Afin de permettre le calcul des statistiques ne pas permettre aux pilotes de cocher plusieurs cases lors de la saisie des vols. Leur interprétation est fantaisiste et le calcul des statistiques ne sera pas possible en fin d'année. Il faut créer autant de type de vol que nécessaire et mettre le maximum d'incompatibilité. Seul le type de vol requis dans le cas d'un second pilote à bord permet peut être compatible avec les autres types
+
To allow calculation of statistics, do not allow pilots to check multiple boxes when inputting flights; calculation of statistics will not be possible at the end of the year. We must create as many types of flight as necessary and put the maximum incompatibility. Only the type of flight in the case of a second pilot on board can be compatible with other types

Revenir dans Admin/Utilisateurs/Groupes. Cliquer sur l'icône Modifier de Standard et mettre dans type de compte requis : Principal
+
 
 +
=== Budget ===
 +
If you decide to deal with budget, it's better to define budget names before creating accounts.
 +
 
 +
=== Supplier Bill Management ===
 +
Once budgets are defined, it is possible to create the accounts useful for the supplier management module.
 +
 
 +
Then, you have to define the suppliers and for each of them to allocate a supplier account.
 +
 
 +
=== Members ===
 +
* Create the account type in the Accounts / Members / Account Type. Every pilot can have several account types (for example, in the case of enterprise committees); To start to create a single account type: Main.
 +
<center>[[Image:Account_Type_Users_en.jpg|Users accounts types]]</center>
 +
* The user list will be posted in Accounts / Members. A click on the red icons will activate the the user account.
 +

=== Avions ===
+
=== Aircrafts ===
* Dans Comptes/Avions/Type de compte créer les types de compte. Ceci crée automatiquement pour chaque avion un compte permettant la répartition des imputations.
+
* Create the account types in Accounts / Aircrafts / Account Type. This automatically creates an account allowing the distribution of the account entries for each aircraft.
: Je propose les types suivants
+
: I suggest the following types:
::- Heures de vol : ce sera le compte principal de chaque avion où viendront les compensations des heures de vol débitées aux comptes Pilotes
+
::- Flight hours: this will be the main account of each aircraft where the compensations of flight hours is debited in the Pilots accounts.
::- Mécanique : ce compte permettra d'imputer les coûts liés aux vols d'essai mécanique, aux convoyages, ...
+
::- Mechanic: this account will allow inputting in the account the associated cost with the aircrafts, from mechanical trial flight to convoying...
::- Aéroclub : ce compte permettra d'imputer les coûts des vols non facturables aux pilotes (tels que Baptêmes, vols d'initiation, vols promotionnels, ...)
+
::- Flying club: this account will allow entering in the account the flight/aircraft costs unable to be allocated to the pilots (like maiden flight, initiation flight, promotional flights...)  
 
<center>[[Image:Account_Type_Aircraft_en.jpg|Compte type avion]]</center>
 
<center>[[Image:Account_Type_Aircraft_en.jpg|Compte type avion]]</center>

<center>[[Image:Account_Aircraft_en.jpg|Compte avion]]</center>
  
=== Club ===
+
=== Client ===
* Dans Comptes/Comptes Club créer les comptes de gestion du club.
+
* Create the client management accounts in Accounts / Client Accounts.
  
Pour chaque compte vous pouvez initialiser le montant de départ. Nécessaire lorsque l'on reprend les valeurs d'une compta existante pour que les comptes soit synchrones avec votre logiciel de comptabilité. Pour l'instant laisser ce champs à zéro.
+
For each account you can initialize the starting amount. It is necessary when we recover the values of an existing account in order to make the accounts synchronized with your accounting software. For the moment leave this field to be 0. It is also in this place where the necessary corresponding chart of accounts is indicated to export your transactions. The value is not mandatory as long as you do not want to export to an accounting software.
C'est aussi ici que l'on indique la correspondance du code comptable nécessaire pour exporter vos transactions. Valeur non obligatoire tant que vous ne voulez pas exporter vers un logiciel de compta.
+
  
Nota : il existe un module d'import qui permet d'effectuer ces opérations par lot (Club/Import)
+
Note: There exists an import module which allows performing these operations by batch (Club / Import).
  
La case a cochée permet à ces comptes de recevoir de l'argent en provenance de l'extérieur ( cas des comptes Club et Baptême)  
+
The box to be checked allows these accounts to receive the money from outside (in case of accounts Club and maiden flight).
  
