CrewLogic connects with
CrewLogicAn indispensable tool for effective crew management. CrewLogic harnesses the power of APM’s optimiser to generate crew pairings and rosters with the potential to generate high performance and fairness at minimum cost.
Applying local aviation authority regulations and airline crew rule agreements, CrewLogic identifies the ideal crew pairings which meet the demands of your flight schedule whilst conforming to crew flight-time limitations. The result identifies your required establishment using either an actual or virtual crew approach.
Once crew routes are created, APM’s optimiser automatically assigns duties to crew members based upon user-defined distribution of flight types, be they fair or unfair. The duties are only allocated to crew members with the appropriate qualifications, aircraft and airport recent experience and rest.
Standbys can be manually or automatically allocated, together with legal rest days, hotac and third party positioning (dead headings).
CrewLogic’s comprehensive training feature lets you assign ground training events, such as simulators and flight training, to crew members including line training and a crew role transition training function. The training activities are published in the roster along with updated crew qualifications resulting in a compliant roster for all crew members.
Flight amendments from APM’s SchedulePlanner or SmartOps, which affect crew pairings or rosters, are shown visually in a regulation graphical display so that irregularities are easily identified and solved.
A crew-track changes feature means that you are able to easily identify and update crew roster changes by using the crew regulations display.
To analyse the results, CrewLogic offers a comprehensive range of reports and graphs with a very helpful function to measure individual results to the average.

CrewSim connects with
CrewSimCrewSim lets you create and test multiple crewing scenarios. Being a sandbox-tool parallel to the production environment, it identifies the most efficient and effective crewing solution.
By importing your existing crew data from CrewLogic, and combining it with your flight schedule from either SchedulePlanner or ScheduleSim, CrewSim allows you to test multiple crew pairings, establishments and rosters that you can be sure are airline and aviation authority crew rules-compliant.
CrewSim’s optimisers can, of course, be fine-tuned by APM’s consultancy service to meet your specific airline’s requirements.
Its suite of analysis and reporting tools allows you to display several scenarios on the same screen in just a few clicks. This enables easy evaluation of your options so you can decide on a preferred crewing scenario.
Before you export the scenario back to production, CrewSim gives a visual graphical display of all differences between your production pairings and crew roster, and those in your scenario, so you can decide which to maintain in production in the export process. You can then export this to the production environment of CrewLogic to form the foundation of your season’s crew management or to identify your long-term establishment planning.
Administration, analysis and reporting
import complete or partial schedules from ScheduleSim, or a live production schedule from SchedulePlanner
build in and apply airline and aviation authority crew rules and parameters
easy interpretation of scenarios, using a range of reporting tools make roster comparison more intuitive and efficient

CrewWebPlusAn optional addition for CrewLogic, CrewWebPlus lets your crew access essential information - such as rosters, messages and briefings - at anytime, anywhere, via the web in either a text or a graphical visual display.
Crew members can check their personal details and qualifications, and send request messages to their crew planning manager, as well as receive alerts about last-minute duty changes. Crew briefing reports, general declarations and customs declarations can also be printed locally by crew members.
So long as they have the correct permissions, senior crew members can also review their crew’s rosters and duty qualifications without the need to contact their crew planning manager.
