FDP from the roster you already imported
Once your duties are in Layvr, each one gets an FDP figure. You do not need a separate timer or a spreadsheet for the month. Open the timeline and you see today first.
Check your FDP against EASA limits from your roster
Report to release, including the ground bits between sectors. Layvr looks up the EASA limit for that report time and sector count, then shows you if the duty is getting close.
ORO.FTL.205, not guesswork
The limit changes with when you report and how many sectors you fly. Layvr uses that table and puts your actual duty length next to the max for that duty.

See a tight duty before you leave for the airport
If a duty is near the limit, Layvr flags it on the roster. FDP tracking stays free for verified crew.
When ops changes the roster
Pro sends a roster-change alert with a simple diff: what moved, and what that does to FDP, layover, and pay. Layvr Pro.
How you use it
- Import your roster (CSV, iCal, or RosterBuster paste).
- Open Roster. Duties sit on a timeline starting at today.
- Each duty shows FDP from report to release.
- Layvr picks the EASA max for that report time and sector count.
- Tight duties get a clear flag so you can double-check with ops if needed.
Your airline OM-A and rostering system still win any argument. Layvr is a crew check, not a legal opinion.

Common questions
What is the difference between FDP and block hours?
Block is wheels-up to wheels-down. FDP starts when you report and ends when you are released, so briefing, boarding, turns, and post-flight work all count.
How do sectors change my limit?
More sectors usually mean a shorter max FDP. Layvr counts sectors from the roster and shows the matching band. Always confirm against your OM-A and airline systems.
What about augmented crew?
If you are on an augmented duty with proper in-flight rest, longer limits can apply under the rules your airline uses. Layvr can reflect that when the roster data supports it. When in doubt, ask crew control.
