Following on from the Boeing 2017 performance article posted last week, we now have the complete set of delivery data for Airbus and Embraer.
As with the Boeing data, the best way to view this in Flight Fleets Analyzer is to start with the ‘Deliveries Made’ Saved Search, apply the relevant aircraft type/family filters, and then move to the Summary tab and group by Current Master Series. See figures 1, 2 and 3 below.Continue reading
As many users are keen to analyse aircraft manufacturers’ performance in 2017, we thought it important to advise on our data team’s progress in processing OEM figures for the year.
First up is Boeing. Its data is showing as updated in Flight Fleets Analyzer as of 11 January.
The searches shown below were generated using the ‘Deliveries Made’ saved search, with the relevant Boeing aircraft families added as filters and then grouped by master series.Continue reading
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.
On Saturday 9 December we will be releasing v9.5 of Flight Fleets Analyzer. This release contains the following enhancements:
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.
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.
On Saturday 18 November we will be releasing v9.4 of Flight Fleets Analyzer. This release contains the following enhancements:
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.
On Saturday 21 October we will be releasing v9.3 of Flight Fleets Analyzer. This release contains the following enhancements:
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
We have taken the decision to update our list of supported browsers. The new list is as follows:
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.
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.
What you can expect to find here: tips for users to get the most out of Fleets Analyzer, tricks for power users who are already in the know, product updates including sneak peeks and new features, and news about new data sets and taxonomy changes.
