Crew Restrictions

Create crew pairings and restrictions for handling the day-to-day operations and training reqiurements.

Based on the qualifications logic, this feature allows you to add several criteria to your day-to-day crew pairing logic.

Users can create restriction- and inexperience-based qualifications that can be used to raise warnings in Dispatch:

Crew restrictions in Dispatch

Upon activation of this feature, a new option becomes available in the logical Type drop-down list in the Qualifications Tree.

 

Selecting the Restriction Type

The Restriction option on a new qualification enables five new options:

  • Always Fly With

  • Don’t Fly With

  • Minimum Number of Sectors

  • Minimum Number of Flight Hours

  • One Criteria Fulfils the Restriction

 

Users can select any or all of the above options, as required, to create:

  • Don’t Fly With Restriction - a crew member cannot fly with another crew member due to personal or other relevant restrictions.

  • Always Fly With - useful, for example, during training, where a trainee can only fly with an instructor or examiner.

 

Crew Restriction Types

  • Minimum Number of Sectors / Minimum Number of Flight Hours - used for qualifications on type where crew members are considered inexperienced. The system counts the sectors and/or flight hours and displays a warning in Dispatch until the configured requirement is fulfilled.

The values can be adjusted on the Staff page, making this dynamic and based on the crew member's actual progress.

All of the above can work together, making it easy to create several scenarios for Line Training and the period following this training phase.

This qualification type is conveniently located on the Staff page as a separate group, directly above the regular Qualifications.

Qualification: inexperienced


It uses the same user-friendly Smart Info logic, allowing users to track the status of a restriction-related item from the Staff page. To activate the items, a start date must be added.

Combining these new restrictions can assist in:

  • Generating warnings in Dispatch in situations where crew members should not fly together.
  • Tracking the phases of training or fulfilling the inexperience conditions following training until the crew is released and beyond.


 

Other Warnings

We issue additional warnings (independent of the above) for:

  • One crew member being older than a user-defined age
  • Both crew members being older than a user-defined age
  • Commercial flight only
  • International flight only

Other Warnings

At the same time, we can issue an OML (Operational Multi-Crew Limitation) warning as long as a pilot has the Operational Multi-Crew Limitation toggle turned ON on the Staff page, subject to the following condition:

  • The other pilot has the same toggle enabled and/or

  • The other pilot is older than 60.

Hours and Sectors Adjustment

Users can adjust hours/sectors down (not just up) for existing qualifications.

 

Expiration Date Override

You can set an expiration date. When the expiration date is set:

    • Active restriction checks are stopped.
    • Warnings in Dispatch are no longer shown.
    • The left-hand side of the restriction is no longer displayed in red.
    • A warning is added for user-defined expiration dates, with the following tooltip:

      “User-defined Expiration date. System calculations for the number of sectors and/or hours are not considered. Sectors/hours required: xxx/xxx, sectors/hours completed: xxx/xxx”
