EasyTrend vs HOTs 2026

The EasyTrend app is used to capture trend parameters for Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) turboprop and turbofan engines in flight and eliminate the need for paper trend forms. This app can be used by both members and non-members of the Danish Engine Trend Analyzing (DETA) trend analysis service. By submitting the recorded data for analysis with DETA the operator can follow the P&WC Engine Condition Trend Monitoring (ECTM®) program. For aircrafts not equipped with an automatic trend data capturing device, pilots are normally required to enter the trend data onto a paper form, which again has to be scanned to be faxed or emailed, or perhaps even clean written before it can be sent. By using EasyTrend, the data will be processed in one single workload for the aircraft operator. Only thing required is an email account on the iPad and occasional access to an internet connection. The data will be sent directly to DETA by default by using the built in Mail app on the iPad. You may also send or copy the data to any other mail recipient you choose. The trend data will be attached to the Email, and an additional message to the recipients can be entered as any other ordinary email message. When in an area with limited internet access, the trend data will simply be placed in the email outbox like any ordinary email message. The data will then be sent the next time the mail app is opened in an area with internet access. This app does not perform any analysis of the entered data nor is it designed to replace any existing trend monitoring and analysis program. Its sole purpose is to provide a platform to record the required data for easy transmission to DETA where the data will be processed using the P&WC approved WebECTM™ program.

This app contains the 2026-27 aircraft ground de/anti-icing fluid holdover times (HOTs) and related guidance as published by Transport Canada (TC) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Key Features: • Dual Functionality: Calculate HOTs using user-input weather/fluid data or browse official HOT PDFs directly in-app. • HOT Clock: Tracks time since fluid application with a visual timer and alerts at lower (optional) and upper HOT limits. • DSHOTs: Includes degree-specific HOTs for Snow, Snow + Ice Crystals, and Snow + Freezing Fog for Type II, III, and IV fluids. • Real-Time Weather: Automatically integrates METAR weather data into the HOT calculator. • Custom Settings: Set authority, HOT table type (standard/adjusted), alerts, time zone, DSHOTs, METAR integration, and light/dark mode. • Event Log: Logs each HOT Clock event with full details. Export or delete logs from the More tab; all data is stored locally. Developed by APS Aviation Inc., the company responsible for developing and managing the holdover time table data on behalf of TC and the FAA for the last two decades.
