About

MY FTL

Features
Read full description

MY FTL is a CAD 1901 flight time limitation calculator for Malaysian flight deck crews, built around the way a duty actually unfolds. WHAT IT DOES β€’ Maximum FDP from CAD 1901 Tables A and B, with the calculation basis stated on every result (table, time band or rest row, sector count) β€’ Standby call-outs per Β§2.9: airport standby, home standby, the 2200-0800 short-notice exception, and the 6-hour standby credit β€” with the more limiting time band applied automatically β€’ Two-pilot long range operations (Β§2.11), including the combinations the directive does not permit β€” the app tells you instead of guessing β€’ Augmented crew in-flight relief (Β§2.12), bunk or seat, with the 18 h / 15 h caps applied β€’ The Disruption Wizard: enter the sectors still to fly (including diversions, flown or pending) and read the latest off-blocks time for every remaining sector, standard and with commander's discretion (Β§2.15.2), in local time and Zulu with day markers β€’ A live countdown to the latest ETD when the duty is today β€” computed from UTC, so it is correct offline, in flight, and in any phone time zone β€’ Inputs are validated against the directive (12-hour standby limit, Β§2.11.1 restrictions) β€” when a combination is not permitted, the app says so and cites the paragraph β€’ Everything survives switching apps: your inputs are saved on the device and restored exactly where you left off β€’ The full CAD 1901 is bundled, with bookmarks to the paragraphs the results cite β€’ Works completely offline. No account, no analytics, no data leaves your phone. MY FTL is a reference tool. The pilot in command remains responsible for all flight time limitation decisions; always verify against CAD 1901 and your operator's approved scheme.
