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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MY FTL at none against Pilot Logbook's 2. Pilot Logbook's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 4 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