: Je propose les comptes suivants
+
: I suggest the following accounts.
::- Club : ce compte permet d'enregistrer des opérations hors heures de vol (librairie, subventions, etc). Pour une meilleure gestion il est préférable de créer des comptes pour chaque rubrique que d'utiliser un compte fourre-tout
+
::- Club : this account allows registering the operations besides the flight hours (library, subsidy, etc.). For better management, it is preferred to create an account for each column than to use an account for all.
::- Banque : pour enregistrer les règlements
+
::- Bank: to record the payments.
::- Espèces : bien que ce soit aussi un règlement il est souhaitable d'enregistrer les espèces dans un compte séparé
+
::- Cash: Although this is also a payment, it is desirable to register the cash in a separate account.
::- Baptême : pour enregistrer les mouvements liés aux baptêmes, vol d'initiation, etc...
+
::- Maiden flight: to register the movements related to maiden flight, initiation flight, etc...
::- Mécanique : pour enregistrer les mouvements liées à la mécanique
+
::- Mechanic: to register the movements related to the mechanicals.
::- Cotisation club : pour enregistrer les écritures liées aux cartes club, adhésions, etc...
+
::- Club membership: to register the accounts related to Club subscription, membership, etc...

OpenFlyers 2.1 Configuration

The 2.1 release introduces flight management, pilot account management, as well as all accountancy management features. Making these functions to a working state requires some parameter settings.

Configuration operation sequencing is of most importance! Neglecting that may create some bugs and problems.

Introduction

First Initialisation

  • Log in with the ID/password admin/admin or with an admin profile if you have already done an ID admin modification.
  • Go to Admin/Users/"Users list" to create your own member file.
  • Choose your date display format
  • Choose the timezone and your language
  • Fill in your file
  • Do not forget to check the "club admin" profile, the only available profile at this stage
  • Log out, and then log in with your newly created ID.
  • Go back to Admin/Users/"Users list" and delete the admin member file.

Parameter Menu

Access the page through Admin/Configuration/Parameter Setting. This is where the various functions will be activated/inactivated.

Do not forget to push the "Submit" button on every section before setting a new section.

Reservation Management

  • Checking "Standard booking: by aircraft": each aircraft is identified by his own registration.
  • Booking by aircraft type allows to manage reservation by aircraft pool according to their type (Cessna 152, Robin DR42,...): thus reservation is not made with the registration chosen by the user but with the first available aircraft (according to a sequence/queue defined by the admin) of the same type as the one selected by the user
  • Limitation in the time of the reservations: there is the limitation in the number of weeks of advance reservation
  • Number of reservations limitation: to limit the number of the reservation each pilot can make
  • Fill in destination airfield: mandatory to fill in the destion field according to the duration
  • You may choose to display the following booking field or not: "Same day" and "Booking comments"
Gestion des réservations

Licence Management

  • Disble it for the moment, as you will be able to activate it later!
Gestion des réservations

Membership Management

  • Select "Access Alert", this option will warn the users when log in if the membership is not updated. By the end of the parameter setting you can change to "Restrictited access" with definitive profile
  • Set the membership expiration date.
Gestion des réservations

Flight Management

  • Activate "Closing flight only"
  • Select time units (the most common hour, minute). .
  • No required flight
  • No tolerance mode (mistakes should be corrected by the pilot); Tolerance mode means that the software tries to correct the error(s) automaticly
  • Key panel inactive
  • Overhaul management activated
  • Enable all checkbox, later you can disable some of them
Gestion des réservations

Account Management

  • Active account management
  • No account type is created at this stage, so no default account can be selected
  • Indicate your account currency and the currency symbol
  • Display format is a pattern that allows you to manage your display (decimal separator, position symbol, ...) : $ for US Dollars, and € for Euro
  • No Management if the balance is below a minimum amount. You can set the minimum amount when creating the profile
Gestion des réservations

Club/Configuration Menu

  • Set the default langauge of the club; each pilot can configure his own display language
  • Fill in others club fields
  • Load your logo, the size around 300 x 200 pixels
  • Select your airfield; if your airfriend is not available in the database, select Other and put coordinate format NDDMMSS and WDDDMMSS
  • There is 2 messages box: the first on top of booking page, and the second on login page.
  • Mail list, select generic; this function will be set later
  • Set start and finish display time on booking page. Be carefull, it is UTC time, you should take into account your DST (Daylight Saving Time)if applicable

- example : France, Timezone UTC +1 h, DST summer + 1 h - Display booking : Start from 7 o'clock, End at 22 o'clock : set 5 h and 20 h in summer time or 6 h and 21 h in winter time - example : Nouméa, New Caledonia, timezone UTC +11 h, no DST - Display booking : Start from 7 o'clock, End at 22 o'clock  : set 20 h (start ) and 11 h (end) - example : Papeete, Tahiti, timezone UTC -10 h, no DST - Display booking : Start 7 o'clock, End 22 o'clock  : set 17 h (start ) and 8 h (end)

