Schedaero has a robust training and currency platform available to all operators. When implemented it allows operators to:
-
Track training and currency in a centralized location.
-
Stay on top of next due items and schedule training events more efficiently - prevent pilots from losing flight days due to training lapses.
-
Trigger system warnings if a pilot does not have the proper training or currency for the assigned aircraft or trip.
-
Streamline communication between pilots and schedulers with increased transparency on which pilots are available for which aircraft.
-
Eliminate the need for double entries.
-
Automatically track 90-day landing totals to save pilots time and effort.
-
Schedule pilots and aircraft more efficiently with the ability to filter the crew schedule by which aircraft pilots are qualified.
The training and currency platforms operate largely the same within Schedaero and only need to be set up once.
Schedaero assigns training and currency items to crew members by matching the crew qualifications (which contain positions and regulations) to training/currency items.

NOTE:
Qualifications are explicit
Schedaero will only consider the exactly selected qualifications as what the pilot should be qualified in.

Example 2: A pilot assigned to a Tail Number of a type-rated aircraft will only be considered qualified to fly that exact tail number. Not all aircraft of that type or type rating. If they should be considered qualified to fly all ac of that type or type rating then Aircraft should be set to that type/type rating.
