The Booking Sheet is generally the first interface into the Book a Flight system. It can be viewed whether you are logged in or not, and provides a general overview of facilities, bookings and availability for the selected period.

Booking Sheet Layout

The bulk of the Booking Sheet is made up of a table. Down the page are listed the aircraft, staff and facilities (such as meeting rooms) that are available for hire. Across the page, the booking sheet is divided into timeslots.

Basic Navigation

At the top of the table are some useful headers. In the top row on the left are a "rewind" arrow, a calendar and a "fast forward" arrow. The arrows allow you at any time to skip forward or backward one day, while the calendar instantly brings you back to the current date.

In the next field, the current date appears in bold red. By clicking on the down arrow, you can access a dropdown list that allows you to choose a date up to a month in the future.

In the final field in this top line, are listed various durations. The default view shows timeslots from 6am to 9pm. These links allow you to change the view to show, for example, midnight to noon only.

Information and Extras

At either end of the second line of the table the current time for sunrise and sunset are provided. In the middle is a simple page title, with a "Thought for the Day" below it. Some of these are amusing. Some contain uncommon wisdom.

For ease of navigation, there is a gap between each section of the table. This generally contains some useful information for users of the system. For example, at Cape Town Flying Club, the latest METAR and TAF for FACT appear in these gaps.

Logging in to the System

Above the table, is some header information listing the organization running the booking system, and showing some icons. At the left, you will see a house icon denoting a shortcut to the home page and a {what the heck is it} icon allowing the user to log in. If you are a club member, you will be provided with a username and password to log into the system.

Logging in allows users to make and change bookings, to update their data on the My Details page, to read the Club NOTAM list and so forth. Non-members are limited to the booking sheet itself and can only review the information.
