New Features

  •  None

Enhancements

  • You can now create a Custom Staff/User Role based on a Standard Role by creating a parent/child relationship between the Standard Role and the Custom Role, simplifying the process of creating and maintaining Custom Roles. See the documentation for details. 
  • Non-Manifest Loads on a Scheduled Flight are now sorted by Order of Leg
  • Latest Revision Date is now available as a runway chart element
  • On the Waypoint Detail, the editable magnetic variation field has been replaced with an uneditable, automatically calculated magnetic variation

  • FlightSpan now tracks passenger age based on the date of birth and the date of the flight
  • A Location field has been added to the Flight Record. The Flight Record Location is automatically set based on the aircraft assigned to that location, but the location can also be changed manually.
  • The baggage tags label is now editable, and baggage tags can be printed in landscape as described here 
  • The signature block height on the Gen Dec form has been increased
  • ETD and ETA have been added to internal scheduling views and reports, and the schedule displayed on the EFB is now governed by internal rules rather than public rules
