CrewBagfor Operators

For airlines and operators

The app your crews already know, under your control.

CrewBag for Operators is the same application as the personal edition, delivered as a version-pinned build that you classify inside your own EFB programme and, for a type B application, put to your competent authority for approval. A core package, and options you pick, each one scoped, priced and switched on by you. We bring the engineering, the evidence and the change control.

What your crews get

Everything in the personal edition, on the devices they carry today. One import, then the day is on the device.

Roster, next duty, calendar

Roster from the file or feed you provide, or the crew member's own import; next duty on the Lock Screen and the watch, the month at a glance, calendar sync to the calendar they choose.

Duty and flight-time totals

Cumulative limits against the published authority limit, with the document and its date shown. Reference, with the source on screen.

OFP viewer and flight archive

The operational flight plan as a document, read the way it was printed. The OFPs your crew accepted are kept hash-chained, on the device and, in the operator edition, in your archive.

Logbook, filled from the roster

Every flight logged from the roster and the OFP, exportable in an EASA-style layout; your authority decides what it accepts. Pilots keep their own logbook when they leave.

Weather and NOTAM, advisory

Decoded METAR and TAF, the weather map on the route, NOTAMs with the raw text one tap away. Advisory only. The official briefing decides.

Pay and rights, reference

Gross-pay estimation from the roster and a payslip check against it, at the rates in your agreement. Rest and duty reference with the agreement named.

What you control

The operator edition differs from the personal edition by who holds the switches, not by what the software is.

Version-pinned builds

Your fleet runs the version you qualified. A new version ships to you as a release candidate with its change record; it goes live when you say so.

Change control

Feature switches per fleet and base

Every capability is a switch you own: on, off, or read-only, per fleet, per base, per role. The crew sees what you decided they see.

Configuration

Data retention you govern

Retention periods, export formats and deletion are set by you and recorded. Personal data stays on the device unless your programme says otherwise.

Governance

Storage where you decide

Accepted OFPs, signatures and audit trails kept in one of three places, your choice. A tenancy we run in the EU, listed in your information-security risk assessment as an interface: we report security events to you within 24 hours, work under your oversight, and your authority may access us on request. Your own servers, with the same software, under your keys: we hold no data and have no access unless you grant it. Or a mix, with the archive on your side and each data flow documented. In every case: encrypted in transit and at rest, backed up on your schedule, access logged, export on demand.

Data

Fleet view

The operational picture across your fleet: which version is in use, what is pending, and, where your policy allows it, who has accepted what. You are the controller of that record; retention is set by you.

Operations

Entity billing

One contract, one invoice, seats managed by you. Crew members pay nothing themselves.

Commercial

The acceptance chain

One record per flight, built step by step on the crew's device. Every entry is tamper-evident in an append-only, hash-chained trail; the device signs each entry, your identity scheme says who acted, one named user per device, and each entry carries the application version, configuration and data cycle it was made with. Entries are timestamped when made, never when synced. Nothing is rewritten; a rejected step is kept with the reason. Where your operations manual says so and every required item is present, the record can serve as your journey log or equivalent.

  1. Your OFP is producedBy your dispatch or your OFP provider, as today. Connection to the provider optional.
  2. CrewBag reads itThe plan is on the crew's device: pushed by you when the crew is on duty, or fetched on demand. Integrity hash recorded at import.
  3. Preflight decisionsMade by your crew, against the items you list from CAT.OP.MPA.175(b). Fuel on board at engine start recorded. Special loads and dangerous-goods notification received and acknowledged, when applicable. Two-way contact with your ground crew, app to app, where you switch it on: a message channel that replaces no check and never reaches air traffic services.
  4. Aircraft and OFP acceptedIn one screen: the release to service, the maintenance statement, deferred defects, fuel uplift and status as read from your technical log, plus the items you list. The commander accepts; the entry is signed on the device. Anti-icing code recorded as received, when de-icing occurs.
  5. Loadsheet acceptedMass and balance as delivered by your provider or your load control; the commander's acceptance recorded, and again after any last-minute change. Performance figures as delivered, with the inputs and the time of computation.
  6. ATIS and clearanceAcknowledged as buttons under your procedures and your PED policy; the clearance and any reclearance recordable as entries. No aircraft position is shown or used.
  7. In flightFuel checks recorded at the intervals your procedures set, at least every 60 minutes; actual times overhead and any replanning entered by the crew; arrival ATIS; landing figures as delivered by your provider. The app computes none of it.
  8. After landingTimes from your AOC datalink where connected. Optional entries: delay codes, ground handling, PF and PM, and the items your recency records need, such as a CAT II/III landing or a PBN approach. Observations and any report the commander deems necessary, routed into your reporting scheme.

