Use the List of Values to select a valid value.
4. In the Operator Designator field, enter the operator designator for the selected owner organization.
5. Optionally in the Hist. Flight Logs After No of Days field, enter the number of days that void and closed flight logs for the owner organization should remain in the flight log. If this field is left blank, the value zero is defaulted and the void or closed flight log will be moved to history as soon as the background job is completed.
6. Save the information (F12).

Note: You can also define operator information by selecting the owner organization in the Owner window and then using the Operator Information tab to enter the relevant information.
