This App is approaching a full stop landing February 2016 with the launch of the new EASA FTLs. Until then it is available for free. My new app 'EASA vs Airline FTL' has hit the app store. It has been rewritten from scratch, it's universal (now for iPad too!) with many major improvements. It also supports EU-OPS, so it is of use for you from now on. Please read about details there. Please click on the developer's name (Alexander Flohr) or search for 'EASA vs Airline' Thank you for using my EU-OPS apps until now, they will continue to be supported until April/2016.

Plan flight duty with clear times and controls. Simple FTL Calculator helps flight crew and operations teams estimate maximum flight duty periods (FDP) and plan target off-block times. • Calculate an FDP end time from report time, crew type, and sectors. • See split-duty break duration and extension. • Work back from an FDP end time to a target off-block time. • Adjust duty timing and use custom FDP tables for your operation. • Save inputs and results for the next time you open the app. • Use light or dark mode, even offline. Built-in tables and custom settings are planning aids. Check each result against your operator’s approved procedures and the rules that apply to your flight. Questions or suggestions?
