SB007/14   
  SUBJECT: AUTO COST INDEXES
  WHEN PLANNING A COST INDEX, 2 OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE. PILOTS MAY
  EITHER SELECT A SPECIFIC COST INDEX NUMBER FROM THE LIST, OR THEY
  MAY SELECT "AUTO". WHEN PLANNING AN "AUTO" COST INDEX, THE SYSTEM
  WILL REFERENCE THE SCHEDULED "TIME ENROUTE" OPTION AND ATTEMPT TO
  CHOOSE A COST INDEX WHICH CLOSELY MATCHES THIS VALUE. NOTE THAT
  THE "TIME ENROUTE" OPTION IS MEANT AS A GATE TO GATE TIME (AS
  INDICATED ON AN AIRLINE'S FLIGHT SCHEDULE, FOR EXAMPLE). IF A
  "TIME ENROUTE" OF 2:30 IS SELECTED, THE SYSTEM WILL SUBTRACT THE
  TAXI TIMES FROM THIS VALUE TO DETERMINE THE SCHEDULED AIR TIME. IT
  WILL THEN DETERMINE AND USE THE COST INDEX WHICH MATCHES THIS AIR
  TIME.

SB003/13   
  SUBJECT: FLIGHT RELEASE UNITS
  ALL FLIGHT CREW: PLEASE PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE UNITS
  SELECTION WHEN GENERATING A FLIGHT PLAN. FAILURE TO IDENTIFY THE
  CORRECT UNITS WHEN REFUELING PRIOR TO FLIGHT CAN RESULT IN
  DEPARTING WITH INSUFFICIENT FUEL AND/OR AN ERRONEOUS PAYLOAD.
