Operations Control Center (OCC) Timeline
The OCC timeline is a unified, gate-to-gate view of your entire flight operation. It shows all phases from ground handling through to arrival, on a single compressed horizontal timeline.
Timeline Layout
Flight Strip (Header)
The top bar shows your flight identity at a glance:
- Callsign — e.g., AIC156
- Route — Origin to Destination with airport names
- Status badge — Current phase (Scheduled, Boarding, Airborne, etc.)
Info Bar
Eight data cells showing key times:
- STD — Scheduled Time of Departure (blocks off)
- ATD — Actual Time of Departure (turns green when available, shows +/- delta)
- Takeoff / Landing — Scheduled or actual, depending on flight phase
- STA / ATA — Scheduled and Actual Time of Arrival
- Flt Time — Scheduled or actual flight duration
- FL — Cruise flight level
The Compressed Timeline
The main timeline bar uses a compressed scale: ground handling and arrival operations are given proportionally more space, while the en-route phase is compressed. This ensures you can see the detailed ground activities clearly, even on long-haul flights.
The timeline is divided into five colour-coded phases:
| Phase | Colour | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ground Ops | Pre-departure handling (fueling, boarding, catering, etc.) | |
| Taxi Out | Pushback and taxi to runway | |
| En Route | Airborne portion of the flight (compressed) | |
| Taxi In | Landing roll and taxi to gate | |
| Arrival | Post-arrival handling (disembarkation, offloading) |
Detail Tracks
Below the phase bar, individual activities are shown on parallel tracks:
- PRE-DEPARTURE — PAX (boarding/doors), CARGO (loading), SVC (fuel/catering/cleaning), DEPT (pushback/taxi)
- EN ROUTE — Flight progress bar showing completion percentage
- POST-ARRIVAL — RAMP (taxi/chocks/doors), PAX (disembarkation), CARGO (offloading)
Milestones & Playhead
Four vertical milestone markers (OFF BLK, T/O, LDG, ON BLK) connect the phase bar to the time axis. They turn green when actual times are recorded. A red playhead animates across the timeline showing current time during live flights.
