Use Schedule block to make an aircraft unavailable for planning during a specific period.

What the list shows

Each schedule block row includes:

  • activation status
  • start
  • end
  • recurring indicator
  • reason

Creating or editing a schedule block

A block can include:

  • Block activated
  • From
  • To
  • Recurring
  • Until
  • Reason

Recurring logic

Blocks can be configured as:

  • one-time
  • daily
  • weekly

Weekly blocks also require a weekday. Recurring blocks require an end date.

Conflict checks

When you change the start or end date, the form checks for booking conflicts. This helps you understand scheduling impact before saving the block.

Relationship with defects

Severe defects can also create or manage schedule blocks directly from the defect detail panel. That is particularly relevant for Grounded or AOG cases.

Typical use cases

  • planned maintenance
  • temporary unavailability
  • technical grounding
  • recurring operational restrictions
