FlightSpan™ Ops Release Notes 4.4.1

FlightSpan™ Ops 4.4.1 includes two new features, and a number of enhancements and bug fixes.

Note: Some subscribers are on updated infrastructure and will see FlightSpan™ Ops v4.6.0, which has the same features as v4.4.1.

New Features

  • You can now manage and view fuel inventory from both the EFB and FlightSpan™ Ops. Track quantities only with Simple Management, or track how much fuel is in each container with Advanced Management. See the FlightSpan™ Ops documentation for setup and office use, as well as the EFB documentation for use in the cockpit.
  • Added an advanced package management feature that allows you to handle cargo at the package level (as opposed to a bulk shipment of items), and individually describe the package and its contents for international shipping/customs purposes. See the documentation for details.

Enhancements

  • Changed the first leg departure and destination fields on the user Flight Request Form to a multi-leg route field for quick creation of multiple legs
  • Included ground time on the final leg when creating a synced Google or Microsoft calendar event
  • Added a setting to completely disable Google / Microsoft calendar notifications 
  • Added an option to allow prepaid accounts to incur a negative balance
  • When a notification email is enabled in the setting to alert recipients of waypoint changes, they will now receive alerts about airport changes as well
  • Added the ability to export the Staff Currency Status List in the list menu
  • Limited accounts dropdowns to those available to the user via staff roles (Please note that if this setting conflicts with your SOP, you can check the new Company Setting “Never Restrict Account Usage By Staff Roles”.)
  • FlightSpan™ now creates cash payments (rather than a charge payment) when creating the payment from requests or scheduled loads when the associated account is an Income type account 
  • FlightSpan™ now applies a Rate’s Split Load Itemize Rounding Allowance when itemizing a load on a manual (pilot generated) receipt that has already been deposited
  • Added a company setting to allow documents uploaded from the EFB to be unencrypted by default (“Encrypt Documents Uploaded From Efb By Default”)
  • Added the ability on rate Price Line Items and Data Substitutions to conditionally apply the item based on domestic / international flight type
  • Added a danger icon next to non-manifest loads on the manifest and schedule view details pages when those loads are non-receipted cash payments, or loads without an associated payment or chargeable account
  • Added a nationality field to the aircraft properties and referenced this nationality in the General Declarations report
  • Added minimum password length requirements and brute force protection
  • Optimized the General Declarations report to include country name, company logo and other enhancements
  • Exceedance notifications are now automatically removed when the exceedance is automatically corrected when the associated duty time or flight time is adjusted by the user
  • Changed the transaction date format to YYYY-MM-DD for Workato 1 Billing Export
  • The user’s week/day format selection on the scheduling calendar is now stored by FlightSpan™  and remembered so the user doesn’t have to re-check their preference
  • The database now stores timestamp fields for Nav Waypt Inspections, Tags Data, and Nav Waypt Notams tables
  • Calendar events on the scheduling calendar are now always above maintenance events if they overlap
  • Optimized the transactions between FlightSpan™ Ops and the EFB regarding waypoints in order to avoid EFB sync issues
