Flight hours computation

In all formula, due to difference with interpretation of decimal separator in various personnal computer, all values must to write without decimal separator, use X/Y to obtain correct value

Do not forget that time is given in sexacentimal. So to convert in hours you have to divide by 600.

1 minute = 10 sexacentimals
5 minutes = 50 sexacentimals
1 hour = 60 minutes = 600 sexacentimals
1 hundredth of hour = 6 sexacentimals
10 hundredth of hour (=1 tenth of hour) = 60 sexacentimals

Example: for 100,10 $/h

10010*%DURATION/60000
to round at 5 minutes : roundCeil(X,50)
to round with 10 hundredths : roundCeil(X,60)

Round difference of the hours at (top) 5 minutes

roundCeil(%DURATION, 50)

Round difference of the hours at (bottom) 5 minutes

roundCeil(%DURATION - 40, 50)

Round difference of the hours at (nearest) 5 minutes

roundCeil(%DURATION - 20, 50)

Difference of the counters plus 5 minutes

%COUNTER_ARRIVAL - %COUNTER_DEPARTURE + 50

Round difference of the counters at 10 hundreth

roundCeil(%COUNTER_ARRIVAL - %COUNTER_DEPARTURE, 60)

Greater between difference of the hours and difference of the counters

max(%DURATION, %COUNTER_ARRIVAL - %COUNTER_DEPARTURE)

Greater between difference of the hours and round difference of the counters at 5 minutes

max(%DURATION,roundCeil(%COUNTER_ARRIVAL - %COUNTER_DEPARTURE, 50))

Difference of the counters rounded to the nearest 5 minutes

roundCeil(%COUNTER_ARRIVAL - %COUNTER_DEPARTURE - 25, 50)

Pricing management example

  • An aircraft with a cost of 94 € per flight hours, will have:
94*%DURATION/600
  • An aircraft with a cost of 110 € per "counter" hours, will have:
110*(%COUNTER_ARRIVAL-%COUNTER_DEPARTURE)/600
  • When it's week-end, the cost (100 €) per flight hours is cut to half, the formula will be:
(formatDate('%w', %START_DATE) == 0 OR formatDate('%w', %START_DATE) == 6) ? 50*%DURATION/600 : 100*%DURATION/600

Validity type

You may define your own validity types (licence, medical, etc.)

For doing that, you got several parameters available:

Time limitation

For validity types with a time limitation (pilots will have a date to set for this kind of validity)

Identifier code management

Add a field for entering the id of the validity type attached to the pilot

Obtaining date management

Add a date field for the obtention date of the qvalidity type

Reserved to instructors

Validity types reserved to instructors

Blocking validity

Validity types will be blocking for flight (not for booking)

Recent experience: "experience formula"

You may create validity types checking recent experience like hours or landing number.

Like other validity types, those ones are managed in the validity type manager (admin menu: Users/Validities types)

Formula checking recent experience have to be set in the "experience formula" column.

In order to make them work after inputting a flight, you have to set on which flight type and/or aircraft type you want the check to be triggered. For flight type, go to admin menu: flights/flight types then go to section Required validity type(if alone onboard) for a given flight type and check the recent experience. For aircraft type, go to admin menu: fleet/aircraft types then go to section Aircraft types. In validity type column, click onto the image that gonna lead you to a new page then check the recent experience.

Get the list of members whom had subscribed this year

<syntaxhighlight lang="sql">SELECT first_name,last_name FROM authentication RIGHT JOIN member ON member.id=authentication.id WHERE year(member.subscription)=$year ORDER BY last_name,first_name</sql>

User import

You can import member via a CSV file (see details in the concerned page). Here below some particularities with the import file :

  • About sex : use M for male and F for female. Others characters and no value mean undefined sex.
  • About dates : allowed formats are YYYY-MM-DD and DD-MM-YYYY. D represents the day as a two-digits number, M represents the month as a two-digits number and Y represents the year as a four-digits number. In case you specify a bad format, the import will end at the current line where the error was found, leaving a red message. The current member and the following won't be imported.
  • About nationality, use code id. To get code id of your nationality, check here.
