Flight-Sheets.com introduces the Electronic Daily Flying Record module to the Flight-Sheets on-line flight booking system.

Designed to reflect and reinforce the information capture and flight authorization processes currently used with traditional paper-based daily flying record, the Electronic Daily Flying Record system allows your flight operation to realize benefits not available in traditional paper-based systems:

• Improved Legibility of Records
  The Electronic Daily Flying Record system does not rely on handwritten entries. Information such as Captain and Student names, the names of individuals authorizing flights, flight exercises, and flight times are clearly readable.
• Improved Information Capture
  The Electronic Daily Flying Record system provides error checking and prevents partially-completed flight records.
• Improved Accurancy
  Information such as air times, flight times, and daily flight totals are calculated (not added up manually), thereby eliminating arithmetic errors and reducing errors arising from human error.
• Improved Policy Control and Management
  The Electronic Daily Flying Record system prevents flight authorizations by anyone but approved personnel. All flight information is tracked and tagged with the user ID of the individual making the entries, to allow for transparent auditing.
• Improved Financial Tracking, Revenue Capture, and Operational Auditability
  The Electronic Daily Flying Record system allows your flight operation to capture a number of fees (such as fees for late cancellations of flight bookings) which might otherwise be missed. Additionally, the System provides traceability from the booking of an aircraft or instructor through to the actual completion of the ground or flight exercises.

Process - From Booking to Flight Completion

The Electronic Daily Flying Record system works in concert with the Electronic Flight and Instructor Booking System - in order to have a flight appear on the Daily Flying Record, it must first be booked in the Booking System.

When a new Electronic Daily Flying Record is opened for a given day, the Record is automatically populated with flight information for the booked flights, including: student and instructor names, aircraft, and original time of the booking.

Authorization and Tracking

The system is designed to avoid errors and to enhance auditability. Information such as flight exercises and course type (private, commercial, etc.) must be entered before a flight can be activated, and all flights have to be authorized (by an instructor or dispatcher) and must be acknowledged by the student or renter - using a unique user ID and password.

The system captures information such as watch times, flight times, preparatory ground instruction times, and simulator times.

Regulatory Compliance

The Electronic Daily Flying Record system meets or exceeds the requirements of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARS) in the areas of Record Keeping, Daily Flying Records, and Technical Records.
