What is aviation crew scheduling software?
Aviation crew scheduling software manages pilot and crew assignments for flight operations while ensuring compliance with FAA duty time and rest requirements. For Part 135 operators, this means tracking flight duty periods, rest periods between assignments, cumulative flight time limits, and ensuring each pilot meets currency and qualification requirements for the assigned aircraft type. With 1,821 Part 135 operators managing thousands of pilots, effective crew scheduling is essential for safe and efficient operations.

Why FAR 135.267 compliance matters
FAR 135.267 establishes specific duty time limits and rest requirements for Part 135 flight crews. Violations can result in certificate action, enforcement proceedings, and civil penalties. Manual tracking of duty time on spreadsheets creates compliance risk and is prone to errors. Crew scheduling software automates these calculations, provides real-time visibility into each pilot's duty status, and prevents assignments that would violate regulations.