  • Set minimal booking time and flight default time
  • Administrator name is shown on login page with an email link
  • Check default options for your new users
  • Set the default format date
  • Set timezone. Do not think of DST because it will be calculated automatically by the server

Admin/Users Menu

  • In Users/Users go to the page where your log-in appears and tick off the membership checkbox, then click on "update"

This should update the expiry date of membership set before

  • Go to Users/Status to create the status you wish for your club. I recommend: Student, Captain, Instructor as the minimum.
Statuts

Admin/Fleet Menu

Alert message will appear because of incomplet configuration. Ignore the messages; they will disappear as your follow the tutorial
  • Flights/Flight types add flight type necessary for your club.
I suggest: local flight, cross-country, flight instruction, maiden flight, maintenance check flight
Types de vol
Set Incompatible flight types
Cross-country flight/Local flight
Maiden flight/Local fight + Cross-country flight + Flight instruction
Maintenance check flight/Local flight + Cross-country flight + Flight instruction + Maiden flight

To allow calculation of statistics, do not allow pilots to check multiple boxes when inputting flights; calculation of statistics will not be possible at the end of the year. We must create as many types of flight as necessary and put the maximum incompatibility. Only the type of flight in the case of a second pilot on board can be compatible with other types

Types de vol incompatible
Do not fill in the Required qualifications table

Click on "Parameters" to define the required flight type in the case of a second pilot on board. This displays on page Club parameters, in Flight management check "Flight instruction" in "Required flight type when there is a second pilot on board". This action checks automatically "Flight instruction" when flying instructor will be selected as the second pilot.

Admin/Feet/Aircraft types Menu

Now it is time to create the your fleet aircraft type:

  • In Fleet/Aircraft Types/ add your aircraft types
Aircraft Type
  • After validation, click on Edit (pencil icon)
Choose the time unit for the time meter of your aircraft
Tolerance is tolerated meter gap between 2 flights. This will avoid alerts for forgotten flights. You can leave at 0
Indicate the endurance for the aircraft
Choose your method fo computation management flight time. " Difference between start and stop" - You can change it later if it is not applicable in your case. For more information about possible formula please refer to Formula for calculating Flight Times
Validate
Indicate your aircraft tanks: the name of the tank, fuel type, and unit. Click add between each tank.
  • Return to the previous page
  • Do not create incompatibility
  • Do not create required flight types
  • In Allowed functions for this aircraft type, you must define the position in the aircraft : put "Captain" and "Student" as #1 and "Instructor" as #2
Allowed Fonctions by aircraft type

Admin/Fleet/Aircraft Menu

Once the type of the aircraft is created, you are going to create your aircraft fleet:

  • Go to Fleet/Aircraft and add an aircraft
add an aircraft
  • For each aircraft click edit icon, you can set the values to manage engines potentiels.If you have declared a counter in aircraft type, set the last counter for your plane. For the software to calculate the potential, set the flight time computation begin date. Only flights beyond this date will be recorded.
Initialisation counter

Admin/Fleet/Maintenance Menu

Click the Edit icon, you can set the potential management parameters' value.
Next maintenance date: It is the date used as the reference for calendar alerts (e.g. CDN renewal). While waiting for the maintenance management module (which would be available with OpenFloyers 3.0), the mechanic manages the threshold himself by putting the limit according to his maintenance program.
Next maintenance hour: This is the hour count for reference. The program deducts from this value the reference hours indicated in the Aircraft page and the flight time input by the pilots to calculate the remaining time.
Levels of the alerts: There are 3 levels of hour and calendar alerts to set according to the desires of the mechanic. The visual alert in the reservation page will be the first due deadline.
Maintenance
  • The maintenance table recapitulates the information.
Tableau de bord maintenance

Users Menu

  • Now, let us go to the Users Menu to create the different profiles you wish for your club, which manages the access right.
  • I would recommend: Administrator, Pilots, Student, Instructor, Secretary, Accountant, Mechanic, and Visitor.
Profil Réservation

Account Menu

Let us now go to create different accounts.

Management / Export

  • Define a commencement date of the exercise account.
  • Validate by clicking “Accounting period start date".
Compte club
The page will be re-posted with the fields to close the exercise. You have one year before worrying about it again.

Budget

If you decide to deal with budget, it's better to define budget names before creating accounts.

Supplier Bill Management

Once budgets are defined, it is possible to create the accounts useful for the supplier management module.

