Solutions brought by Skylegs Flight Time Limitations platform

The benefits of using Skylegs FTL calculation are countless. These are some of them:

Automation

Skylegs is a specialised Flight Time Limitations platform. It automatically calculates the limitations according to your Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) regulation or the company’s Operations Manual. It takes into account all crew duties: flight duties, positioning (reallocation), office duties and any other duty activity which is not related to a flight. If there is any exceedance, the system immediately warns the operations department, so that they can adjust the schedule accordingly.

Crew duty reports

You can generate and download full reports from Skylegs in different formats (PDF and Excel). And it is possible to access future and past reports any time. Skylegs keeps the data indefinitely.

Reporting time

You may configure different crew reporting times (sign-in and sign-out times) depending on the flight category, aircraft, airport and other elements. Besides that, to allow even more flexibility, you can manually adjust the reporting time during flight preparation or after the flight.

Types of duties and schemes

Skylegs detects flight duties, normal duties and rest periods. Additionally, it chooses the correct scheme, such as extension, split duty, in-flight rest, rest reduction and others, in order to achieve a crew roster without violations. Thus, little or no intervention from the user is necessary. However, if required, you can manually indicate the following scenarios: the end of a duty period, provision of suitable accommodations and if there is enlarged or double crew.

FTL violations and warnings

When there is an FTL violation, Skylegs shows warnings so that the responsible people are aware and can adjust the schedule. The warnings are visible from the dashboard (the initial page of Skylegs), from the schedule, inside the missions and quotes, and from the crew duty reports. Besides that, if there is any violation after the flight completion, the system sends a notification via email to the relevant department.

Adequate fatigue risk management

With Skylegs, your organisation is able to adequately manage fatigue. Fatigue management is a method of assessing and acting upon safety outcomes related to fatigue. You may choose to implement a meticulous Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS), which allows you to make a more effective use of resources, increase flexibility and ultimately, improve the safety level of the operations. FRMS is possible with the integration between Skylegs and Pulsar Informatics. Alternatively, you can opt for a simpler fatigue risk management by using the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale.
