Flight Progress Alert Profile Configuration
The Flight Progress profile is used to configure how and when the system processes Flight Progress Alerts, when they are triggered and reported.
The Flight Progress profile is used to compare planned values against actual values communicated during the flight.
Click the Flight Progress Profile tab.
REMINDER
The ALC is selected in the "Weather Profile", however it applies to all other profiles.
Click the Edit button.
Click the Include Flight Progress Profile? check box.
Click the Fuel input field.
Enter the fuel difference threshold. When the fuel value at a waypoint is below this threshold, an alert is generated.
Note: If checked, the system ignores the unit of measurement (kgs vs lbs).
Enter 100 into the Fuel field.
Click the Time dropdown button.
Click the >= - GreaterThanOrEqual list item.
Enter the waypoint time difference threshold in minutes.
Note: An alert is generated when this threshold is met or exceeded.
Click the Time input field.

Click the Level dropdown button.
Click the >= - GreaterThanOrEqual list item.
Enter the Flight Level difference threshold, in hundreds of feet.
Note: An alert is generated when the difference between actual Flight Level and planned Flight Level meets or exceeds this value.

Enter 10 into the Level field.
Click the Wind input field.
Enter the waypoint wind difference threshold.
Note: An alert is generated when the actual wind component is above the planned value by this amount.
Enter 40 into the Wind field.
Click the Departure Delay input field.
Enter the Departure Delay difference threshold. An alert is generated if the actual departure delay is above the planned value by this amount.
Note: The value entered cannot be negative. An alert is triggered only if the flight is delayed, not if the flight is early.
Enter 10 into the Departure Delay field.
Click the Arrival Delay input field.
Enter the arrival delay difference threshold in minutes.
An alert is generated if the actual arrival delay is above the planned value by this amount.
Note: The value entered cannot be negative. An alert is triggered only if the flight is delayed, not if the flight is early.
Enter 10 into the Arrival Delay field.
Click the Off Route check box.
Selecting the Off Route box will generate an alert whenever the system receives a position report from a point that is not part of the original planned route.
