Choosing Alternates

The alternates features in the New Flight Planner and Flight Planning tabs enable you to search for and choose alternates to add to your flight plan. If you enter alternates, the primary alternate is included in the flight plan by default. You can add up to four alternates.

In addition, you can refine the routes to your alternates and configure the settings the JetPlan engine uses to calculate fuel along alternate routes.

You can search for alternates in the New Flight Planner tab and add and refine alternates in both the New Flight Planner and Flight Planning tabs.

This chapter contains the following topics: • Understanding Alternates and Settings • Searching for Alternates • Adding Alternates

Understanding Alternates and Settings

By default, the JetPlan engine uses great circle routing to determine the distance and fuel to the alternate. Your organization might have a defined set of alternate routes stored in your customer database. You might refine these settings if required.

The following settings affect the way the JetPlan engine calculates alternate fuel and distance:

Select alternate types in the New Flight Planner tab. Each alternate type is associated Alternate type with specific generic values in the JetPlan database.

The JetPlan engine uses hold time values to calculate a holding fuel amount. The Hold time amount of calculated fuel depends on the data associated with the aircraft in the JetPlan database.

If you add secondary alternates to the flight plan, apply an uplift philosophy to include more than one alternate airport when the JetPlan engine calculates alternate fuel requirements. The alternate that requires the most fuel becomes the critical fuel Uplift philosophy calculation alternate. If you apply an uplift philosophy, the difference between the (JAROPS) highest fuel requirement and the primary alternate fuel requirement appears in the XTR row in the FUEL column in the generated flight plan, depending on your flight plan format.

Use the features in the New Flight Planner tab to search for alternates. To search for an alternate airport, you must first enter an arrival (destination) airport.

To search for an alternate airport: 1. Locate the Advanced Airport Selection section. 2. Click the Alternate Search link. The application displays an alternate search form. [Figure 7-1]

Figure 7-1. Alternate Search Form

3. If necessary, enter the following criteria to refine the search: a. A maximum distance from the arrival airport. b. A minimum runway length. c. The maximum number of search results the system should display. 4. Click Find Alternates. The results window displays the alternate airports that match the criteria. [Figure 7-2]

Figure 7-2. Alternate Search Results

NOTE To view weather information for an alternate, select . To view airport information for an alternate, select .

5. In the Select column, check the corresponding alternate box. 6. Click Submit to add the alternate to the flight plan.

You can add and refine alternates in both the New Flight Planner and Flight Planning tabs. Adding Alternates in the New Flight Planner Tab

Use the Alternate section of the New Flight Planner tab to define your alternate airports and settings. This section provides the following shortcuts to aid you in locating alternates.

To add an alternate airport: 1. Locate the Alternate section. 2. Select the alternate Type. For information about alternate types, see the Choosing Alternate Types section. 3. Enter the appropriate values or choose the appropriate options that the system displays.

Choosing Alternate Types

Depending on the route type you select in the Alternate section, the New Flight Planner displays different options. Select one of the following alternate types: • No Alternate • Standard • Specified Distance • Great Circle • Customer Route • Enroute Alternate • Exemption No Alternate

If your organization does not require an alternate, you can leave the default “No Alternate” selection in the Type field. The system requests no additional values and displays no additional options. [Figure 7-4]

Figure 7-4. Providing No Alternates

Standard Alternate

If you add a standard alternate, the JetPlan engine calculates time and fuel based on your organization’s alternate database record. If your organization has no alternate database record, the JetPlan engine calculates time and fuel based on a standard model, which factors in long range cruise, great circle route, and optimum flight level.

To add a Standard alternate:

1. In the Type field, select Standard. [Figure 7-5]

2. In the Airport field, type a four- character ICAO or three-character IATA code for the alternate airport.

3. Choose Uplift Philosophy Figure 7-5. Selecting a Standard Alternate (JAROPS) ON or Uplift Philosophy (JAROPS) OFF.

If you add a specified distances alternate, you must enter the distance value from the POA to the alternate airport. The distance value you enter overrides the stored distance or stored route-based computation in the generic alternate file.

To add a Specified Distance alternate:

1. In the Type field, select Specified Distance. [Figure 7-6]

2. In the Airport field, type a four- character ICAO or three-character IATA code for the alternate airport.

3. In the Distance field, enter a distance value from the POA to the alternate airport. 4. Choose Uplift Philosophy Figure 7-6. Selecting a Specified Distance Alternate (JAROPS) ON or Uplift Philosophy (JAROPS) OFF.

Adding a Great Circle Alternate

By default, the JetPlan engine refers to your organization’s alternate database to calculate alternate routing. This option sets the JetPlan engine to ignore your organization’s alternate settings and use the standard model, which is long range cruise, great circle route, and optimum flight level.

To add a Great Circle alternate:

1. In the Type field, select Great Circle. [Figure 7-7]

2. In the Airport field, type a four- character ICAO or three-character IATA code for the alternate airport.

3. Choose Uplift Philosophy (JAROPS) ON or Uplift Philosophy (JAROPS) OFF. Figure 7-7. Selecting a Great Circle Alternate

Adding a Customer Route Alternate

If you add a customer route alternate, the alternate route must already be stored in your route database. The values associated with the route you select override the stored distance or stored route- based computation in the generic alternate file.

