Sorry but you DO NOT require the CAA's approval to use a computer system. You do need to have all the answers when queries from them arise
Wanderlust only wants a programme to keep track of 7/14/28 day running totals. The rest of day to day crewing/ops should be managed by any competent person, who should be aware of what duties etc the crew have operated and whether level 1/2/3 variation, acclimatised un-acclimatised fdp used etc etc.
So to answer Wanderlust, yes I can help with a simple spreadsheet programme, that the CAA where happy to accept. It is so simple it beggers belief

e-mail for more info.
Oh & RDi not all systems cost a fortune. I know of one that is used by International schedule carrier & UK charter to great effect.
