To integrate, the following details are required:

• Username to FTP Server

• Password to FTP Server

• Host - selecting either the URL or IP address

• Selecting either the FTP or FTPS server to which the files should be uploaded

Leon will validate the data by trying to connect with the selected server.

How it works

Leon generates two types of files and uploads the files to the selected server as follows:

• Executed flights:

  • Include the flight data generated for the past 7 days from the end of the current day to the beginning of the day 7 days in the past

  • The file is generated and uploaded into the ‘Executed Flights’ folder on the server 3 times a day (every 8 hours)

• Future flights:

  • Include the flight data generated for the following 6 months from the beginning of the current day until the end of the day 6 months in the future

  • The file is generated and uploaded into the ‘Future Flights’ folder on the server once a day

APG - Aircraft Performance Group

The APG activation process is done globally for the airline rather than per User.

In order to activate APG integration you need to:

1. Go to the ‘Add-ons’ section and open the ‘Configuration’ tab of the APG integration section

2. Switch the Status button to ‘ON’

3. Insert APG dispatcher‘s login credentials. These are the login details of a person with the ’dispatcher’ status in APG

4. You can also tick the Autosend button. It will automatically send the schedule to APG every 5 minutes

5. Save changes. This will activate the integration for all the Users

If the credentials are incorrect Leon will display a warning message. If along the way, you change your credentials in APG, you will be asked to update it in Leon.

Existing APG Users, who configured APG integration with their own login and password from the OPS page will not be affected by this change unless they wish to activate the ‘Autosend’ button. In this case, the abovementioned activation process must be followed.

Once the above conditions are fulfilled you can start sending flights to APG.

If you are sending the flights manually, this can only be done from the OPS section of Leon.

To send a schedule to APG you have to:

1. Click on the APG link available in the documents tooltip (right-click the mouse in the Table section) in order to activate the “Send to APG” window.

2. The “Send to APG” window displays chosen the schedule and gives the option to choose the aircraft and crew. Aircraft and crew suggested in this window are the ones input in the APG database. Click the “Send” button to send to APG.

3. Schedule available to view in APG.

APG has its own database of Crew and Aircraft.

When sending flights to APG:

• Flight Number - must be A-Z, 0-9, from 2 to 7 digits long.

• Crew - are being matched by emails (work email address in Leon). If emails do not match, Crew space is left blank and Crew have to be picked manually in APG software.

• Aircraft - matched by its registration. Hyphens in the registration are ignored.

The integration allows downloading quotes from Avinode into the section Requests/Quotes, exporting aircraft availability and empty legs to Avinode, including options and opportunities.

How to integrate

Before enabling this option you need to contact techsupport@avinode.com and request a special ‘Authorization key’ (it is a different key to the one you use to log in to Avinode software).

Once you have received it, click the button ENABLE and in the section ‘Configuration’ click ON, insert the Authorization key provided by Avinode and mark which aircraft schedule should be sent to Avinode.

You can also define additional settings, such as:

Open

• Download requests for quotes - enable automatic downloads of the quote requests into the Requests/Quotes section.

• Update requests and quotes from Avinode - enable automatic request status updates when accepting/declining quotes in Avinode (as a Seller)

• Use Leon aircraft performance - suggested flight times will be based on fleet performance data inserted in Leon (section Settings > Fleet). If switched off, Leon will download the flight time from Avinode

• Add subcharter quotes automatically - Accepted Avinode requests will be added automatically as subcharter quotes to matching requests in Leon

• Send options – Non-confirmed flights (Options) will also be exported to Avinode.

• Send opportunities - flights with the status ‘Opportunity’ (defined in OPS, tab TRIP) will be sent to Avinode.

• Send gross total price - setting allowing send the Gross price (including VAT) iso Price to Avinode

• Send quote ferry flights - depending on the setting, ferry legs are sent (ticked) or not sent (unticked) to Avinode when accepting the quote from Leon. In Avinode, it will be reflected in the Trips > Selling > Details > tab ‘Quoted’

• Automatically reject unanswered quotes - accepting Avinode requests in Leon will automatically reject unanswered quotes in Avinode

• Send only continuous availability from aircraft home base – sends aircraft availability only when the aircraft is located/repositioned to Home Base.

• Update quote when sending contract - this setting allows sending the contract to Avinode and changing the status of the request. Once the contract is sent, the status of the request both in Avinode and Leon will switch to ‘Accepted’

• Reposition aircraft to homebase after [h] - figure in this field indicates how many hours Aircraft will be visible at Home Base in Avinode.

• Avinode login - this field will allow inserting the default user which will be used for API connection between the Avinode and Leon

• Export Automatically - automatic export of the schedule to Avinode.

• Send services - allows sending the details of the following providers selected in the OPS Checklist to Avinode: Handler/FBO names and PAX Transport provider names

• ‘EXPORT NOW’ button - this allows exporting schedule to Avinode at any given time.

