## What is CrewRest Pilot?

CrewRest Pilot is a crew rest planner and flight briefing companion for pilots and flight crew. Turn a route and schedule into a clear, editable rest plan for before duty, during the flight and after landing.

PLAN CREW REST WITH CLARITY
• Build a plan from origin, destination, departure and arrival times in UTC or local time.
• Choose crew size and global rest periods independently.
• Generate balanced rest assignments with an easy-to-follow timeline.
• Edit times, crew settings and rest periods when operational circumstances change.
• Keep the active plan available from the home screen so you can reopen it quickly.

ROSTER WORKFLOW
• Import a roster from Files, Mail, WhatsApp or the iOS share sheet.
• Use local roster processing and OCR when supported.
• Review duties, sectors, dates and historical periods before use.
• Load the next flight from your roster into a new rest plan.
• See attention points for night duties, short turnarounds and recovery.
• Roster formats vary by operator. If a file is not recognized, contact support through Settings.

FLIGHT BRIEFING
Keep the most useful operational context together in one focused workspace:
• Recovery: review protected sleep windows, home-base reference and circadian timing.
• Fatigue: consider sleep, time awake, time-zone change and WOCL exposure.
• Roster: inspect schedule-derived duties and attention points.
• Radiation: view an informational route-exposure estimate based on duration, latitude and selected cruise level.
For awareness and preparation only.

REST TIMERS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES
• Start a timer when rest actually begins.
• Edit, end, cancel or reset a rest period when the plan changes.
• Keep the timer synchronized across iPhone, widgets, Live Activity and Apple Watch.
• Use Apple Watch controls for Stop, Cancel and Reset.
• Reopen an active rest plan without losing your place.

WEATHER AND TIME ZONES
• Search airports by IATA, ICAO, city or country.
• Review available METAR and TAF data for departure and destination.
• Compare UTC and local time throughout the flight.
• Keep the latest available information available offline; refresh when connected.
Always verify official operational weather before departure.

SHARE, SAVE AND REUSE
• Transfer route, schedule and rest assignments with Crew Sync QR.
• Share plans and reports with the iOS share sheet or AirDrop.
• Export premium PDF summaries for personal reference.
• Find saved plans by route, airport, date or flight number.

DESIGNED FOR FLIGHT DECKS AND BRIEFINGS
Built for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, CrewRest Pilot uses a focused dark interface for low-light environments. The iPad workspace keeps more of the briefing visible. Accessibility support includes Dynamic Type and readable layouts.

PREMIUM ACCESS
Explore the complete app during the included three-day trial. An optional one-time lifetime purchase permanently unlocks premium features. Availability and price vary by country or region.

### 5/5 — Great all-in-one tool for long-haul pilots

*2026-08-07*

I’ve been using CrewRest on long-haul flights and it’s much more than just a rest calculator.

On a recent SYD–LAX flight with 4 pilots, I entered the flight times and the app generated the crew rest schedule with a clear timeline and different rest strategies. It’s very easy to adjust the plan and immediately see how much rest each pilot gets.

What I really like is having other useful information in the same app. It includes fatigue assessment, cosmic radiation exposure estimates, time-zone information and jet-lag/circadian awareness, plus weather information for the flight. Having all of this together is especially useful on ultra-long-haul operations crossing multiple time zones.

The interface is clean and quick to use, and the core tools are available offline, which is important onboard.

A very practical app clearly designed with long-haul pilots in mind. I’ll definitely keep using it.
