What action allows you to open a new flight in ALIS?

The action that allows you to open a new flight in the Automated Load Information System (ALIS) is to click on 'New Entry.' This option is specifically designed to prompt users to input relevant details for creating a new flight record.

When you're using ALIS, the purpose of the 'New Entry' option is to enable you to access a form or interface where you can enter all necessary information pertaining to the new flight, such as flight number, origin, destination, and payload details. This functionality is crucial for ensuring that all relevant flight data is captured accurately and efficiently as part of the loading and weight distribution process.

While other choices such as 'Flights,' 'Departures,' and 'Flight Plans' may provide you with various lists or summaries of existing flights or related information, they do not facilitate the creation of a new entry. Only the 'New Entry' option directly leads you to the ability to initiate a new flight entry in the system, making it the correct action.