ADD ACCOUNT allows connecting Leon account to another account in Avinode. Functionality is explained at the end of this subsection.

How it works

Export

In order to allow buyers to search available aircraft for requested trips, Avinode requires a precise aircraft schedule from aircraft operators.

Leon allows automatic schedule export to Avinode for selected aircraft. All aircraft for which the schedule is sent automatically to Avinode should be configured in Avinode for receiving data from Leon.

The first step in the export aircraft availability is integrating Leon with Avinode. This process is explained here.

If you want to receive messages after each export of flights to Avinode, type your code or the first letters of your name in the field Recipients.

Once all has been set up tick the aircraft of which flights you want to be exported.

EXPORT INSIGHTS

Before sending the data to Avinode there are steps required to be done:

• The aircraft needs to be active in Avinode Marketplace with the status: Fully Active.

• An API connection needs to be set up in the Avinode Marketplace for the company marketing the aircraft in the Avinode Marketplace. This company is usually the operator, but it can also be a different company (i.e. not the operator holding the AOC for the aircraft) marketing the aircraft. API Connections can only be set up by Avinode staff and are usually done by product specialists (support@avinode.com) upon request from the company marketing the aircraft.

• The aircraft must be configured in the Avinode Marketplace to receive automatic schedule updates (i.e. Aircraft Schedule Update Type = Integrated). This can only be configured by Avinode staff and is usually done by our product specialists (support@avinode.com).

• The company marketing the aircraft should have Activity Type Mappings configured in their Avinode Marketplace account. More information below

Export frequency

Leon sends a schedule for all configured aircraft every 15 minutes. It is also possible to make manual exports from the Avinode Add-on control panel.

What is being sent

Leon sends all activities from the time of export to the last aircraft activity in the database. Leon by standard sends all flights, reservations, and maintenance. It is also possible to send options and opportunities as regular activities.

The schedule for each aircraft has a form of a continuous timeline. Spaces between activities in the exported period are filled with special ONGROUND activities.

Activity Type Mapping – Leon Side

Aircraft activities prepared to send are mapped on codes corresponding to available Avinode activity types. However, the operator doesn’t have to configure the Avinode side with the same corresponding codes (see the section below).

There are five activity types on Leon side:

• FLIGHT – every flight with PAX

• EMPTY – every ferry flight and opportunity flight if the export is configured to send opportunities

• MAINT – every reservation and maintenance is mapped to this code

• OPTION – every flight option (if the export is configured to send options)

• OPPORTUNITY - every flight opportunity. A ferry opportunity flight can be mapped as an empty leg

• ONGROUND – every space between the above activities is filled with this activity (this includes time before the first activity and after the last activity if repositioning to homebase after hours is configured))

Activity Type Mapping – Avinode Side

Activities exported from Leon can be mapped to one of Avinode’s available statuses and therefore be subject to the search engines for trip requests and empty legs.

Empty Leg Availability

All activities mapped to this type will be considered empty leg availability and posted in the Empty Legs list in the Avinode System.

Ferry Availability

Activities mapped to this type will be considered available. This option will not post an Empty Leg as the aircraft is assumed available until occupied for the “passenger leg”. The engine will take into account the following “passenger leg” and will ensure that the aircraft has enough time to be in position for that.

Flight Occupied

Aircraft will be considered occupied and will not show when searches are performed in the Avinode System. This option should be used for all flight-related occupancy e.g. 135 trips, 91 trips, etc.

Occupied

Aircraft will be considered occupied and will not show when searches are performed in the Avinode System. This option should be used for all non-flight occupancy e.g Maintenance.

Onground Availability

Aircraft will be considered available on-ground. This option can be used to indicate transient (away from home base) availability. This will price the aircraft from the indicated airport, rather than the home base.

Option Availability

This is an “information only” type. Activities mapped to this type will be shown in the Schedule for the aircraft, but do in no way affect the schedule when searches are performed in the Avinode System as the aircraft is still considered available. This can be used for non-confirmed trips.

Open

Default Avinode mapping:

• FLIGHT – Flight Occupied

• EMPTY – Empty Leg Availability

• MAINT – Occupied

• OPTION – Option Availability

• OPPORTUNITY - Ferry Availability

• ONGROUND – Onground Availability

Operators can manually change mapping settings in Avinode for their own purposes.

Special configuration options

Send Options

If this setting is configured Leon also exports flight options. Options have different mapped status OPTION, discriminating them from a confirmed flight. Note that reservation and maintenance options are never sent to Avinode regardless of this setting.

Send Opportunities

If this setting is configured Leon also exports flights with opportunity status. Opportunities are sent to Avinode as empty legs and they should be mapped to the “Ferry Availability” Activity Type on the Avinode side.

