The Origin/Departure and planned Destination airports are spe-
cified using their International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
airport codes. If you are unsure of a code for an airport, press
the drop-down arrow on either field to display the Airport Loo-
kup window. Specify the scheduled time of departure (STD),
scheduled time of arrival (STA) and/or estimated en route time
(EET). PFPX will provide estimates for each field if you specify
values for the other two. Specify the date of first flight within
the schedule from the drop-down calendar.
Enter the Type of Operation in the two fields provided. Into the
first field enter the schedule as Scheduled Air Service (S), Non-
scheduled Air Transport Operation (N), General Aviation (G), Mi-
litary (M) or Other (X). Into the second field enter the schedule
as Domestic Flight (Dom), International Flight (Int), Long Range
Flight (L/R) or Other (Other).
Add any remarks that you wish to have displayed for each sche-
duled flight into the Remarks field.
Scheduled flights are specified as leaving on certain days of each
week. If you wish to schedule repetitive flights, check the box
labelled ‘Repetitive (RPL)’, enter the Begin date, either the End
date or check the ‘Unlimited‘ box, and specify the days of each
week on which the schedule is to be flown. This can be achieved
by either checking or un-checking the weekdays for the flights.
Furthermore you can choose the desired aircraft (if there is alrea-
dy an aircraft assigned to this flight) and determine the available
seats or passenger and cargo amount, if known.
For the ‘Random’ function the maximum number of passengers
and cargo must be entered in the respective fields. Random load
data is then generated for the flight or a series of repetitive flights.
If there is any important information you might have for the
flight crew you can note them into Remarks so they´re displayed
onto the flight plan.
Press the Save button to record, or the Close button to avoid
recording the schedule.