The final signature closes the record with a hash of the whole chain and transfers it to your archive over an encrypted link. Optional connections: your OFP provider, your performance provider, and your ACARS/AOC datalink for out, off, on and in times. Retention runs per record class, as your rules set it: flight-preparation documents, fuel-check data, recency items and management-system records each keep their own clock, and the export splits them. The module is enabled by you inside your approval; the records are yours, and crew members can obtain their own on request.

By itself it is not a performance tool: CrewBag for Operators computes no take-off, landing, mass-and-balance or fuel figures. Where you connect it to your performance provider, it displays that provider's output as delivered, engine-out procedures and EOSIDs as text, with the provider, the inputs and the time of computation on screen. It recomputes nothing, interpolates nothing and draws no procedure on a map; a figure is marked superseded the moment an input changes. A type B function, inside your approval, with your provider contract behind it.

When EASA's AI rules under RMT.0742 are adopted and you switch model help on, every model input and output enters the same trail, for your compliance and quality control.

Your documents, digitised

Operations manuals, checklists, notices and bulletins as searchable documents on the device, in the revision you released. Read receipts per crew member, where your policy allows it and your staff have been consulted; retention set by you. A plain PDF reader for everything else.

Works with the flight bag you already have

The route on the accepted plan can be handed to your charting application on the same device: Lido mPilot or ForeFlight today; others as their publishers permit and your programme approves. A hand-off, opt-in, switched on by you. CrewBag holds no chart data and draws no charts.

AI, at the level you approve

A model offers information; it never decides. On the ground it helps prepare the day from the documents on the device. In flight the personal edition shows a METAR, TAF or NOTAM as issued, from a rule the crew member set; it is a display, not an AI.

You climb the ladder, we never climb it for you: no alerts at all; alerts from deterministic rules only; then model help at EASA Level 1A or 1B, at your request, inside your approval, once EASA's AI rules under RMT.0742 are adopted. It is an option in the table below.

Every step is your switch, disclosed at the point of use, never in a signature step. Models run at Mistral AI on EU servers; nothing of yours trains any model. EASA's Concept Paper and NPA 2025-07 are our design baseline, not binding law, and confer no approval on us.

Build your package

Core, plus the options you pick

The core is the three sections above: the app your crews get, the controls you hold, and the acceptance chain. Everything below is an option: scoped with you, priced in the contract, switched on by you inside your approval, and carried in the same version-pinned build and the same trail. Each option is a tool inside an approval you hold and a procedure you own. None of them makes you compliant, prevents an error or replaces a check; your procedures do that, and the option records what your people did. Nothing below is in the product today unless its status says so.

The rules we build against

We do not classify our own software. You classify an application inside your programme and, for a type B application, your competent authority approves its use. What we bring is the evidence pack, prepared with you, and a security posture that is operated, not promised.

FrameworkWhat it means for youWhere we stand
EASA EFB rules · FAA AC 120-76ECAT.GEN.MPA.141 and SPA.EFB.100 with their AMC/GM (ED Decision 2019/008/R). CrewBag for Operators is built to be classified and approved as an EFB application inside your own EFB programme. Only you and your competent authority can do that; we supply the evidence for your dossier: software description, change-control record, data-integrity design, failure modes, human-factors notes, training material.Evidence pack drafted with you
EASA Part-ISWe contract as a supplier inside your Part-IS information security management system: our activities work under your oversight, and your competent authority may have access to us on request, as IS.I.OR.235 requires. Security events reach your named contact within 24 hours, with what your own 72-hour report needs.Contracted supplier
EU AI ActModel-assisted features are disclosed at the point of interaction, propose and never decide, and enter no signature step. The operator edition's AI behaviour is designed against EASA's published AI work — Concept Paper Issue 02 (2024) as our baseline, and NPA 2025-07 (RMT.0742) as the rulemaking proposal we track. Neither is binding law today and neither confers any approval on us. Models run at Mistral AI on EU servers; nothing of yours trains any model.Designed in

NIS2Where you are an essential entity, your supplier demands flow down to us. We answer them from the same control set.Answered on request

We are not ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certified today. Policies, a risk register, access reviews and incident records exist and are dated; the statement of applicability and the internal audit are the open items on our own readiness check. A contract with you carries certification as a commitment with a date.

How we work with you

1. Scope

A working session with your EFB administrator, flight operations and IT: which capabilities, which fleets, which data stays where.

2. Build and classify

Engineering starts when you commit. You receive release candidates with their change records and the evidence pack drafted for your programme. Your evaluation, your pace.

3. Operate

Version pinning, change control and the archive run under your control. Changes ship as releases you approve; incidents and reviews are recorded and shared.

Contact us. Request a demo.

We walk you through the application on a device, the acceptance chain, and the evidence pack outline for your programme. Bring your EFB administrator.

We answer every request. Nothing on this page is an offer; scope and price are set in the contract. Contracting party: Menegoz Aero Systems (in formation); named in full in the contract.
