FTL — Standby, Rest & Advanced Scenarios

Is standby included in FTL duty calculations?

Yes, standby is included according to the rules of your FTL scheme — airport standby counts fully as duty, while home/other standby counts partially toward cumulative duty and reduces the following maximum FDP after the applicable threshold. The exact percentages and thresholds come from your regulatory framework and OM-A configuration.

How does Leon handle the recurrent extended recovery rest (for example 2 nights or 2×48 hours)?

Leon tracks the recurrent extended recovery rest requirement and raises a violation when the configured interval passes without a qualifying rest period. The qualifying rest is evaluated in the reference time of your FTL scheme (typically home-base local time), so make sure crew home bases and time-zone settings are correct — most false violations in this area come from UTC-versus-local-time discrepancies.

Does minimum rest at home base depend on the length of the preceding duty?

Yes, under EASA-style schemes the minimum rest at home base is at least as long as the preceding duty period, and never less than 12 hours; away from base the floor is 10 hours. Leon applies whichever value is higher automatically, based on your FTL scheme.

How is delayed reporting handled in FTL calculations?

When a delayed reporting procedure is applied, Leon recalculates the maximum FDP according to the delayed-reporting rules of your FTL scheme, using the original and the delayed reporting times. Record the delay through the duty details so the calculation and audit trail reflect the actual procedure used.

Are cabin crew FTL limits calculated differently from flight crew?

Yes, cabin crew FDP can differ from flight crew FDP — for example when cabin crew report earlier for the same flight — and Leon applies the cabin-crew provisions of your FTL scheme separately. Assign the correct crew category (cockpit/cabin) in each crew member's profile so the right limits apply.

Does Leon track cumulative flight and duty hour limits (7/14/28 days, calendar year)?

Yes, Leon continuously tracks cumulative duty and block-hour limits over the rolling windows defined by your FTL scheme (for example 60 duty hours in 7 days, 100 block hours in 28 days, 900/1000 hours per year) and warns before they are exceeded. Cumulative totals include all duty types that your scheme counts, including standby fractions and positioning.

Can Leon show which FTL scheme was applied to a specific duty?

Yes, the FTL details of each duty show the applied scheme and the limits used in the calculation. If a crew member is flying under the wrong scheme, correct the scheme assignment in their profile or the aircraft/AOC configuration.
