Terminal setup

To get to the setup for the terminal, select the menu item TOOLS/Station/Setup station and select the terminal from the list.

Terminal setup set the properties for one terminal. See the station setup on how to access, add and delete terminals.

By default the terminal will be set to handle all flights. To see what the properties do, click on the item on the picture.

The Station AAA shows this is station AAA and will differ for the station you are using. Clicking on that item will return you to the station setup.

 

The label at the top allows the addition of handlers and handler groups. More on those in the relevant sections but for now Add handler or group will add that item to the system. Delete will show a list of handlers already in the system and allow deletion.

Internal ID is set by the system and cannot be changed.

Terminal code is the code that appears in the SSIM manual. It can be changed by clicking on the item and typing in a new code.

Handlers gives a list of available handlers if set up and clicking on the handler will move to the setup for that handler.

Top

Handler groups allows groups of one or more handlers to be set up. Groups are used by apron setup to allow more than one handler to use certain stands. More on that in the handler group section and apron setup section.

Off and on stand times in minutes are used for two things. One is the based airlines where rotations are not received, and the other to move flights to hard parking when stands are required during busy times. The off stand times are used to remove aircraft from stands after arrival and on stand is the time to bring the aircraft back prior to departure. The four setting here are off and on and for international and domestic flights.
Note if the on and off stand times are both zero then a flight will not be parked. This will not stop a two part where the terminals change for arrival to departure.

The next four items starting with International set the usage of the terminal. This will change the menu items that appear for default terminals in station setup and set the usage for apron assignment.

Top

The next three items change the count behaviour for this terminal. The international passenger count multiplier with times the count by the set amount in counts. To change it, click on the item and enter a new number. The load factor allows factoring to be used in the counts. Its across the board except charter is a separate item.

Exclude domestic airlines/locations excludes these items from counts. An airline can be set as domestic in the airline setup and a location can be set in the location setup.
