Project Overview

A leading aviation company entrusted CnEL India with upgrading and enhancing their pilot and helicopter management system. The goal was to implement advanced features for better compliance, operational efficiency, and ease of management. The system required updates such as edit/delete options, real-time dashboards, automated compliance alerts, and enhanced reporting—all aligned with aviation duty and flight time regulations.

Key Challenges

• Integrating new features without disrupting existing data and workflows.
• Ensuring compliance with strict aviation duty/rest requirements.
• Building intuitive dashboards and reports with descending date logic.
• Adding flexible options for multi-pilot and cross-utilisation scenarios.
• Maintaining accuracy and ensuring all historical entries were updated before handover.

CnEL India’s Approach

Our team took a structured approach, combining technical expertise with a deep understanding of aviation compliance needs:

• Entry Management: Implemented a secure delete/edit option with audit logging for accountability.
• Dashboard Updates: Real-time updates reflecting 8 pilots and 3 helicopters with options to add/delete records as required.
• Reports & Monitoring: Built reports that display in descending order, with FDTL monitoring showing latest entries first.
• Duty/Rest Pop-Ups: Automated alerts calculating 7th-day rest and 14-day off requirements, ensuring compliance visibility.
• Extension Alerts: Pop-ups for FDP (>10 hrs) and Flight Time (>7 hrs) with warnings and required acknowledgements.
• Compliance Enforcement: Integrated aviation limits for duty periods and flight time across 24 hrs, 7 days, 28 days, and 365 days.
• Multi-Crew Management: Added pilot selection tabs supporting 3–4 pilot operations with per-leg assignment.
• Cross-Utilisation Tab: Developed a dedicated option to log when a pilot operates for another operator on the same aircraft type.
• Data Integrity: Updated and validated all entries to ensure the system was accurate and audit-ready before handover.
