Readiness you can see before it slips.

From the squadron's weekly flying schedule to the command's 90-day readiness picture: one platform, fielded for IL4 and CUI.

01Every level

Squadron to wing to command, one picture.

Each level sees what it decides on, from the same live data. Nobody re-types a schedule into a slide again.

Squadron

Schedulers and the DO

Build, reflow and publish the flying week. Track currencies and the syllabus student by student.

Wing

Operations group

Share ranges, tankers and sims across squadrons; see where the wing runs short next month.

Command

Commanders and staff

Readiness forecasts by unit, deficits ranked by impact, reports that send from a phone.

02Readiness forecast

Act on the gap weeks before it reaches the line.

What drives the forecast
  • Aircraft availability from maintenance, by tail
  • Instructor and student pipelines, by phase
  • Attrition predicted from history and the weather outlook
  • Range, tanker and simulator capacity

Each deficit links to the moves that fix it: an instructor borrowed from a sister squadron, a sim block moved forward, a weekend surge.
