# How to Use Crew Analytics

> Analyze crew performance metrics, utilization rates, duty compliance trends, and currency status from the Crew Analytics dashboard.

By the end of this guide, you will have navigated the Crew Analytics sub-tab, interpreted crew utilization metrics, and used the data to optimize scheduling decisions.

<Info>
  The Operations module must be enabled for your workspace. You also need the appropriate operations
  permissions. Contact your workspace administrator if you cannot access these features.
</Info>

<Info>
  You need any ops access role. The Crew Analytics tab is accessible from the main Analytics
  dashboard.
</Info>

## Navigate to Crew Analytics

Open the Operations sidebar and click **Analytics** under the **Analytics & Reports** group. On the Analytics landing page, click the **Crew Analytics** card.

**Breadcrumb path:** Ops > Analytics > Crew Analytics

## KPI strip

Three KPI cards appear at the top of the Crew Analytics page:

| KPI                     | What it measures                                                        |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Total Crew Members**  | Count of active crew members in the workspace.                          |
| **Avg Weekly Hours**    | Mean weekly flight hours across all active crew in the selected period. |
| **Currency Compliance** | Percentage of active crew with all currency items in current status.    |

## Duty compliance table

The duty compliance table shows each crew member's rolling 7-day flight time compared to the 14 CFR Part 135 Subpart F weekly limit of 34 hours.

| Column             | Description                                                    |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Crew Member        | Full name and role.                                            |
| 7-Day Flight Time  | Total flight hours in the rolling 7-day window.                |
| Remaining Capacity | Hours remaining before the 34-hour limit is reached.           |
| Status             | Green (under 80%), Yellow (80--95%), Red (above 95% of limit). |

<Warning>
  The duty compliance display always uses a rolling 7-day window regardless of the date range
  selected at the top of the page. This reflects how 14 CFR Part 135 Subpart F limits are calculated
  operationally.
</Warning>

## Currency status panel

Each crew member is listed with their currency items and status badges:

| Badge             | Color  | Meaning                                     |
| ----------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Current**       | Green  | Item valid, not approaching expiration.     |
| **Expiring Soon** | Yellow | Expiration within 60 days.                  |
| **Expired**       | Red    | Item has lapsed -- may not be legal to fly. |

Currency items tracked: Medical, BFR, IPC, Type Rating, and Recurrent Training.

## Weekly hours trend

The stacked area chart shows hours flown per crew member over time for the selected date range. Use this chart to identify:

* **Uneven workload distribution** -- one crew member consistently at capacity while others are underutilized.
* **Seasonal patterns** -- hours increasing during peak travel seasons.
* **Post-event dips** -- reduced hours following training events or time-off periods.

## Crew utilization metrics

The Crew Analytics sub-tab computes the following per-crew metrics from trip and duty data:

| Metric        | Calculation                                          |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| Hours Flown   | Sum of flight time from duty records in the period.  |
| Duty Hours    | Sum of total duty hours (flight + ground + standby). |
| Leg Count     | Number of trip legs assigned to the crew member.     |
| Utilization % | Duty hours divided by available hours in the period. |

## Use crew analytics for scheduling decisions

<Steps>
  ### Step 1: Identify underutilized crew

  Sort the crew utilization table by hours flown ascending. Crew members at the bottom have capacity for additional assignments.

  ### Step 2: Check currency compliance

  Verify that underutilized crew members have all currency items current before increasing their assignment load.

  ### Step 3: Balance workload

  Compare weekly hours trends across crew members. Aim for even distribution to reduce fatigue risk and improve operational resilience.

  ### Step 4: Plan ahead for expirations

  Use the currency status panel to identify crew members who will lose currency in the coming months. Schedule renewal training before the expiration window.
