2. USER INTERFACE – GENERAL PRESENTATION
SYSTEMS
The interface is composed of the following frames:
Aircraft frame: Displays information regarding aircraft selection made on welcome page (given
for information only).
. 1 and 2 Departure frame (Shortcut <F2>): Allows selecting the departure airport.
. 3 Configuration frame (Shortcut <F3>): Allows defining the aircraft configuration
before loading payload and fuel.
. 4 Loading frame (Shortcut <F4>): Enables to load the aircraft. This frame fulfils all
the tasks of a conventional load sheet.
. 5 Inop Item (Shortcut <F5>) This function is not available at this version.
. 6 Payload distribution (Shortcut <F6>) and Fuel distribution (Shortcut <F7>):
Enables to visualize or define passenger, cargo and fuel distribution
. 7 Results frame: Presentation of results (numerically and graphically).
