It kept track of legalities, day/night time, etc. It would proactively warn you for FAR issues, like the ole reduced rest/compensatory rest issues. End of the month, it would output all the info you needed for your logbook or whatever. More than once it flagged FAR issues that could have been missed.

It's hard to believe that 20 years later, we don't have something that can simply parse the rotation data and do the very same thing.

I’ve never used it or verified any of its functionality, but that sounds like APDL from NC Software. I use their logbook program and the front screen of their webpage has an ad for version 10 of APDL, which coincidentally, might be exactly what you had on your handheld super computer.

Yes there’s an app (at least for Apple, not sure about android) made by the same logbook pro people that many have used over the years. It’s a pretty robust piece of software. There’s a subscription to it but usually there’s sales around some of the major holidays. You can get a plug in for safari where you just pull up your rotation in icrew and it’ll scan the trip data and input it right into the app.

I beta tested APDL years ago and it was an incredible piece of programming. I just didn't need it when I got to Delta because our buffers were so large. I have been thinking about going back to it in recent months.

Default Noop GS

It's early and I can't remember. If a GS Noops, is there any guarantee on it or am I out of luck?

Thanks