Then, you have to define the suppliers and for each of them to allocate a supplier account.

Members

  • Create the account type in the Accounts / Members / Account Type. Every pilot can have several account types (for example, in the case of enterprise committees); To start to create a single account type: Main.
Users accounts types
  • The user list will be posted in Accounts / Members. A click on the red icons will activate the the user account.
Users accounts

Return to Admin / Users / Groups. Click on the icon Standard Modifier and input the required account type: Main.

Return to the Client / Parameter management page.

  • In the membership management section, sets the access restricted to visitor profile and indicates the expiration date of the membership fee.
membership parameter
  • In the flight management section, sets the flight type “instruction” in the case that a second pilot is on board.
membership parameter
  • In the accounts management section, sets the default account type to: Main.
  • If the pilot account balance is less than the minimum amount: restricted access to the negative balance profile.
membership parameter
Remember the due date to renew the membership for your designated administrator.

Aircrafts

  • Create the account types in Accounts / Aircrafts / Account Type. This automatically creates an account allowing the distribution of the account entries for each aircraft.
I suggest the following types:
- Flight hours: this will be the main account of each aircraft where the compensations of flight hours is debited in the Pilots accounts.
- Mechanic: this account will allow inputting in the account the associated cost with the aircrafts, from mechanical trial flight to convoying...
- Flying club: this account will allow entering in the account the flight/aircraft costs unable to be allocated to the pilots (like maiden flight, initiation flight, promotional flights...)
Compte type avion
  • Click on the red icons in Accounts / Aircrafts to initialize the accounts
Compte avion

Client

  • Create the client management accounts in Accounts / Client Accounts.

For each account you can initialize the starting amount. It is necessary when we recover the values of an existing account in order to make the accounts synchronized with your accounting software. For the moment leave this field to be 0. It is also in this place where the necessary corresponding chart of accounts is indicated to export your transactions. The value is not mandatory as long as you do not want to export to an accounting software.

Note: There exists an import module which allows performing these operations by batch (Club / Import).

The box to be checked allows these accounts to receive the money from outside (in case of accounts Club and maiden flight).

I suggest the following accounts.
- Club : this account allows registering the operations besides the flight hours (library, subsidy, etc.). For better management, it is preferred to create an account for each column than to use an account for all.
- Bank: to record the payments.
- Cash: Although this is also a payment, it is desirable to register the cash in a separate account.
- Maiden flight: to register the movements related to maiden flight, initiation flight, etc...
- Mechanic: to register the movements related to the mechanicals.
- Club membership: to register the accounts related to Club subscription, membership, etc...
- Landing taxes: to register the landing taxes claims not paid by the pilots.
- Gasoline refund: to register the gasoline refund claims paid by the pilots.
Compte club

Payment List

In Accounts / Payments / Payment types, you are going to indicate the payment mode used in the club.

The name of the payment type should be input. You can disable the input from the pilots. Only the authorized personnel will be able to input the payment type.

Edit box heading: if you leave this field empty, there will not be any complementary field; If not, please indicate the name you want, which appears before the input box.

The supplier field is only related with the debit card payment installed in the OpenFlyers server.

I suggest: Check, Cash, Debit Card (optional type), Bank transfer.

Pricing Variables Setting

In Accounts / Hourly charge rate/ Parameter management of the variables, you can create some variables which will then be used in the tariffing formulas. This enables updating the flight hourly charge rate without modifying all the pricing/charging formula. Only input some numbers or letter, for example:

$C1: Cessna Solo,
$D1: DR400 Solo,
$L1: Lionceau Solo,
$CS1: Cirrus Solo,
$CS2: Cirrus DC,
$DC: double command.

Values of Pricing Variables

In Accounts / Hourly charge rate/ Variable setting, you are going to indicate the value of each variable. This variable has also a beginning date of application. This allows OpenFlyers to apply the adequate rate even in case of modification between two periods of the rate change.

Indicate the value for each variable.

To invoice the double command, you can manage by applying Solo + DC or the individual rates.

Hourly Charge Rate

In Accounts / Hourly Charge Rate, you are going to indicate to OpenFlyers how to calculate the flight time price.

Add a pricing:

Example Solo flight

In order to adapt to the multiple methods of flight hours calculation of the flight structure, OpenFlyers enables entering a pricing formula based on the elements input in database. Some examples about the pricing formula are described in this wiki. As a starting point, we indicate the price calculated on the flight time to be $C1*%DURATION/600.
- $C1=Variable initialized before
- %DURATION=flight time
- 600=coefficient corresponding to a time rate