Continuous availability from aircraft homebase

This option changes normal schedule export and exports only one activity for each aircraft indicating ONGROUND status of the aircraft in its homebase airport. This artificial activity is only day long and the Avinode system extends this status to future times. Note that Leon in that mode doesn’t send any real activity for all aircraft.

Auto reposition availability to home base after specified time [h]

It is possible to set automatic (artificial) repositioning to the home base after each activity. If the time between the last and next activity is greater than this factor (set in hours) system will add an artificial repositioning activity lasting one minute indicating ONGOUND status from the aircraft homebase.

This option is disabled when set to 0.

Import

Here you can set up an automatic Avinode quotations download by ticking the Download quotation automatically checkbox. Once ticked, Leon will download quotations every 15 minutes.

Connecting multiple Avinode accounts

Open

It is possible to connect multiple Avinode accounts to an account in Leon, considering one operator has configured more than one account in Avinode.

In order to connect further Avinode accounts to Leon account, the following steps are required

• Contact techsupport@avinode.com and request an ‘Authorization key’ for the additional account

• Contact Leon Support Team to activate the function

• Go to ADD-ONS > Avinode integration > ‘Configuration’ tab and click on the ADD ACCOUNT button located at the top of the configuration pop-up window

• Section for new connection should appear in the configuration pop-up window, as per the screen on the right

• The remaining part of the configuration works exactly the same as the standard configuration

At this stage, Leon downloads the requests from Avinode accounts as well as sends the empty legs and aircraft availability to the relevant accounts.

Additionally, multiple Avinode account options are available when performing the following actions:

• manually download the quotes from the Avinode account by clicking on the ‘DOWNLOAD REQUEST FROM AVINODE’ option, located at the bottom of the ‘Requests/Quotes’ view:

Open

• selecting ‘FIND SUBCHARTER/COMPARE THE PRICE’ option in the request:

Open

All connected Avinode accounts include the option of calculating the flight time based on the aircraft performance inserted in Avinode.

CAMP

CAMP Maintenance is the industry’s leading Aircraft Maintenance and Regulatory Compliance Management solution.

Open

How to integrate

In order to activate the integration, you need to contact support@campsystems.com and request User Name and Password for integration with Leon. The integration login details are not the same ones you use to log in to CAMP. Once you have this information, you can switch the Status to ‘ON’ and insert it in the CAMP integration section (Login and Password). The integration will activate upon saving it.

You can always change the password received from CAMP by clicking on ‘CONFIGURE’ and then the ‘CHANGE’ button.

How it works

The integration offers automatic TAH, TAC updates for all engines and APU.

Leon exports aircraft TAH & TAC (Total Aircraft Hours & Cycles) as well as APU hours (if updated in the Journey Log in Leon). CAMP integration works one way only from Leon to CAMP.

To make the integration work properly, you need to insert the Aircraft serial number in Settings > Fleet. Integration will check the aircraft serial number and registration.

Then, set up the airframe & engine details in a section MX > Fleet. Click on a selected aircraft and enter the tab CAM. Here, select Airframe ‘start date’ and insert TAH & TAC values. You can do the same for engines. You can also add separate data for ‘APU’ (Aircraft Power Unit), but it does not get automatically increased from the Journey Log entries (like engines) - this is a cumulative value, not hours per single flight. These are the values for the beginning of the day.

Centrik

Open

Centrik is an operational management system that provides you with the tools you need to manage your business in any regulatory climate. Centrik is an easy-to-use interface that makes filing reports or checking your operational status with modules to manage Risk, Safety, Compliance, Manuals, Documents, Meetings, Training and much more.

RESET INTEGRATION DATA button is available only to the administrators and allows reloading all Centrik endorsement data with one click. The process of resetting the endorsements might take a few minutes depending on the number of records

Optionally, you can also insert the “Category ID” information (“Training System ID”), if you need to limit endorsements loaded from Centrik to a particular category. In order to receive the string reflecting “Category ID” you need to contact Centrik support and they will provide you with one.

How it works

Once the integration is completed, Leon will download the endorsement definitions and the endorsements for particular Crew from Centrik. Leon will not replace existing Leon endorsements with the downloaded ones but will create additional records in the endorsements list. It is the Client’s choice to remove the non-relevant ones.

The Crew endorsements are matched by User email address. If the email addresses between Centrik and Leon a different for a particular User, Leon will not be able to match and download the endorsements for the User.

Changes to endorsement in Centrik will update endorsement details in Leon. The new endorsement in Centrik - if there is a new endorsement added in Centrik, Leon will update the record with the new one.

In a section Crew > Endorsements those imported from Centrik appear with Centrik Logo.

Open

The integration data is reloaded once a day at 20:00 CET/CEST.

Endorsements imported from Centrik are not editable.
