Screen

Screen is the default view when you first go to a WebFOMS screen. When Screen is selected you can view all records that exist in the system. Select the arrow in the first field of the WebFOMS screen to access the drop-down menu to view the list of available records.

Only items that exist in the database are shown in the drop-down list.

This program allows you to set a default additional fuel amount based on city pair, ALC, and equipment type.

Note: The Reason is pulled from the defaults you set up in Airline Code Parameters under Weights & Fuels. If you don't have a reason set up in the ACP menu no reasons will be available for selection.

Field	Description
Orig	Enter the ICAO, IATA, or FAA code of the airport of origin. Note: This field is not mandatory, however if you add an origin you must add a destination.
Dest	Enter the ICAO, IATA, or FAA code of the flight’s destination. The program will check to ensure that there is a route stored against the Orig-Dest city-pair. If there is not, an advisory message will appear. Note: This field is not mandatory, however if you add a destination you must add an origin.
ALC	Enter the appropriate 3-letter Airline Code that you want displayed on the flight plan if this is sub-charter flight. Note: The default value for this field is your own airline’s code. This code will prefix the flight number of any flight plan generated for this flight.