To add a Customer Route alternate:

1. In the Type field, select Customer Route. [Figure 7-8]

2. In the Airport field, type a four- character ICAO or three-character IATA code for the alternate airport.

3. In the Route Name file, enter the name of the route. 4. Choose Uplift Philosophy (JAROPS) ON or Uplift Philosophy Figure 7-8. Selecting a Customer Route Alternate (JAROPS) OFF.

Adding an Enroute Alternate

The JAROPS Enroute option applies to users with specific output formats only. The format must be capable of displaying enroute alternate information in the flight plan output. You can select only one JAROPS Enroute airport.

To add an Enroute alternate:

1. In the Type field, select Enroute Alternate. [Figure 7-9]

2. In the Airport field, type a four- character ICAO or three-character IATA code for the alternate airport.

3. Choose Uplift Philosophy (JAROPS) ON or Uplift Philosophy (JAROPS) OFF. Figure 7-9. Selecting an Enroute Alternate

For some flights, you might need to indicate that a special exemption allows you not to specify an alternate. The information that appears on the flight plan is format-specific and can vary by organization.

To add an Exemption alternate, select Exemption in the Type field. [Figure 7-10]

Figure 7-10. Selecting Exemption

Adding Alternates in the Flight Planning Tab

Use the Profile section to work with speeds and levels. [Figure 9-3]

Figure 9-3. Profile Section in the New Flight Planner Tab Applying Altitude Profiles

Applying different altitude profiles to your flight plan changes the amount of fuel in the calculations. For example, you can set JetPlan.com to calculate a flight plan in which the aircraft must be at a specific altitude by a specific checkpoint and for a specific range somewhere along the route of flight. The calculations for such a flight plan are different than calculations for a flight plan in which JetPlan.com optimizes flight levels or maintains a fixed flight level throughout the flight.

To determine a profile for a flight plan, select a combination of flight level inputs that define the flight levels (for example, at, attain, between, and optimize), the altitudes, and checkpoint location.

Follow your organization’s instructions for meeting critical flight requirements when you are defining speeds and levels. Applying Altitude Profiles in the Flight Planning Tab

To define speed and levels: 1. Access the Advanced > Speed & Levels window. 2. In the Cruise section, set the Primary Cruise speed if it is not already defined. The JetPlan engine obtains this information from the values you set in the flight plan in the Standard window. 3. In the Altitude Profile section: a. Click the appropriate checkpoint option. For information, see the Selecting Checkpoint Options section. b. Enter the appropriate values. 4. Click Generate Flight Plan.

Selecting Checkpoint Options

Use the With Checkpoints or Without Checkpoints options to define the altitude profile.

Calculating Payload and Fuel

The fuel and payload features in the New Flight Planner and Flight Planning tabs enable you to refine payload and fuel settings in your flight plan. If you are using the Flight Planning applet, access payload and fuel information from the Advanced tab.

This chapter contains the following topics: • Accessing Payload & Fuel Information • Adjusting Payload • Adjusting Fuel

Accessing Payload & Fuel Information

Depending on whether you are using the Flight Planning tab or the New Flight Planner tab, you access payload and fuel information differently. Accessing Payload & Fuel in the Flight Planning Tab

Use the Payload & Fuel window in the Flight Planning—Advanced window to refine payload and fuel settings in your flight plan.

To open the Payload & Fuel window: 1. From the JetPlan.com main page, click the Flight Planning tab. 2. Click Advanced to open the Advanced tab. 3. Click GO in the Payload & Fuel row. The applet displays the Advanced > Payload & Fuel window. [Figure 10-1]

Figure 10-1. Advanced > Payload & Fuel Window

Figure 10-2. Fuel and Payload Case Section

Access reserves settings in the Fuel Reserve Policy section. [Figure 10-3]

Figure 10-3. Fuel Reserve Policy Section

Adjusting Payload

The payload scenarios in both the Flight Planning and New Flight Planner tabs enable you to plan different methods of maximizing payload or fuel. The JetPlan engine uses the parameters you set to adjust the calculation method accordingly. Adjusting Payload in the Flight Planning Tab

Enter the appropriate values in the Payload and Fuel section in the Flight Planning—Advanced window to plan fuel, payload, weight, reserves, and maximum fuel scenarios. JetPlan.com uses these settings to calculate the relationships among the various load factors and flight performance scenarios in the flight plan. For example, if the aircraft requires a specific fuel weight on board upon landing, select a scenario that defines the fuel weight the aircraft must have on board. JetPlan.com factors the scenario and values that you define into the route calculations.

For each scenario, the weight of the payload must fall within the defined limits for the aircraft.

