DIFLIS - Configurability

The AviBit Flight Strip Editor is part of the COTS delivery by which the following properties of the system and Flight Strips can be defined:

 

  • Complete appearance of the strip bays like: colors, size, number of bays, fonts, background, etc.

  • Size of strips and strip background

  • Content of strip, meaning which information of a flight plan is shown on which position of the strip. For each of these fields the display parameters (color, fonts, background) can be separately defined.

  • Reaction of the system when the user clicks on a field of the flight strip (e.g. popup menus)

  • Behavior of the "Action Button"

The system is capable of handling different kinds of strips like: Arrival / Departure / Local / Overflights / IFR / VFR / Vehicle / Tow truck / Info Strip. The parameters mentioned above can be separately defined for each kind of strip.

 

The Flight Strip Editor is the perfect tool which puts the customer into the position to define the strips exactly in the way he wants them without any software change. This reduces the time for familiarization and training significantly.

 

"So what does the customer have to do if he would like to change the strip appearance?". That is pretty easy: As already mentioned, the Flight Strip Editor is part of the COTS delivery of AviBit. At the start of the project AviBit engineers perform the first strip configuration according the layout of the previous paper strips and / or according to the wishes of the controllers. Then the customer can further adapt the strip layout and / or appearance without any software change. If required, AviBit can perform later changes in the layout within the frame of a maintenance / service contract.

 

The picture on the right hand side shows a screen shot of the DIFLIS Strip Editor. This software can be run on any laptop or office PC. The resulting configuration file is copied to the DIFILS Server and the changes become operational at a pre-defined date / time.
