A Good Tip!


Recommended Posts

I really don't recommend auto-accept pireps, just to give examples I do see some times weird Pirep fuel consumption (like in bilions) because

pilot was using a 'tweaked' plane , or hours going negative because pilot take off during the night for a 1 hour flight but changed fsim hour to land at daytime (or vice versa)

if all pireps comes 100% OK, auto-accept could be a big help, but on reality it's not like planned you will never archive 100% good reports

and explain to pilots why their hours went backwards or why your finances show 100M down on a single PIREP , will give you a lot more headache than accepting pireps manually

what we are planning on our VA is assign Hub Managers , and have this managers accept(be responsible) pireps on their assigned hubs ( e use the first digit of our schedule number to define hub)

Perhaps there might be a way to accept longer automatically with certain parameters, Example, If Auto Detect A log Pierpa With Rate Exceeding -350 he had refused.

But surely it is much more complicated Produce This Addon

You can accomplish that with an addon (pirep_file hook) that checks for parameters and then you can reject it automatically.

But I don't recommend this for the reasons liberie posted, and also because running the VA should require some effort on your part. If you automate everything, then it's almost defeating the purpose of even having an entire system structured around running.

But either way, it is possible, but not without some effort in coding all the parameters. IMO some manual effort is faster in the end.

Always be putting work into your va. If your pilots found out that everything was automated and you didnt have time for the va so you dont confirm anything to make sure its correct or something didnt happen, they mite get a little upset and mite want to quit.
