This section outlines the tools and functionality available for managing your aircraft fleet in Horizon.

✈️ 1. Accessing Aircraft Profiles

There are a few ways to access Aircraft Profiles.  From the Schedule or Calendar view, click on an aircraft name to open its profile in a new browser tab. This allows you to keep the schedule accessible while working on aircraft-specific information. You can also use the Aircraft main menu selection.

📃 2. Understanding Aircraft Data

Each aircraft profile contains several key areas:

• Missions

• Define which trip types the aircraft is authorized to operate (e.g., Cargo, Medevac, Charter, Positioning, Fractional, Demo, Maintenance).

• Configure mission types by regulation, required crew, and more.

• When planning a trip, mission filters ensure only appropriate aircraft appear in the selection list.

• Aircraft Events

• Log and track events such as Maintenance, Reserved, and Note categories.

• Record begin/end dates, location, personnel, and a description.

• Maintenance events must be marked "Completed" to make the aircraft available again.

• Events appear visually on the schedule and integrate with flight planning.

• Override Functionality allows for conditional scheduling during maintenance based on user permissions.

• Maintenance List ("Do List")

• Consolidated view of required maintenance, including manual and integrated system entries.

• Integrates with Traxxall and CAMP (FlightDocs/Veryon coming soon).

• Tracks details such as ATA code, alert type, due dates, grace periods, and more.

• MEL/CDL/NEF entries adjust fields dynamically (category, deferral date, flight restrictions).

• Displayed on the schedule and alerts planners during trip creation.

• Logbook

• Tracks all historical flights with timestamps, routes, hours, and cycles.

• Detects inconsistencies between flights.

• Airframe, engine, and component data are maintained here.

• Useful for compliance, historical reference, and analytics.

• Maintenance Buffers and Overrides

• Set system-wide or per-aircraft thresholds for upcoming maintenance.

• Buffers show visual indicators (color-coded) on the schedule.

• Authorized users can override based on defined rules.

• Summary

• Quick view of aircraft status: hours, cycles, due metrics.

• Drives reports and planning alerts.

• Configuration

• Set up the aircraft’s maintenance tracking system.

• Enable syncing of flight log data from FMS.

📊 3. Managing MELs and CDLs

From the aircraft schedule view:

• Click New Maintenance Item.

• Select type: MEL or CDL.

• UI fields will adjust based on selection.

• Enter required fields including deferral date, category, restrictions.

• Once resolved, enter the Clear Date.

• MELs and CDLs are color-coded and displayed on the schedule.

⚙️ 4. Integrating with Engine and APU Programs

If your engine/APU program provider offers API access:

• Horizon can send engine hours/cycles automatically.

• Setup requires entering provider credentials and connection details.

If API integration is not available:

• Use Power BI reports to export data.

• Reports can be scheduled to email providers in preferred formats (CSV, Excel, PDF).
