FTL record keeping software
 

HI all,
Anyone any suggestions for a reasonably priced software package for tracking ftl hours. We are a small charter operation with an eye on costs !
Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Keep it manual then.

Great way to keep everyone up to speed with the limitations.

No cost at all.

thank you
 

cheers bored.
I had thought of that one myself.

No sarcasm was intended on my part.

If you wish a programme to keep track of hours for your crew and are a small charter carrier, it will have to be CAA approved if used for record keeping.

If you wish an FTL calculator, that's a different kettle of fish.

edit: that damn typo.

Assuming that..
 

....we are in the UK !

No offence taken. I just need tracking and record keeping software for duty times and thought you sages on this section of pprune would be able to suggest something.

cheers

just......

typos,,agreed.......

You can put together an Excel spreadsheet, which as long as it follows the guideline and your FOI is happy, works a treat.

I does not have to be all singing all dancing, just correct

FTL Software
 

There is a new company just started who mail-shot last week.

One Track Software

Their systems are aimed at the bizjet market, rather than airline, so no massive hardware costs, just stick it on your pc. They're offering a stand-alone crewing program if you don't want to go the whole hog and ditch your spreadsheets!

On the CAA approved software question...I don't think any software needs to be 'approved' as such, as it's only record keeping and so no different to spreadsheets or pen & paper. As long as your FOI gets to see the end result, on printed pages, I wouldn't have thought he'd care how it was tracked...as long as it was correct.

In fact, I would have thought that going computerised would help with the company Quality Systems so your FOI would probably give any software based tracking method the thumbs up

FTLs and stuff
 

Hi JWYT
Still looking for low cost FTL software?

Xcell not accepted by GCAA
 

One problem, that the GCAA would not accept is the ability to go back and rewrite data... They are paranoid about exceedences.

They are also very sarcastic.
