| Element | How SkyRoster configures it |
|---|---|
| (1) Maximum consecutive working days with duty | Set a consecutive-duty limit and its priority for each unit.Configurable |
| (2) Maximum hours per duty period | Configure duty-hour limits and review assignments against the relevant rules. Configurable |
| (3) Maximum time providing ATC service without breaks (4) Ratio of duty periods to breaks | Time-on-position and break settings support operational planning. The catalogue has no dedicated duty-to-break ratio rule; review your exact ratio requirement and any implementation needs during evaluation. Configurable |
| (5) Minimum rest periods | The rest-time rule checked between any two consecutive shifts a person is assigned, unit by unit. Configurable |
| (6) Maximum consecutive duty periods encroaching night time | A dedicated rule for consecutive nights, separate from the general consecutive-duty cap, so a unit can set a tighter limit on nights specifically.Configurable |
| (7) Minimum rest period after a duty period encroaching night time | Each shift type carries its own configured minimum rest afterward. Set a longer recovery period on your night shift types than your day ones, and the two numbers are enforced separately. Configurable |
| (8) Minimum number of rest periods within a roster cycle | A minimum-consecutive-off-days rule, applied across whatever cycle length your unit rosters against. Configurable |
| (b) Consult the controllers subject to the rostering system | Consultation is an organisational process. SkyRoster supports configuration of the resulting policy. See how units document it. |
For your team · Heads of unit
Bring roster policy into daily decisions.
Review how your approved policy is configured, how rosters are checked and which revisions require your approval. Give planners room to manage routine changes while retaining oversight of major publication decisions.
Regulatory context
The eight rostering elements in ATS.OR.320
ATS.OR.320(a) requires providers to specify eight rostering elements. The table shows the corresponding areas of SkyRoster configuration; the suitability of that configuration requires operational and regulatory review.
Operational oversight
Review the roster and control major revisions.
Use the rule catalogue to explore supported constraints. Check Solution evaluates the current roster against supported configured rules without changing assignments, so planners can review violations after generation or manual edits.
Publication uses Override, Minor and Major strategies. A unit can require explicit head-of-unit approval for a Major publish while delegating routine updates to authorised planners. Explore the publication workflow →
Repeated optimisation runs can produce different assignments and scores. Review each result against staffing requirements and configured rules.
Responsibilities
Keep policy ownership with your organisation.
Plan a review around your unit’s policy.
Discuss your duty, rest and night-work requirements in a 20-minute discovery call. We’ll identify the configuration and approval workflows to cover in a tailored demo or evaluation.
