Additional Alternates: Per Part FAR Part 121, a flight could require a takeoff alternate and a second destination alternate in addition to our current alternate capability. You can now add additional alternates to specific flights. You will also be available to view the landing cards for your alternate airports and review and calculate additional settings, if necessary.
Optional features now available in ASAP STAR:
Runway Condition Code (RCC): Can be made available for certain aircraft.
Signature Capture: Users can physically draw signatures onto their devices and have them stored with the flight data. This can be implemented for both weight and balance load sheets, as well as for when a flight is completed.
Flight Assignment: Each flight can be assigned to a username(s) through the ASAP STAR Web. The selected username(s) will then be able to see only their assigned flights on both the iPad and Web STAR versions.
Alternative NOTAM Sources: FAA Pilot-Web (no charge) & ICAO iStars (billed by usage).
Locking Planning Settings Options to Default: Users are now able to set default settings for their specific tail numbers. This prevents human errors that may occur while selecting the aircraft settings for a flight.
Contingency Runways Displayed on TO & Landing Cards: The user can now swipe left or right to switch between runways ran at departure, arrival, or alternate stations. If the user was to select a different runway for departure than previously planned for, the text will display the words “Contingency RWY.”
Selectable Runways: Companies can now OPT-IN to our Selectable Runway feature. It’s aimed at reducing processing times, assisting with frequent flights, and easily showing the user details for their available runways. You can also toggle intersections and details for more simplified views.
Select which flights to download to the iPad: You can now select which flights to download (including multiple at a time) to your iPad. This can save you time by downloading your flight for the day while on an internet connection.
Emergency Return: Emergency Return conditions can be selected while in the planning stages of a flight. It will be marked in orange to stand out and warn the user that “this is for emergency situations only”.
Custom Turn Departure & Approach Procedure Plate: Our highly developed turn procedures are beneficial for obstacle avoidance. They can be designed for specific aircraft types as well as displayed in premium artistic forms.
Default Taxi Fuel: Each tail number can now have a specific default taxi fuel entry.
Valet Bags: The ability to transfer weights from the passenger compartment to the cargo compartment is now available to users.
Dynamic Center of Gravity Limiting Curtailment: STAR will calculate passenger, cargo, and/or in-flight movement’s center of gravity curtailments based on actual loading, NOT the worst-case loading.
Optimal Flaps: Users can choose to run all available flaps, and the program will choose the flap with the highest weight for each runway end.
Emergency Return on TO Card: The user can now swipe up or down to toggle between runways ran for departure and emergency return. If the user needs to return to the departure airport, the text will display the words “Contingency RWY”, and an orange highlight will appear for your selected runway.
Remaining Capacity is shown: You can now click on the max capacity text or weights text to toggle between Max Capacity and Remaining Capacity.
