Sep 4, 2020 9:29:52 AM

Dispatch Mode: Another enhancement to Rocketroute FlightBoard. A desktop mode that combines the benefits of both the 'Flights List' and the 'Flights Map' views onto a single screen. Dispatchers, flight followers, FBO's can now access all the functionality of the FlightBoard within one screen, freeing up valuable monitor space.

'Flights List' Mode

'Flights List' Mode ensures the following information is depicted on screen:

Operators logo
Flight number
Aircraft tail number
Aircraft type
Flight type
Airport of departure
Airport of destination
Estimated Off Block Time (EOBT)
Delay (in minutes)
Calculated/Actual Take-Off Time (C/ATOT)

Example of 'Flights List' Mode.

A filter can be used to customize the 'Flights List' screen. For example, the filter can help to single out flights using the following criteria:

Airport Pair
Current flights only (or a set date range)
Departure or Arrival or Both
Airport(s)
Operator ID(s)
Flight Type(s)
Status(es)
Flight Number(s)
Aircraft ICAO Type(s)
Aircraft ID(s)

Example of the filter panel on the right. 'Airport' filter is applied.

'Flights Map' Mode

All flights present on the Flights List screen are also present on the Flights Map screen. The aircraft icon colour displays the status of the flight.

Blue - Airborne
Green - Filed
Light green - Active
Green with yellow or red glow - Filed Regulated (i.e. SLOT issued)
Red - Cancelled
Black - Landed / Closed

When an aircraft icon is clicked where appropriate the filed route and the actual flown route is shown.

Example of 'Flights Map' Mode.

Dispatch Mode: 'Dispatch Flights' View

On the 'Dispatch Flights' screen the two above mentioned screens are combined - the Flights List and Flights Map. This ensures a simultaneous view of the followed flights. The two screens are always synchronized.

Example of 'Dispatch Flights' Mode.

Dispatch Mode: 'Dispatch Fleet' Mode

This screen depicts all flights of a particular aircraft or a fleet of aircraft, regardless of their statuses - whether cancelled, airborne, active, filed, or landed.
