  • Lease Expiries Saved Search

    We’ve recently created a Lease Expiries readymade report (Saved Search), similar in format to the corresponding context previously available in Ascend Fleets. You can select this from the Saved Search page (link). The Lease Expiries Saved Search will list all the known future scheduled leased expiry activity, from 1st Dec 2017 to the end of 2018 as a default. You’re free to adjust the lease expiry date range using the date range feature in the top left-hand corner or via the Add Filter Menu button within the Events category.

  • New Textron Aviation aircraft added to Fleets Analyzer

    Textron Aviation today announced a new twin-engine, high-wing, large utility turboprop – the Cessna SkyCourier 408.

    This type is now set up in our database and the 50 orders and 50 options have been added for FedEx Express. This will be visible in Fleets Analyzer from tomorrow.

  • New event type – Registered to Manufacturer

    For business aviation and helicopter customers, we have recently introduced a new aircraft event, “Registered to Manufacturer”, for brand-new aircraft for which we do not have an assigned order. This is a “temporary” event until the aircraft is delivered or we discover an order customer – at which point we will overwrite the event with a true order event line and follow it with a delivery event.

    This event will allow customers to see production activity for types where order backlogs are not transparent. These aircraft show a status of “on order” but do not have a scheduled delivery date assigned to them.

    The image below was taken from the profile of an S-92A with the serial number 920301.

  • New ATR Sub Series

    As a consequence of the recent ATR announcement regarding the introduction of the ATR 72-600F, and the accompanying order from FedEx, we have added a new Sub Series to the Flight Fleets Analyzer taxonomy.

    The new Sub Series is “ATR 72 600F Freighter”, and sits directly under the “ATR 72 600” Master Series. This can be seen in the Aircraft Type filter screenshot shown below.

  • Release Notes v9.3

    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

  • Supported browsers

    We have taken the decision to update our list of supported browsers. The new list is as follows:

    • Google Chrome (previous 12 months)
    • Mozilla Firefox (previous 12 months)
    • Microsoft Edge (previous 12 months)
    • Safari (previous 12 months)
    • Internet Explorer 11

    With the exception of Internet Explorer, browsers have transitioned from large infrequent releases – eg, IE9, 10, 11, etc – to a more frequent update cycle. Because of this, we have had to move away from stating specific browser versions; instead, we will state a specific period of time after release. We have chosen a period of 12 months. The exception to this is Internet Explorer 11, which is the only version of IE still supported by Microsoft and still the standard for many corporate users. We will continue to support IE11.

    What if your favourite browser is not on the list?

    If your browser of choice is not on the list, that does not mean you can’t continue to use it. However, we won’t be able to provide support for any issues that are specific to non-supported browsers.

  • 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.

  • Taxonomy changes to the Bombardier DHC-8

    We have updated our taxonomy slightly for the Bombardier DHC-8, to enable more flexible searching and allow customers to filter out the type’s Q-Series variants (later-produced versions with a cabin noise suppression system).

    For the DHC-8-400, we have renamed the master series from DHC-8-400 to  DHC-8-400 (Q400); i.e. it now includes the marketing name. “(Q400)” has also been added for all relevant type series and subseries aircraft.

    For the smaller Q200 and Q300, we have added the description in the type series and, in brackets, to the following subseries:

    • DHC-8-201Q
    • DHC-8-202Q
    • DHC-8-311Q
    • DHC-8-314Q
    • DHC-8-315Q
