Field notes
Notes from reporting cycles
Practical pieces on block hours, MEL evidence, typhoon weeks, and the small definition fights that decide whether a pack survives Monday.
-
Why turnaround definitions decide your utilization chart
If ops and scheduling disagree on when a turn starts, fleet performance analytics will quietly invent a conflict that neither team meant.
-
Building an AOG timeline a lessor will actually read
Lessor packs fail when AOG narratives jump from hangar folklore to flight cancellations without a spine. Here is a spine that survives scrutiny.
-
Typhoon weeks need a different ops narrative
Treating a typhoon week like a quiet March month produces board packs that look tidy and explain nothing. Change the frame before you change the charts.
-
What belongs in a Monday fleet brief — and what does not
Monday ops tables drown when every chart from the month is invited. A fleet performance pack should arrive already curated for the decisions of that week.
