Table views
SchedulAir includes table views
for constraints, costs, and flight
legs (Figure 3). The data are presented and edited in a tabular form
similar to Microsoft Excel. You can make more complex changes
affecting multiple entries, for example to re-time multiple flights by
adjusting them to all be 10 minutes earlier. Likewise it is easy to
compress or split selected flights for a period of your choice
(Figure 4). Furthermore, you can globally select or filter bulk
data. SchedulAir complies with IATA's Standard Schedules Information
Manual (SSIM), so you can display, import or export any relevant data.
Station activity views
SchedulAir offers station activity views
for aircraft, crew, or
unified aircraft and crew (Figure 5). Each station activity view
depicts the arrivals and departures for a chosen station. The aircraft
and/or crew connections can be displayed as links between the flights,
with the corresponding connection times shown. With SchedulAir's
unique combined aircraft and crew activity view you can inspect and
manipulate when crew change aircraft, thereby controlling the
potential bottlenecks (which can lead to flight delay propagation). It
is furthermore a powerful tool for solving flight-balance problems, as
well as manipulating the distribution of operations at a station and
connections to other stations. The station activity view inherits all
the tabular facilities of the table views so you can select, view,
filter, and edit all data in the same manner.
Flow views
SchedulAir provides flow views
for aircraft and
crew (Figure 6). Each flow view is a Gantt chart displaying
lines of flying with user-customizable bars depicting the flights,
turns, and connections. It can also display the potential schedule
bottlenecks (which can lead to propagation of flight delays). You can
easily choose which data to display on the Gantt bars or the status
bar. Other viewing and filtering options are also available such as
zooming, period selection, and fleet hiding. A modern and
user-friendly interface assists manual editing (e.g. swapping,
merging, canceling) of the flow views by highlighting which
possibilities are within the given constraints.
