Aviation Flight Operations & Crew Scheduling Compliance
A specialized engineering resource for flight operations managers, crew schedulers, compliance teams, and Python automation builders — where published duty-time regulation becomes deterministic, audit-ready code.
What this site covers
Translating FAA Part 117 and EASA Flight Time Limitations into production systems is both a compliance obligation and an engineering challenge. This resource focuses on the gap between regulatory text and executable validation logic: temporal normalization, rolling cumulative limits, rest-period checks, fatigue scoring, and the secure, auditable architecture that ties them together.
Every topic is written for practitioners who ship code. You will find normalized data schemas, timezone-aware Python, asynchronous ingestion pipelines, and the validation guardrails that keep crew pairings legally defensible and operationally resilient — from upstream flight-log parsing all the way to inspection-ready audit logs.
The material is organized into three core areas. Start with the architecture and regulatory mapping, move into the rule engines that evaluate duty time, and finish with the ingestion layer that feeds them clean, validated operational data.
Start here
Three hands-on guides — one from each core area — that show the full path from regulation to running, audit-ready Python.
