This picture shows a typical prefix setup. To get more on an item,
see the information on that item below.
The Airline setup label at the top allows a few options.
Add split and delete split
Actions split where a new split will be actioned and the matching
flights moved to another terminal.
Add xref and delete xref
These do not really do anything and were put in for cross reference
to the prefix shown on the FAA actual time reports and our prefix
where the shown flight number is run by another carrier. This job is
not handled by the comply and 8020 kick table.
Clear addresses clears email addresses for the prefix.
A right click menu is also available to navigate the records of the
airline table with First, Previous, Next and Last available. |
The prefix is added when new prefix is selected from the Airline -
Prefix menu item. That menu also has the delete to delete a prefix.
See adding an Airline prefix. The prefix
can not be changed.
ICAO code can be set by clicking on
the item and typing in a new code. This is used by FAA imports where
ICAO codes are used in place of IATA. Also the FAA report uses them
on the report.

Name is a descriptive name or the
Airline trading name. Its not really used and is only for record
keeping. To change it, click on the item and type a new name.

Sita address and Email address
are addresses for the airline. Depending on how the messages are to
be sent, fill these in. The system looks first for a Sita address and
uses that if the Sita directories are set. Otherwise it uses the
Email address. This address is also important for incoming Email as
it must match the from and reply to address of an Email before
accepting it into the messages inbox. Add to that, the format having
to be right adds a small amount of security to inbound messages.

The comply send type has a
menu choice of None, Excel spreadsheet and XML. This is set up here
for use in the compliance off slot explain request where the setup is
set to send out the requests. See the section on compliance for more
details. The Email address can be set where it differs from the Email
address for normal SCR Email set above. 8020 reports can also have
the same choices and a separate Email address. See the 8020 section
for that.
Delete from FAA is set when this airline is not part of the
Compliance or 8020. For example general aviation.

Domestic and based switches are
used mainly by the counts. The main season database holds this
information which is set when a message is dealt with or during
certain validations. Domestic means the airline is domestic to the
country. Based means it has a maintenance base on the airport. This
will change the way the flight is dealt with as it will rotate the
flight depending on the off and on stand times in setup. This allows
apron to be assigned to a based airline because the aircraft can be
towed to the base.
Top
The next eight items set the
terminal and handler for each flight type. the available selections
will depend on terminals and handlers setup in the system. These will
be set when a new airline appears if the default is set in the
station table. Note that the splits mentioned below take precedence.
Top
Preclear is not used and is for
future expansion where precleared customs facilities exist.
Top
SIR exclude excludes the
prefix from multi prefix SIR's. This can be overruled in the Output
to airlines user defined set.
