Over the past two years we have put in a lot of commitment in Leon Sales, transforming it into a high-powered toolset for quote management. It is a great moment to test its viability in comparison with other potential options. However, the RouteFinder option currently does not require any additional subscriptions (other than Leon) and is available by default to every user.

In order to use Aviapages’ flight time calculations, Leon user should have an active subscription with Aviapages. With both integrations, you can also arbitrarily take into consideration possible exclusion zones. Due to airplanes’ distinct parameters, both integrations are required to support certain aircraft included in the calculation, with Aviapages and RouterFinder currently having over 100 aircraft types supported. Some restrictions may apply when using integrated calculations as well. The accuracy of both Aviapages’ and RouteFinder’s dedicated tools is enhanced by taking into consideration their own precise aircraft performance models and potential airway distance, additionally affected by their winds datasets. If built-in solutions do not cover the scope of the quotation, you might consider taking an in-depth look at our two integrations that may provide even more accurate results by applying different factors. For a more detailed overview of the advanced performance model, we have prepared another two articles dedicated to the subject - Calculate Fleet’s arrivals precisely with new Performance settings and Flight time calculations have been upgraded with new winds dataset. It works great for both short range and long haul flights, estimating the flight time by employing different distance thresholds, with their specific distance and time data required for reaching the cruising altitude by an aircraft. Introduced in 2019 in its advanced version as a part of a revamped fleet configuration in Leon, it provides a precise setting for each tail in the database, based on Great Circle Distance, winds dataset and speed profiles. Because of that, on very frequent routes the accuracy of calculations tends to increase significantly.Ī screen showing four available types of Flight Time calculations for a particular route, based on four different algorithms.Īircraft Performance Model is another option to calculate the flight time, many users are already quite familiar with. The algorithm takes into account all flight times available in Leon over the course of the last 4 years, using data from across all operators. The provided outcome includes information about a number of flights taken into consideration, as well as a maximum deviation from the calculated time. On a basis of a selected aircraft type and the available data, you can estimate the flight time on a given route as an average of a minimum of 4 flights scheduled closest to the date of the flight. The first possible way of dealing with flight time calculations in Leon is probably the most straightforward one.

Historical Flight Times & Aircraft Performance Model However, we can still facilitate the process by introducing a number of tools that automate the calculations and speed up the sales pipeline quite a bit. As weather conditions may vary, flight delays cannot be ruled out as well. There is no one perfect solution to delivering a super accurate quotation.
