Setting up the Flight Risk Interface

Setting up the Flight Risk Interface

To set up the Flight Risk interface, credentials must be obtained from Polaris Aero at: vocus_help@polarisaero.com

1. Once the credentials are obtained, they must be entered on the Interfaces - Applications tab within company data. The following options may be selected when setting up the interface.
  1. Flight Risk - This allows users to run flight risk assessments within FOS trips and FOS Mobile.
  2. FOS Trip Replication to Flight Risk - This option enables FOS to automatically send trips to the Flight Risk interface. It is a required checkbox for the integration to function.
  3. Use Credentials from Trip/Quote Company - This option allows FOS to use the credentials for the company assigned to the Trip/Quote when launching Flight Risk, rather than the company assigned to the FOS User profile. You will notice only the primary company has these extra fields; secondary companies can still hold credentials but will not have permission checkboxes. All permissions come from the primary company settings.
  4. Crew Duty Replication to Flight Risk - This option will allow users to send additional crew duty information that can be used for duty / fatigue analysis within Flight Risk. For more information about the new functionality, please contact techsupport@flightrisk.com.


2. Verify the Trip Request Aircraft checkbox with each aircraft record is not marked. The aircraft data will not be sent to Flight Risk with this checkbox marked.


3. Enable the "Sync with Flight Risk" checkbox at the bottom of the Desc tab of each tail that you would like to include in the integration. Information will now only be transmitted if the aircraft is marked to sync with Flight Risk.


4. Select the utilities drop down from the FOS main menu and open the interface manager. When the interface manager opens, select the Flight Risk tab, and select Update Flight Risk.


5. When the update completes reach back out to the representative that provided the credentials and advise them that the initial replication has been completed. This is required as the Polaris team will need to ensure there are no duplicate user accounts prior to using the integration within FOS. If the duplicates are not removed before the integration it is possible information may be lost when they are removed at a later time. 

Once any duplicate users have been removed the integration may be used within FOS and FOS Mobile.

Utilization from within FOS:
Within the leg of a trip, you are able to generate a Flight Risk analysis. Simply click on the Flight Risk button at the bottom of the leg not book, the Flight Risk's website will launch with the leg information already populated from FOS. Click on the "run" button. For further support on functionality once on the Flight Risk site, please reach out to the vendor.
