ALC: This field represents the carrier’s three-letter airline code. Generally only one airline code is maintained on each system, however there is support for multiple airline codes should the user have the requirement to manage more than one airline code.

Comparison Burns

Lvl: Default comparison burn flight level.
ETOW: Comparison burn ETOW offset (+/-).
Profile: Comparison burn cruise profile.

Flight Package Section

Field	Description
Send to crew	Default option for sending flight packages. Options are (F)light Deck, (P)IC, (C)aptains, (A)ll crew, (N)one. Note: This requires email addresses to be set up in FOMS 160/Flight Operations Personnel.
WxChart Buffer FL	Used to add charts from a range of available FLs to the Flight Package. Example: A value of 50 with a cruise level of FL390 automatically adds charts FL340,FL390 and FL420.
WxChart Specific FL	Used to add a specific chart. Example: A value of 100 will automatically add a chart for FL100.
WxChart Buffer Time	This buffer allows you to decrease or extend the time range when auto-selecting weather charts to add to the flight package. A positive number adds more charts A negative number adds less charts. Example: If the flight time was from 0900 to 1300, a buffer would extend the time range to 0600 to 1600.
Send Selected Compute	Default to send selected compute instead of most recent. Options are Y (yes), N (no), or Blank. Blank means No.
Sign on Release	Sign flight papers on package send instead of on compute. Options are Y (yes), N (no), or Blank. Blank means No.
Combine Strut/Add Hold	Combine structural hold and additional hold values in the Flight Plan.

Route Analysis Section

Field	Description
Route Anal Types	Select the published route types to include in route analysis. Options include: (C)DR, (I)FPS, (P)ref, Play(B)ook, or (-) None.
Max IFPS Rtes	Define the maximum number of IFPS routes to be displayed as part of the route analysis. Default value is 1. The range available is 1-9.
Check 8.33 IFPS	Check aircraft for 8.33kHz equipment in IFPS airspace. Options are Y (yes), N (no), E (error), or Blank. Blank is NO.
Recalc if Winds Change	Recalculate route analysis of computed flights when winds change. Options are Y (yes), N (no), or Blank. Blank is NO.

Restricted Regions Section

Field	Description
Avoid	Define whether the system should try to avoid Published Restricted Areas. Options are: (Y)es, (N)o, (W)arn, (E)rror when failed.
Buffer	Enter a buffer in minutes for the time validity of Restricted Areas.
Notam Activated	Define the NOTAM-activated areas which should be considered restricted. Options are: (A)lert, (C)aution, (D)anger, (M)ilitary, (P)rohibited, (R)estricted, (T)raining, (W)arning, (U)nknown.
Fixed Area (AIP)	Define the fixed (AIP) areas which should be considered restricted. Options are: (A)lert, (C)aution, (D)anger, (M)ilitary, (P)rohibited, (R)estricted, (T)raining, (W)arning, (U)nknown.
Avoid UDAs
	Should the system try to avoid all User-Defined Areas? Options are Y (yes) or N (no). If set to Y, the system will try to avoid all user-defined areas, no matter the type. If set to N, the system behaviour will depend on the below setting.
	Should the system try to avoid User-Defined Areas? Options are (N)o, (W)arn, or (E)rror when failed. The system will only try to avoid areas which were defined as restricted in the Fixed Area (AIP) setting.

Seasons Section

Field	Description
Winter Start/End	Enter dates for the start and end of the winter season. Format is MMDD.

Notam Section

Field	Description
Filter Notam below FL	Hide all NOTAMs below the entered flight level.
Filter Notam above FL	Hide all NOTAMs above the entered flight level.

NOTAM Tunneling Section

Field	Description
V/H/R	V is vertical tolerance in FL / H is the horizontal tolerance in NM / R is the radius around the airport in NM.

RAIMS/ADSB Section

Field	Description
Auto Raim Check	If (Y) is selected, it automatically performs a RAIM check upon Compute.
Check Diversion Apt	If (Y) is selected, it includes diversion stations in the Terminal RAIM prediction.
Auto ADSB Check	If (Y) is selected, it automatically performs an ADSB check upon Compute.
12555 Exemption	Select (Y) if your airline has the 12555 Exemption for ADSB.
Interval	Interval Minutes for enroute and terminal RAIM prediction Offsets: Offset Minutes for enroute RAIM prediction Offset count for enroute RAIM prediction Offset Minutes for Terminal RAIM prediction (default is 30)
Mask Angle	Minimum angle to filter out any low angle satellites (default 5).
Main Only	If (Y) is selected, ADSB Validation is only done on the main computed route.

Reports Section

Field	Description
Exp CoNtm	Enter an alias for the system to send a hard copy report of NOTAMs that are within the notification window defined in FOMS 466/Company NOTAMs.

Route Gen Section

Field

Description

IFPS Auto Assist

Automatically enable route builder setting for IFPS Auto Assist. Options are (Y)es and (N)o.

If set to Yes, the system attempts to validate the generated route with IFPS during route generation.
If the route fails IFPS validation and IFPS offers routing assistance, NFP returns the suggested route.

Flight Plan Format Section

Field	Description
Default Fmt Num	Default flight plan format number. Refer to the formats available in your system to set a default; these numbers vary from customer to customer.
Show All Rte Wpt	Print ALL waypoints (Y) on the flight plan or Compulsory Only (N).
Compulsory Wpts	STARS: (Y) if you would like to show compulsory STAR waypoints only on the flight plan SIDS: (Y) if you would like to show compulsory SID waypoints only on the flight plan
Show All App Wpt	Allow approach waypoints to: Show on the flight plan as STAY Wpts (Y) Never show on the flight plan (N)
Unavail FL in Sum	Set to Y(es) to display unavailable flight levels in format Wind Summary on the flight plan
