Simulator OOS Notification Form

Background

Flight Safety International, a leading aviation training company, provides top-tier educational experiences blending classroom instruction with advanced flight simulation.
‍
Flight Safety’s Atlanta Learning Center houses and maintains several flight simulators. Prompt communication regarding simulator maintenance is crucial, and multiple stakeholders including technicians and simulator users are to be notified when a simulator is out of service.

Previously, issuing Simulator Out Of Service notifications was a manual process requiring gathering of simulator details, getting a list of email addresses, and adherence to a notification format template. I was commissioned to create a more efficient and convenient method for drafting and sending these notification emails.

Final Product

The finished product is a set of HTML files and a CSS file, all shared and accessible through the Atlanta Training Center’s local network. To send an out of service notification, a user only needs to open the Simulator Selection Page, select which simulator they would like to report, and fill out the form for that simulator. Upon clicking submit, the page will check that all necessary information has been entered. An email is then automatically opened and filled out using the form responses in the proper format. The recipients and subject line are also automatically entered based on which simulator was selected.

This method for sending an OOS notification eliminates the need for the user to manually search for and input the correct list of recipient email addresses, the job number, and the simulator's name and number. It also saves time and reduces errors by checking for the inclusion of necessary information then automatically populating and formatting the email.

Simulator Selection Page

This page contains a button for each simulator housed at the Atlanta Learning Center. When a user selects a simulator, they are linked to the appropriate Notification Form for that simulator.

Notification Form

After all required fields are filled and the Submit button is pressed, the default email application on the user's device is opened. There, a Simulator Out of Service email is automatically drafted with the appropriate recipients, subject line, and body text.
