Flight Board navigation panel
To access the flight board, click the Flight Board tab on NuvolOps (screenshot 1)
See screenshot below to review the navigation controls (screenshot 2)
The date selector allows you to display up to 15 days. Choose your start and end dates to select (screenshot 2.1).
The A/C Location button allows you to know where the Aircraft is, and if there is a mismatch between timeline events. Aircraft Location is calculated using the actual time and location whenever possible (screenshot 2. 2)
Flight Stacks are generated and placed on the Flight Board Timeline when two or more flights overlap. The stack will show the flights contained and their stages. Click to expand the Flight Stack to review the flights separately (screenshot 2. 3)
The Aircraft Filter allows you to select whether you want to see all aircraft, or only aircraft with activity in the selected time period (screenshot 2. 4)
Settings will allow you to modify the template (screenshot 2. 5)
Colour Coding (Charter Mode)
Each event is displayed in blocks and their colour define their operational status
GREEN - confirmed flight (Owner, Charter, Pref Charter). (screenshot 3. 1)
ORANGE - confirmed Positioning Flight (screenshot 3. 2)
BLUE - not confirmed flight (Optioned) (screenshot 3. 3)
ORANGE WITH STRIPES - Maintenance event planned (screenshot 3. 4)
RED WITH STRIPES - Maintenance event in progress (screenshot 3. 5)
GREEN WITH STRIPES - Maintenance event completed (screenshot 3. 6)
BLUE WITH STRIPES - the A/C is not available (due to Aircraft previously booked, unavailable crew, etc.) (screenshot 3. 7)
Colour Coding (Ops Mode)
Flight Legs are split into 2. The top half summarises the status of all of the preparation tasks of that Flight Leg but doesn’t include Crew:
Red = Not Started (screenshot 3.8)
Orange = In Progress (screenshot 3.9)
Green = Completed (screenshot 3.10)
The bottom half represents the entry of actuals (ATOT and ALDT) into that Flight Leg with the following for Confirmed Flights:
Grey = Actuals not required yet (Leg is in the future) (screenshot 3.11)
Red = Takeoff missing (screenshot 3.12)
Orange = Takeoff entered and Landing missing (screenshot 3.13)
Green = Takeoff and Landing entered (screenshot 3.14)
Actuals can’t be entered on Unconfirmed Flights so the bottom half of these Legs are shown as Black (screenshot 3.15)
Flight Leg Highlight “Glow” (Ops Mode)
In the Ops Mode a visual aid - “glow” - has been added for flight legs that require manual action.
1.Blue glow is shown around flight legs that are scheduled to depart in 15 minutes until 5 minutes after their scheduled departure.
2. Red glow is shown on flight legs that took off but have the ATOT missing.
3. Yellow glow is shown on flight legs that landed but have the ALDT missing.

Aircraft Location
The A/C Location button allows you to know where the Aircraft is, and if there is a mismatch between Timeline Events, including both Flights and Maintenance Events. (screenshot 5)
To display aircraft location, the minimum trip stage must be Optioned. If it is activated with invalid filters, these will change to Optioned, Quotation Confirmed, Flight Confirmed, Underway and Complete.
