This program is used as a control file to help ensure that access to the system is limited to designated personnel, and that Aircraft captains scheduled for particular flights are indeed compatible with the Aircraft scheduled for use. This can be of considerable significance in those cases where a change in Aircraft type is dictated by maintenance or scheduling problems. Operations staff are alerted that the crew scheduling will have to assign a different crew. The names of flight crew and Dispatchers can be drawn from this data file and transcribed to each flight plan as it is produced.
