KAcars and Off Sked Flights

[Dee]

Hello

Apologies if this has been asked before , what would be the right way to allow pilots to

fly Routes/Destinations which are not in the Schedule . So Far with FSAcars we would just put in

any city pair and the Pilot ID as the Flight Number , on ending the flight the log would be accepted .

where the City pairs or ICAO City was missing in the DB , most would get added auto or via a manual entry

before the pirep manager accepted the Pirep . Would Like very much to have the option to fly off sked routes

if at all possible with KAcars , thanks in advance

You should be able to do this using the Charter Function.

I suppose I would have to look at the Charter Options , if we had a feature where a Pilot could Bid on a Charter

that would make it great , Pilot Just adds a Bid via a FORM ...Flight number could be Pilot ID itself

Then when Pilot clicks to get Bid , the Charter Details would get added just as he would have filed via the Manual form

Possible ? as a wish feature or Not neccesary to go that way

EDIT.... Ah you posted just as I was typing

Bidding on a charter would have to be done server side. The charter function of kACARS allows the pilot to add in the dep and arr into the kACARS screen. It also pulls a list of your aircraft from your site and allows the pilot to choose which aircraft they wish to fly.

Many Thanks for the patient reply , and for the Software......Right..am just gonna go ahead and Try a Charter for a Non Sked , so I can advise our Pilots accordingly and scrap the FSAcars since this was our only major concern to allow fkights between any Cities

If you have any problems let me know. I have never tried the charter option and having been waiting to here if it works correctly. I believe that some folks are using I am just not 100% sure that they are.

jeff at the moment we are doing a eurotour with the tnt acars using only the charter button working like a charm the only downside but this serversid related as there is no flightnumber so no schedulle the system wont add anny pilot pay expences and stuff as it doesn't know the flight and what the cost are.
