EASA FTL Calc

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
