Description
EASA-compliant Duty Log for cockpit & cabin: Smartly calculates FDP, duty & rest times, flags violations, and ensures compliance – including rule interpretations.
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

What’s New
Version 2.6.7
Handling of Imported Actual Times
- the Flights tab (Cockpit - Cabin - Flights) previously displayed actual on-block times for informational purposes only
- now, modifying the last actual on-block time of a duty day will trigger a recalculation, including an adjustment to the check-out time
Built-In Import API
- added the option to import existing check-in and check-out times, or
- to calculate the check-in and check-out times using the import defaults
Reduced Rest
- added a distinction between "Below Minimum Rest" and "Below Reduced Rest"
- added "Check Commander's Discretion" info
- "Below Reduced Rest" is highlighted red
- "Below Minimum Rest" is highlighted orange, or green in the case of a "Planned Reduced Rest" (AF)
- new preferences entry to activate "Planned Reduced Rest" rules (AF)
Travelling Time
- added a new preference option to customize how travel time exceeding 30 minutes is handled:
- a: It only increases the 10-hour minimum rest period
- b: It also increases a minimum rest period of more than 10 hours (caused by the preceding duty)
Code Modernization
- background activity is reduced to a minimum and handled more efficiently based on the situation
- modern iPad scene management for iPadOS has been integrated
- adjustments to ensure compatibility with evolving iOS standards and improve overall performance
Design
- the top navigation bar has become lighter in in dark color scheme to draw more attention to the "swipe down to close" gesture
- started to modernize about 180 html files of info text, including optimization of loading and display processes
Fixed
Resolved an issue with time zone saving in "Prefs"-"Home Base" caused by an incompatibility between Objective-C and Swift
Synchronization Of Preferences Values
- enhanced synchronization to reduce unnecessary adjustments
- disabled synchronization when the app is in the background to reduce battery consumption during inactivity
- added a secondary synchronization method (beta) to make synchronization with a privately distributed MDM-version of the app possible
Preparation for Private MDM (Mobile Device Management) Distribution
- a separate private app version can be created specifically for distribution within an airline
- implemented cross-device synchronization (beta) between the App Store and private versions for testing, subject to MDM permissions
- added a new beta entry in "Prefs"-"Maintenance" to monitor synchronization, ensuring reliable performance and easier troubleshooting
Ratings and Reviews
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.