In cases when plan calculation exceeds a weight limit or fuel capacity limit, an autoweight feature recalculates the plan using a reduced weight value. The system continues to iterate the value down until it eliminates the error or the value reaches zero. Typically, the autoweight process adjusts the payload or fuel weight (depending on the scenario) until it determines a viable solution to the excess weight problem. You can use the autoweight feature in combination with any payload or fuel scenario.

To configure payload scenarios: 1. In the Advanced > Fuel & Payload window, choose a unit of measure (Lbs or Kilos).

NOTE The JetPlan engine uses this unit of measure as a default. If you change this unit in another entry, such as in a bias, that change affects the measurements here and impacts your flight plan calculations.

2. Choose one of the Payload Scenarios. For information about payload scenarios, see the Defining Payload Scenarios in the Flight Planning Tab section. 3. Enter the appropriate values.

NOTE Entering MAX in the value field instructs the JetPlan engine to calculate the flight plan using the maximum value in the aircraft database for the selected option.

JetPlan.com User Guide © 2011 Jeppesen, All Rights Reserved 116 Proprietary and Confidential 4. If necessary, enter new weight values in the following fields in the Aircraft Database Overrides section to override the default values: • Take-off Weight • Landing Weight • Operational Weight • Fuel Capacity Your override values must be valid and fall within the absolute limits in the aircraft's generic file. For example, you might use these overrides if an outside factor such as weather or runway contamination impacts take-off and landing performance. 5. Select Generate Flight Plan. Defining Payload Scenarios in the Flight Planning Tab

Depending on the payload scenario you select in the Fuel & Payload window, the Flight Planning applet requires different values. Select one of the following payload scenarios: • Maximize fuel uplift • Maximize payload (fuel) • Maximize payload (weight) • Determine payload

Maximize Fuel Uplift

This scenario sets the JetPlan engine to calculate the maximum fuel possible for the flight based on a given payload and a specific gross weight. Select this scenario when you know the payload and the departure or arrival weight values. [Figure 10-4]

Figure 10-4. Maximize Fuel Uplift Scenario

To maximize fuel uplift: 1. In the Advanced > Payload & Fuel window, select Known payload, known Departure/ Arrival weight, maximize fuel uplift. 2. In the Payload (enter amt.) field, enter a valid payload weight. 3. In the Weight (enter amt. or “MAX”) field, enter a valid gross weight value. 4. Choose Departure (take-off weight) or Arrival (landing weight).

Maximize Payload (Fuel)

This scenario sets the JetPlan engine to calculate the maximum payload the aircraft can carry based on a given departure fuel amount. Select this scenario when you know the departure fuel weight. [Figure 10-5]

Figure 10-5. Maximize Payload (Fuel) Scenario

To maximize payload (fuel): 1. In the Advanced > Payload & Fuel window, select Maximize payload, known Departure fuel. 2. In the Fuel (enter amt. or “MAX”) field, enter a valid departure fuel weight.

Maximize Payload (Weight)

This scenario sets the JetPlan engine to calculate the maximum payload possible for the flight based on a given departure or arrival weight. Select this scenario when you know the departure (or arrival) weight. [Figure 10-6]

Figure 10-6. Maximize Payload (Weight) Scenario

To maximize payload (weight): 1. In the Advanced > Payload & Fuel window, select Maximize payload, known Departure/ Arrival weight. 2. In the Weight (enter amt. or “MAX”) field, enter a valid gross weight. 3. Choose Departure (take-off weight) or Arrival (landing weight).

This scenario sets the JetPlan engine to calculate a payload for the flight based on a given zero fuel weight (ZFW) and a specific departure or arrival fuel amount. Select this scenario when you know the zero fuel weight (ZFW) and the departure or arrival fuel values. [Figure 10-7]

Figure 10-7. Determine Payload Scenario

To determine payload: 1. In the Advanced > Payload & Fuel window, select Determine payload, known Zero-Fuel Weight (ZFW), known Departure/Arrival fuel. 2. In the ZFW (enter amt. or “MAX”) field, enter a valid ZFW. 3. In the Fuel (enter amt. or “MAX”) field, enter a valid fuel weight. 4. Choose Departure (take-off fuel) or Arrival (landing fuel).

Adjusting Payload in the New Flight Planner Tab

The values in the Fuel and Payload Case section configure fuel, payload, weight, reserves, and maximum fuel scenarios. JetPlan.com uses these settings to calculate the relationships among the various load factors and flight performance cases in the flight plan. For example, if the aircraft must have a specific fuel weight on board upon landing, select an arrival fuel case and define the fuel weight the aircraft must have on board. JetPlan.com factors the case and values you define into the route calculations.

For each case, the weight of the payload must fall within the defined limits for the aircraft. Depending on the case you select in the Fuel and Payload Case section, the New Flight Planner displays different options.

In cases when plan calculation exceeds a weight limit or fuel capacity limit, an automatic weight- reduction feature recalculates the plan using a reduced weight value. The system continues to iterate the value down until it eliminates the error or the value reaches zero. Typically, the autoweight process adjusts the payload or fuel weight (depending on the scenario) until it determines a viable solution to the excess weight problem. You can use the autoweight feature in combination with any payload or fuel scenario.
