How The History Page Works

The History page contains a summary of tracks created across your fleet.

The flight summary table on the History Page enables you to:

• Review the activity history of visible aircraft over a period of time.
• Export tracking information - summaries, KML files and raw data.
• Drill into the Flight Report and 3D Flight Replays of historic flights.

The History page table contains the following fields:

1	Aircraft Registration.
2	Flight ID (assigned by the Spider).
3	Start Time and Date the flight took place (time zone managed under user profile).
4	Duration of the track.
5	Distance covered within the track.
6	SOS Status.
7	3D Replay link (or status).
8	Engine On
9	Blocks Off
10	Take Off
11	Landing
12	Blocks On
13	Engine Off
14	Starts
15	Landings
16	Engine Time (hrs)
17	Blocks Time (hrs)
18	Air Time (hrs)

Please see Spider X - What Are Digital Flight Logs for more information.

Applying Filters

Several filters can be applied to the flight summary table to assist with identifying the subset of flights of interest. 

1	Filter by date range	Click in the date box and specify start and end dates. Default is 3 months.
2	Filter by aircraft	Multi-select the group of aircraft of interest. Default is all visible aircraft.
3	Filter short tracks	Hides tracks with zero duration (0 minutes; only one point).
4	Filter static tracks	Hides tracks with insignificant total distance traveled.
5	Filter by SOS status	Select to filter by tracks with Active or Closed SOS.

Individual filters can be removed by clicking 'Reset' within the filter. All filters can be reset by selecting 'Clear Filters' button. 

 

Viewing Flight Reports

To view a single flight, click on the row of interest. This will take you to the Flight Report page, where you can review the track on a map, the track events in a timeline, and aircraft flight parameters in a chart.

To view multiple flights, (1) Select multiple rows (max 5 at once), then click on (A) View Flights. 

See History - Flight Report for more information on the Flight Report feature.

When any flights are selected, a summary of count, total distance and total time will be displayed at the top of the table.

Viewing 3D Flight Replays

A Play button is shown in the 3D Replay column when all 3D data for a flight is available and ready to be viewed. Clicking the Play button will launch the 3D viewer in a new pop-up window and replay will start automatically. 

 

Within the pop-up map window, you will be able to move your viewpoint as the aircraft is flying. This can be done by holding your left mouse button and dragging the mouse to your desired view.

Key details and controls for the flight replay include:

 

1	Play/Pause	Allows the viewer to play or pause the flight replay.
2	Speed slider	Determines the speed (relative to real-time) the flight will be replayed at.
3	Duration	The total duration of the selected replay.
4	Aircraft model	This is determined by the type set under the Aircraft and Spider settings page.

 

What if the Play button is not available?

If the required flight data is not yet available, this is indicated with the following statuses:

1	In Review	All 3D data has been uploaded but it has been flagged as not suitable for display. Our team will review themes with a view to minimising these cases.
2	Incomplete	Some 3D data has been uploaded, but some are outstanding. The Spider X will continue uploading the remaining data when it next has power and a cellular signal.
3	Not available	Data has not yet been uploaded for this flight. NOTE only Spider X can support 3D Replay; all earlier Spiders will always show Not Available.

Downloading Flights

A link to Download information about any selected flight(s) is displayed at the top of the table.

Thee download options are provided:

1	CSV summary file	Exports the values shown in the flight summary table (for selected rows), enabling this information to be conveniently incorporated into business operations and reporting.
2	CSV detail file	Exports position and event data for a flight as used to create the flight track in the Flight Report map view. Format is CSV.
3	KML file	Exports position and event  data in an open file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth.

The limit per download is 200 flights.  

 

Deleting Flights

A link to Delete any selected flight(s) is displayed at the top of the table.

If you are an Administrator for your organisation, deleting a flight will delete it for all members of your organisation. 

If you are not an administrator, the flight will only be deleted from your account. Other members that had visibility of this track will continue to do so.
