Add an Aircraft
Aircraft can be added into the Book-a-Flight system by clicking on the aircraft icon and then clicking the plus icon .
The system attempts to include all of the most critical information regarding each aircraft.
Aircraft Details
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
The first part of the form which appears when the plus icon is clicked, needs to be completed. The fields are as follows:
- Registration
- This field contains the registration of the aircraft, for example ZS-YLR for the aircraft in our example (based on Old Yeller, the P51 Mustang made famous by Bob Hoover)
- Name
- The aircraft name might well be the same as the registration, or it could differ.
- Description
- This field could contain a fuller description of the aircraft.
- Type
- There is a separately maintained type list to ensure all aircraft are correctly sorted into the appropriate type. This field therefore offers a drop-down list.
- Normal Rate
- This would be the standard rate at which the aircraft is hired out. In the case of a club, this might be a special rate specifically for club members.
- Temp Rate
- Often used to set a more expensive rate for non-members
- Intro Flight
- This is a flat rate specifically for Intro flights, and is often set at the cost of one hour
- Next MPI Date
- The date of the next MPI
- Next MPI At
- The hours at which the MPI is due
- Seats
- The number of available seats in the aircraft
- BEM
- MAUW
- The max all up weight of the aircraft
- Fuel Capacity
- Total fuel capacity
- Fuel Consumption
- Average Fuel consumption
- Sort Order
- An alphanumeric sort uses this field to determine the sequence in which the aircraft will appear in any list. So for example this might be used to group 2-seaters together, ahead of 4 or 6 seaters.
- Display
- The setting in this field governs whether or not the aircraft will appear on the booking sheet.
