The Flight Operations Personnel is intended as a control file to help ensure that access to the system is limited to designated personnel, and 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 will be alerted to the fact that 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.
The Flight Operations Personnel menu is a web-based version of the FOMS 160 menu. It has the same purpose as the FOMS 160 menu with the addition of a Copy button. The Copy button lets you copy enroute stations.
For an overview of the WebFOMS features, refer to the Aircraft Characteristics article. The features described there can be applied to all screens.
Edit
For instructions on how to make modifications on the WebFOMS screens, refer to the Modify / View Aircraft Characteristics article. It uses the Aircraft Characteristics as an example, but can be applied to all WebFOMS screens.
