DECK REST

Deck Rest is a quick rest planner for augmented flight crews. Enter the flight time (or the landing time) and the takeoff time, and it splits the available time into rest periods for every pilot, with a handover briefing between them. It also gives each pilot or team a wake up alarm time. Built for 3 and 4 pilot crews flying long-haul, on iPhone and iPad. HOW IT WORKS • On the Presets page set the crew (3 or 4), names, rest facility, handover and return to flight deck once. • Before each flight tap NEW FLIGHT. Everything returns to standard, except the settings you have chosen to keep. • Enter the flight time, or switch to Landing time and enter the landing (UTC). • Tap Takeoff NOW at takeoff, enter the time, or use AUTO TAKEOFF (GPS). Planned plans ahead. • Choose the start of rest: a flight level (FL100 to FL350 or top of climb) with one tap, the slider, or Rest NOW. • Tap Calculate. Every pilot gets a clear rest time in UTC and local time. AUTO TAKEOFF • The GPS registers takeoff at 100 knots ground speed and calculates the plan, with the screen off too. No location data ever leaves your phone. PLANNED REST • Plan before the flight. The Rest page and report are marked PLANNED REST. WAKE UP ALARM • Every rest box shows when to set the alarm: 10 minutes before that rest ends, in UTC and local time. Also on the report. SHORT ON TIME • With less than 45 minutes available for rest, a warning says so and nobody is assigned rest. • When there is not enough time for everyone, rest is given in the order of the list: 45 minutes to the first pilot, the rest to the next, and so on. An amber window explains, and pilots without rest are marked. From 45 minutes each, rest is shared as usual. KEEP WHAT YOU CHOOSE • Switch on what NEW FLIGHT should keep: crew names, rest periods, facility, handover time, return to flight deck, regulatory choice and start of rest altitude. A small symbol marks what is kept. • Save your settings once. After an update or Clear all, one press puts them back. LOCAL TIME • Adjusted: the departure airport time from your phone, or an offset you set. • Fixed: for a phone that always stays on one airport's time. Type the four letter ICAO code and Deck Rest shows the country, time zone and whether the airport uses daylight saving time. BUILT FOR THE FLIGHT DECK • One, two or three rest periods per pilot. Drag a rest box onto another to swap them. • Handover briefings of 5 to 30 minutes, with a separate time after every rest if you like. • Let the last pilot, or each pilot of the last team, return to the flight deck earlier or later than the rest. FIXED REST AND DYNAMIC REST • Fixed Rest gives the exact times. • Dynamic Rest puts every start and end on a 5-minute mark, so a rest reads 18:45 to 22:50 instead of 18:42 to 22:49. ADJUST WHEN THE PLAN CHANGES • Unlock a pilot's rest and set it to the minute; the change is shared between the locked pilots. REGULATORY CHECKS • Switch on EASA or FAA rules and see the minimum rest for each pilot. • A warning when planned rest is below the minimum, and one tap to fix it. • FAA (14 CFR 117.17): the PF rests last with at least 2 hours, the PM gets at least 1 hour 30, and you choose whether PM or Augment crew gets priority for the rest. • FAA: enter start of duty in UTC or local time (pick the airport, favourites kept) and compare the duty period with the limit. REPORT • Open the Report page for a small picture of the plan. Tap it to see the PDF full size, pinch to zoom and share it. • Share a PDF or a picture (JPG) with every time in UTC and each wake up alarm, by AirDrop, Mail or Messages, or save it to Photos. PRIVATE • No account, no ads, no tracking. Your plan and location stay on your device. Saved settings can be kept in your own iCloud. Deck Rest is a planning aid. It does not replace your operations manual, company procedures or a regulatory compliance check. The Captain remains responsible for the flight and for crew rest.
