Wherever you fly

Eleven countries. One logbook. One subscription.

When the work crosses a border, the record-keeping usually does not. RotorLab keeps flights, aircraft and pilots the way operators do in the United States, the United Kingdom, the EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Africa, India, Brazil and Singapore — so winning the job abroad costs you a flight, not a second system and a spreadsheet nobody trusts.

One account, every country

Britain on Monday. Canada on Thursday. Nothing to set up in between.

Pick where the flight was flown and the form asks that country’s questions. Your crew learns one system, you pay for one subscription, and the record is right in both places without anybody keeping a side spreadsheet to catch what the software missed.

✓No second system, no second bill. The alternative is a tool per country and a person reconciling them.
✓One client always wants something extra. Every field stays available wherever you fly, so an unusual contract requirement never sends you back to a spreadsheet.
✓Change country, keep your history. Records you already made never move. Settings change what you are asked next, not what you already proved.

records · completeness

One gap in Canada, found before anyone asked for it.

Before anyone asks

A gap you find costs an afternoon. A gap they find can cost the contract.

Nobody discovers a missing record at a convenient moment. It turns up when an insurer asks for the file, when a client wants proof before releasing the next job, or when a regulator picks a date at random. This page tells you first — every detail recorded, partly recorded, or not recorded, per country.

✓Fix it in ten minutes, not ten days. You get the flight and the field, not a score you then have to go hunting behind.
✓Never marked down for a question nobody asked. Details your country does not use are listed separately and never counted against you.
✓Aircraft and pilots too — registration, class marking, mass, and what each pilot holds.

Your crew

Never lose a day’s work to a certificate nobody noticed expiring.

A pilot working both sides of the Atlantic carries a Part 107 certificate, a Flyer ID and an A2 Certificate of Competency — three authorities, three renewal dates, and only one of them has to lapse to stop a job on the morning it was booked. RotorLab holds all of them and puts whatever expires first at the top.

✓Weeks of warning, not a nasty surprise. You see a lapse coming while there is still time to book the renewal.
✓Training counts too. Recurrent courses and flight reviews sit in the same list — the records Canada and Australia expect you to keep.
✓The aircraft as well. Class marking, take-off mass, registering authority, and when the registration runs out.

pilot · credentials

A RotorLab pilot record listing four credentials from two countries, each with its issuing authority and expiry, soonest first.

Four credentials, two countries, one pilot.

Eleven frameworks, one subscription

Quote the job. We already speak the paperwork.

Each country names things differently — the tier you operate in, the permission you hold, what a pilot carries. RotorLab knows all of it, so taking work in a new market is a commercial decision rather than a systems project.

Flying somewhere else? You get every field, with nothing assumed — so you record exactly what your regulator asks for from the first flight, and edit the wording to match. Tell us where you fly and it goes on the list.

Never destroy the file you are about to need

Keep records too briefly and you cannot answer; keep everything forever and you cannot find anything. Set a window per record and RotorLab tells you what is past it — then stops. Nothing is deleted on a timer, because the file an auditor asks for is always the one that just aged out.

Prove you reported it, not just that you meant to

Outside the US an occurrence comes with a clock. Record the deadline, when you filed, how, and the reference you got back — so the answer to “can you show us?” is a document, not a memory and a hope.

An ops manual that reads like it was written there

Manual sections in the words your regulator uses, not an American document with the place names swapped — United States, United Kingdom, EU, Canada and Australia. Start from an outline or from a blank page, write sections we never thought of, order them the way your authority reads them — it comes out as your programme's manual, not our template with your name on it. Corrections reach you as a notice, never as a silent edit to something you already approved.

Kept current

The rules move. So do we.

Regulators keep changing what operators have to record. We track those frameworks and keep RotorLab aligned to them — the fields, the vocabulary, the manual sections, the reports. Eleven today, and the list keeps growing.

Your job is flying. Ours is making sure that when somebody asks what you did, the answer is already on file and stands up.
