  • Updated Field Picker

    The ‘Field Picker’ (used when selecting columns, groups, metrics etc.) has been updated to ensure that the full name of fields is always visible, and no longer truncated. The old Field Picker is shown below in Figure 1, with the updated version shown in Figure 2.

  • Participants filter

    In November 2017, we introduced the Participants field to Flight Fleets Analyzer as an optional column on the Aircraft Detail page, and in the header of aircraft profile pages.

    Definition: Participant in a financial transaction, such as a loan, mortgage, tax lease, etc. The role of each participant could include (but is not limited to) arranger, debt provider, equity provider, guarantor, etc

    To help find aircraft associated with specific Participants, we recently introduced the Participants filter. The Participant role differs slightly from the other nine company roles (Owner, Operator, etc) in that there can be multiple participants associated with an aircraft at any single point in time. Selecting multiple companies within the Participants filter will return aircraft if they are associated with any of the Participants: for example, Participant 1 OR Participant 2. This is shown in the example in Figure 1.Continue reading

  • New ‘Order Book’ Saved Search

    We’ve created a new Saved Search titled ‘Order Book’. This search shows the Gross Orders, Cancellations, Net Orders, and Total Deliveries change over time. The search has been built with filters applied for 737 and A320 Families.

    The quickest way to launch this search is via the ‘Run a saved search’ search box on the homepage.

  • Feedback request – proposed new Aircraft PDF/Print Profiles

    The current technical solution to printing aircraft profiles is to create a new web page that stacks the contents of each individual aircraft profile tab – for example, A/C History, Hours & Cycles, Maintenance, etc. This simple solution relies on the web browser to handle the printing. Unfortunately, this is far from ideal. For this reason we have been working hard to design a new solution that does not rely on the web-based version of the aircraft profile at all; instead, it’s a brand new aircraft profile formatted specifically for PDF (A4/Letter landscape). Not only will the print experience be far better, but the PDF can be downloaded and saved for offline use.

    The PDF versions of profiles will also:Continue reading

    On Saturday 21 October we will be releasing v9.3 of Flight Fleets Analyzer. This release contains the following enhancements:

    • Knowledge Base notifications
    • Fleet number
    • Icons added to the homepage search fields

    Knowledge Base notifications

    Since its launch in May 2017, the Flight Fleets Analyzer Knowledge Base has become an important resource for users who wish to learn about and keep up to date with Flight Fleets Analyzer.  But, while meeting with users at MRO Europe recently, it became apparent that many users aren’t aware of the Knowledge Base. For this reason, we have taken the decision to alert users to new Knowledge Base articles when they access Flight Fleets Analyzer. Every time you access Flight Fleets Analyzer, if there have been new Knowledge Base articles published since your previous visit then you will be presented with a list of these articles on the right side of the homepage.Continue reading

  • Release Notes v9.2

    In this release we have made a few enhancements to help you find saved searches.

    • A new Saved Search search box on the homepage (see previous article)
    • Filtering on the Saved Search page (see below)

    Filtering on the Saved Search page

    All of the tables within the Saved Search section (My searches, Shared with me, FlightGlobal/ACAS/Ascend, and My Exports) can now be filtered via the table headers. Combined with the new search on the homepage, this should make finding saved searches far easier.

  • Flight Fleets Analyzer moved to HTTPS

    In October, users of Google Chrome will start to see a warning in their browser on any web page that includes a form field – e.g. search, address, passwords, filters, usernames etc – that is not transmitted using HTTPS (because the data is being transmitted over the web without encryption).

    Flight Fleets Analyzer has always used encryption for the transmission of username and password on the sign-in page. As of 14 September, the whole of Flight Fleets Analyzer now operates over HTTPS – i.e. all submitted data is now encrypted. When using Flight Fleets Analyzer you should not see any Google warnings stating that the page is “not secure”.

    This change should not affect your access to Flight Fleets Analyzer. However, if you previously had to ask your IT/security department to create a firewall exception for access to the sign-in page of Flight Fleets Analyzer (login.flightglobal.com) , you may now need to ask for this to be extended to the whole of flightglobal.com (*.flightglobal.com).
