SkedFlex Introduces PRD Integration: Automating FAA PRD Compliance for Greater Efficiency
SkedFlex is announcing the launch of its PRD Integration for SkedFlex FCMS, a new solution designed to automate compliance with the FAA’s Pilot Records Database (PRD) requirements. The integration reduces the time and effort required to maintain compliance, helping airline operators free up valuable internal resources.
FAA-mandated PRD compliance requires all U.S. air carriers to submit pilot records to a central database—a process that has traditionally been tedious, manual, and time-consuming. With SkedFlex PRD Integration, airlines can now automate pilot record updates and maintain compliance without the same administrative burden.
PRD Compliance Made Simple
SkedFlex PRD Integration eliminates the need for manual data entry by replacing it with a seamless automated process that keeps pilot records up to date with minimal intervention.
With this new integration, airlines benefit from:
✅ Automated Data Syncing – SkedFlex FCMS updates pilot records directly in the FAA PRD, eliminating the need for manual input.
✅ Improved Accuracy – Reduces errors and missed updates by syncing records in real time.
✅ Time Savings – Operators can reallocate personnel to more critical tasks instead of dedicating hours to manual PRD entries.
✅ Seamless Compliance – Stay ahead of FAA regulations with records that remain accurate and accessible.
“PRD compliance isn’t difficult—it’s just tedious,” said Tom LaJoie, President & CEO of SkedFlex. “With PRD Integration, we’re giving airlines and operators a way to automate compliance, save time, and increase operational efficiency without changing their existing workflows.”
From Manual to Automated — A Real Impact
According to customer feedback, PRD Integration is already delivering meaningful operational improvements. One regional airline reported that the automation effectively freed up the equivalent of an entire team member for other duties.
“The FCMS PRD integration has transformed a previously manual workflow into an automated process, enabling more efficient use of resources and reducing time spent on routine PRD updates,” said Ian Dudek, Director of the Operations Control Center, Kalitta Charters II . “We are very pleased with the results.”
With a simple three-step process, the SkedFlex PRD Integration ensures hassle-free compliance:
- Purchase the PRD Integration module
- Configure pilot records to sync with PRD
- Continue using the system as usual—PRD updates happen automatically
