MFD System Description and Features

Increase Efficiency, Reliability, and Accuracy of your Flight Department and Records!

The myflightdata.com™ was designed to reduce the paperwork burdens and increase flight following awareness associated with the Part 91 and Part 135 operator . Either the pilots or the operators can keep your records up to date.

Success, in part, is due to the incorporation of FAR 135 operating requirements and the new OPSPEC-008. Not to mention the time savings and electronic automation.

Recording Options and Collecting the Data

myflightdata.com™ provides a number of ways that you can use to input your flight data:

1. Manual input via www.myflightdata.com web site
2. Automatically on IFR flights
3. Automatically using your cell phone with our SMS system

Manual Data Input

Each pilot will have a unique account under the operator account. After a flight or series of flights the pilot can simply log in and fill out the flight information, which will then populate the operators pilot and aircraft records. The operator can print the flight and duty time records as often as necessary for FAA required reporting and monitoring the flight and duty time.

Automatically Capturing IFR Flights

Each operator’s aircraft registration number is saved in the system. When the pilot files our system will pick up the aircraft information, date, times, departure/arrival points and save the information into the pilot and the operators account. All you or the pilot need to do is save or edit the information and the flight(s) will go into your records.

Typical Flight Scenario Using the System

• Flight plan is filed
• Chief Pilot assigns the crew
• Flight occurs
• Our system receives your flight information via the ATC system
• Log in and edit or accept flight history
• You can download and print your Flight and Duty time reports and Aircraft Maintenance Status reports or they can be delivered automatically via email, hard copy each month.

Using the SMS Sytem

The Simplified Messaging System (SMS) utilizes operator and pilot cell phones. Once the pilot files a flight plan, a message is sent the operators Chief Pilot (or designated Flight Locator). The Chief Pilot then reviews the flight information, selects a pilot from the list in the message (which designates the PIC for the flight) and presses send. That message will go into the myflightdata.com™ and check that the pilots flight and duty time as well as the aircraft maintenance status. If one of these items is not legal for the flight a message is returned to the Chief Pilot to check the discrepancy before the flight departs.

Typical VFR Flight Scenario

• Chief Pilots assigns the PIC and provides trip information
• Upon departure the pilot sends the SMS message to the system
• The system check the flight and duty times, and maintenance status, and then Chief Pilot is notified with a “Take Off” alert.
• Pilot sends a landing alert upon arrival. If the not sent 30 minutes past the ETA, the Chief Pilot receives an Overdue Aircraft alerts and must initiate the appropriate procedures.
• Log in and edit or accept flight history.
• You can down load and print your Flight and Duty time reports and Aircraft Maintenance Status reports or they can be delivered automatically via email, hard copy each month.

Completing the Reports

Reports should be reviewed as often as necessary to make sure that the pilot and aircraft regulatory (flight and duty) requirements are not exceeded. Each operator is different, the more you fly the more often you should print and review the flight activity reports. At a minimum reports should be printed once a month just in case your friendly FAA inspector happens to stop by.

NOTE: Flight history is only maintained as long as it is required to be available for 14 CFR Part 135. Records beyond that are permanently discarded from our system so if you keep your records longer you should maintain hard copies.

Customizing the Forms

Their several reports and forms that are available, and the number is growing based on customer requests. Currently the reports that are available in the system are those that are required by 14 CFR Part 135. The reports have a default design incorporated that will place your company name in the header automatically. You can also designate custom revision and/or form title information in the footer. Each time you print the form will have your custom information. If you would like to use your own logo you can simply upload it from the account management and operator profile page.

Provide Real-Time Flight Following

Flight Following Alerts

Whether you use the IFR filing or the SMS system you can monitor all your aircraft with near real time maps. And that’s not all, you can receive alerts to your cell phone for each:

1. IFR flight plan filed
2. Return to gate/ramp
3. Take-off
4. Divert
5. Landing
6. Overdue aircraft

Should you receive one of these messages you can simply log in and check the status of the aircraft on the flight map.

Get FAA Approved

Specific approval for using the system is not required in most cases, however each operator is different and it is recommended that you notify your POI. In either case, you must submit the forms as a revision before you can use them. Some operators have also made revisions to their manuals incorporating the use and procedures for using system. You can download sample information to customize and use below.

Revising Your General Operations Manual

If you are planning a revision to your manual you can download and use the sample information for the maintenance and recordkeeping.

Forms

To get your forms approved, you can upload your logo or other custom information (revision number) after you sign up for an account. You will need to print out sample copies and submit them to your Certificate Holding District Office.

NOTE: It is strongly suggested to use a practice period before transition from your current system to the myflightdata.com™ system.
