EASA OPS Rules for Flight Time Limitations (FTL) are valid since 18.02.2016. EASA FTL Calc helps you to calculate - cockpit and cabin limits - actual and maximum flight duty periods (FDP) - latest on-block times - duty periods (DP) - actual and minimum rest times - state of acclimatization - commanders discretion - disruptive schedules - required local nights at your home base - extended recovery rest periods - cumulative duties for 7/14/28 days It considers - standby and airport standby - extension of cabin FDP due to earlier reporting time - delayed reporting - in-flight rest for cockpit and cabin (different rules) - split duty - extension - positioning - time zone differences - company minimum rest times - your home base - "back to back" operation You don't have to know time zones - simply select an airport from the database - time zone is determined by airport and date - select only reporting airport of first duty day - and the resting airport per duty day - next reporting airport will be your last resting airport - your home base will be known (preferences) It's not a flight log - you don't have to enter every single block time - no management of block times and their cumulative limits - however imported flights can be shown for information Cabin and cockpit limits - may have different reporting times - in-flight rest is different - are calculated independently Rotations - are stored automatically - are shown in an own table - with FDPs and rest times overview - for cockpit and cabin - on iPad in a split view XML Import - Rosters of BA only Roster Buster Import - direct import - calendar import Direct App Import - MyRoster for crew by Lumabyte - RosterworX - NASImport Calendar Import
Perfect app for the job!
The app might seem a little confusing at the beginning but once you get a good grasp on the prompts and features, all would be fine. Everything needed for a precise and conclusive FTL calculation is ready and at arm’s reach. Every little crook and carney is thought out. There were some issues with time zones in previous builds but the devs do present great and timely support for both the database and the app itself.
Precise and problem solving
This app is a little confusing when you first begin to use it but then it is really good and precise. This matter is complicated in nature so probably it will never be a simple solution. The import option on duty times is a lifesaver... I recommend this for all EASA pilots who want to keep track of duty limits.
Dazed and confused
This app is way too confusing. Don’t waste your money or time.
Sleep Awake Score With GM5 CS FTL.1.205(a)(2) a new concept of "Appropriate Fatigue Risk Management" was created. A calculation of the "Sleep-Wake Score" has been added under the "More" menu item. Minimum Rest At Home Base The special case in which all flight duties were changed to positioning flights was included in the calculation. Code Modernization, minor corrections
