2. INTRODUCTION

Every time a live flight plan terminates, the FDP sends a message to the PAF/PISTA system

containing the information listed below:

Sequence number (3 characters, 001 to 999). The FDP assigns automatically the sequence number to

the flight plan, restarting it with 001 when it reaches the value 999.

CallSign (7 characters).

Register (8 characters).

Flight Type (1 character).

Origin (4 characters).

Sid (7 characters).

Aircraft Type (4 characters).

Speed (4 characters).

Destination (4 characters).

Star (7 characters).

Arrival Time (4 characters).

Rfl (4 characters).

Initial Time (17 characters).

Notes (20 characters).

SSR code (4 characters).

Flight duration (4 characters).

Distance (4 characters).

Wake turbulence (1 character).

Navigation equipment (10 characters).

Operator (20 characters).

Up to 25 fixpoints Each of them consisting of:

Fixpoint Name (11 characters).

Fixpoint Overfly level (3 characters).

Fixpoint ETO (4 characters).

The connection between the FDPS and the PC is carried out through an asynchronous RS232 line

with no parity, 8 bits of information to 9600 bits/s.






Fecha / Date: 09/07/2012

The billing program starts running automatically when the computer is turned on. It tries to open the

COM1 port in reading mode. If the program detects that the port is busy, it opens the COM2 port.

It is necessary that the RS232 line is connected to the PC COM1 / COM2 port used by the program to

read the data.

If the program achieves to open correctly one of the ports in reading mode, the icon depicted in the

Figure 1 is shown in the tool bar. Otherwise, The program stops running.

Figure 1: Billing program icon

Whenever the icon is shown in the tool bar the billing program is running, and it checks all the time if

the FDP has sent some message to the port opened in reading mode by the program.

Figure 2: Tool bar when the billing program is running

Whenever the program detects that the FDP has sent to it 89 characters (average size of a message),

it checks if the 89 characters make a complete message up. If that is the case, the program stores the

message in the data base that belongs to the current month. If the 89 characters don’t make a

complete message up, the program waits for more characters and just when it detects that there is a

complete message, it stores that message in the corresponding data base.

The folder C:/Billing/DataBase contains the Access data base Rs232Empty.mdb, which will be used

as template in order to generate the monthly data bases.

Every month the billing program will generate automatically a new data base called Billmm_yyyy.mdb,

where mm is the current month and yyyy is the current year. This data base will store the flight plans

of the corresponding month and year. These data bases will be kept in the same folder where the data

base Rs232Empty.mdb is kept, and the user will be able to work with them until he decides to remove

them manually.

Since the data base Rs232Empty.mdb is used as template in order to create the monthly data bases, if

the user want to add a new report, it will have to be done in that data base from Microsoft Access so

that the new data bases generated later on already contain those new reports.

Companies and unitary prices have to be stored manually in the tables Company and Aircraft

respectively belonging to the data base Rs232Empty.mdb.






3. BILLING WINDOWS DESCRIPTION

If the user pushes the right or the left button of the mouse over the billing program icon, a contextual

menu with two options is shown:

Figure 3: Billing program contextual menu

Both options are explained in the following sections.

3.1 OPTION “BILLING AND STATISTICS”

By pushing the right/left button of the mouse over this option, the billing program main window is

shown:

Figure 4: Billing program main window






Fecha / Date: 09/07/2012

The main window informs the user about what is the port that the billing program is using to read the

data.

The main menu of the window provides the options to display or print the available reports.

3.1.1 Billing

This option is used to display and print the billing reports (detailed or summary) corresponding to one

month (from the day belonging to the initial date to the day belonging to the final date) and a chosen

company. If no company is entered, the billing corresponding to all the flights belonging to all the

companies for the selected date are included in the report.

When the flights list window is opened, it appears empty.

When the button Search is pushed, the flights that match the search criterion are shown and the

buttons that allow to display and print the billing reports (detailed or summary) are enabled.

Figure 5: Billing window

Field Company Cod.: The code of a company (optional).

Field Initial date: The date format is dd/mm/yyyy (compulsory).






Field Final date: The date format is dd/mm/yyyy (compulsory).

3.1.2 Statistics

This option is used to display and print the flights arranged by company and aircraft type in a certain

date or in a dates interval in the same month.

Figure 6: Statistics window

Fields Initial date / Final date: The initial date and the final date are both compulsory

(dd/mm/yyyy) and they can be entered manually or using the calendar, selecting first the date and

then pushing the button Initial date / Final date.

Button Preview: It shows to the user a preview of the report.

Button Print: It prints the report in the predetermined printer for Microsoft Access.

Button Clean: It cleans the fields Initial date and Final date.

Button Set initial date / Set final date: It is used to set the initial date and the final date once they

are selected in the calendar.






Fecha / Date: 09/07/2012

3.1.3 New Reports

This option is used to display and print all the available reports, even the new reports created by the

users in the data base Rs232Empty.mdb.

By default the daily billing report and the statistics, both daily and monthly, reports will be shown. If the

user has created more reports in the data base Rs232Empty.mdb, those reports will be included in the

reports list.

Figure 7: New Reports window

Reports list: All the reports of the data base Rs232Empty.mdb are listed in it.

Report filter: It is a condition that the query which the report was created with must fulfil (written

using Microsoft Access sintax).

For example, if RptBilling is selected, and we want to get the billing corresponding to the day

27/09/2005, since that report is based in the Billing query and there is a field date in that query, we

would have to write Date=’27/09/2005’ in the report filter.

Moreover, if we also want to select only the flights of the IBERIA company, the report filter would

become Date=’27/09/2005’ AND Company=‘IBERIA’.






Month_Year: Month and year corresponding to the data base which we want to get the report

from. Format mm_yyyy. It is a compulsory field.

We have to keep in mind that if the report was included in the data base Rs232Empty.mdb after the

selected data base through entering the month and the year was created, that data base will not

contain the report. This one will have to be added to the data base manually from the data base

Rs232Empty.mdb, copying and pasting it.

Button Preview: It shows to the user preview of the report.

Button Print: It prints the report in the predetermined printer for Microsoft Access.

Button Erase Filter: It cleans the report filter.

3.2 OPTION “EXIT”

When the user chooses this option, he is asked if he wants to quit the program. If so, the program

stops running, the port is closed automatically and the information sent by the FDP is no longer read.

Furthermore the program icon vanishes from the tool bar.

Figure 8: Dialog box to quit the program

It is important to keep in mind that if the user wants to close his session or to shut the computer down

it is compulsory to quit the program since otherwise Windows detects that the port is blocked in

reading mode and does not stop running.
