Introduction 

Crew Group 

This topic covers the Crew group on the Plan Screen. You will learn how each option in the group is used by the N-FP system. 

We estimate that this will take 3 minutes to complete.

Detailed Explanation 

Crew group

The Crew group on the Plan screen allows you to enter information on the crew being utilized for the flight in question.

 It also displays the Signatory label (the currently logged in user's auto-signature), provided that N-FP is configured to do so. Contact Support to configure this feature. Once configured, the auto-signature also appears on the formatted flight plan.

These steps show you how to add crew members and their rank to to a flight. 

Click the dropdown button in the Crew group. 

Click the CPT list item.

Select a rank for the crew member. 

Choices for rank are:

• Dispatcher (DXR)
  
   
• Captain (CPT)
• First Officer (FO)
• Second Officer (SO)
• Navigator (NAV)
• Flight Engineer (FE)
• Load Master (LM)
• Purser (PR)
• Reserve Officer (RO)
• Senior Flight Attendant (SA)
• Flight Attendant (FA)
• Jump Seater (JS)
• Maintenance (MX)
• Additional Crew Member (ACM)
• Supernumerary Crew (SNM)
• Instructor (INS)
• Observer (OBS)
• Deadhead (DH)

 The OBS and DH designations are not available in the FOMS 160 Flight Operations Personnel as crew members do not hold these as qualifications. You can manually add in a crew member with these codes or the system can be configured to read this information from AIMS Crew Integration. A format change is required if you want to add these designators to your flight plan. Contact Support for more information.

If more than one captain is included in the crew, the UI displays PIC (Pilot In Command) for the first captain. Subsequent selections for captain are displayed as CPT. By default, the first captain entry is PIC.

Selecting the Captain icon flags a CPT as high minimum. Captains flagged as High Minimum are displayed in red font when added to the flight. An icon will be displayed in the Status column on the List screen if a High Min Captain has been assigned to a computed flight. A High Minimum Captain on Board tool tip is displayed if the user hovers the mouse over the icon.
