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. ## Is DECK REST safe?

It keeps working with the screen off. • A GPS symbol marks a takeoff set by GPS, in the Takeoff box and on the Rest page. Takeoff NOW or a typed time replaces it. • No location data used by Deck Rest ever leaves your phone. New Flight page • Clearer layout: flight time starts dashed. Takeoff NOW and Rest NOW buttons with icons above their rows ("Takeoff Time at:" and "Rest starting at:"), a calculator on Calculate, and small (i) help buttons. • Landing time works with a takeoff time, a duration, or Rest NOW, and the flight time shows under it. A number pad with a Clear key is used for both. • Times are typed with four digits (0735 becomes 07:35). Rest NOW with a landing time and no takeoff calculates from now to the landing; with only a duration it asks for a takeoff time instead of guessing. • Start of rest: tap the level window and choose FL100, FL150 and so on (FAA: 10,000 ft and 15,000 ft first), or Top of climb. The slider stays. Early return to the flight deck • Switch on Last pilot returns early under Return to flight deck and choose how many minutes before landing. Only that pilot's rest is shortened; the others keep theirs. • With 4 crew it reads Operating Crew return early: each pilot of the last team (for example CM1 and CM2) starts at the normal return time and you raise or lower it for either one. Each gets an own box with its own times and Wake Up Alarm. Short on time • Less than 45 minutes for rest: a warning and no rest assigned. • Not enough for everyone: rest goes to the pilots in list order, 45 minutes each, the remainder to the next pilot. Pilots without rest are marked and an amber window explains. Keep and save settings • Settings > Keep after NEW FLIGHT: choose what NEW FLIGHT keeps (names, rest periods, facility, handover, return to flight deck, regulatory, start of rest altitude). A circular arrows symbol marks what is kept. • Settings > Saved settings: save your presets once and put them back with one press after Clear all or an update (also kept in your iCloud). • The app no longer resets itself after 24 hours. Only a new install, an update or Clear all clears the settings; an update shows a notice. Fixed airport time • Settings > Adjusted or Fixed Time: choose Fixed, type a four letter ICAO code and the local time follows that airport, summer time included. Country and time zone are shown. FAA start of duty • A one-line Start of duty (FAA) row above Calculate opens a sheet where you type it in UTC or Local. With Local, choose the departure airport by its ICAO code: you see the IATA code, name, country and time zone, and the local offset is set for you, summer time included. • Favourite airports: a star list to pick from, kept in alphabetical order or your own order (Settings > Favourite airports: drag, delete, clear). Never erased by NEW FLIGHT. Handovers • Different handover for each rest now gives one setting for every handover: with 3 crew and 2 rests each there are five, each with its own time. Smaller improvements • iPad: the icon row sits above the page, so no box is hidden behind it. The Rest page shows the pilot who returns last at the bottom. • Crew members moved to the Presets page. Tab order is Presets, Flight, Rest, Settings. • Time zone marks (Z, DT, AT, FT) are set smaller next to the times. • Switches respond when you tap anywhere on their row. • Rewritten in-app manual. ### 1.2 — 2026-11-07 Takeoff: Actual or Planned • New switch in the Takeoff box. Actual (the default) is for the real takeoff: the time stays dashed until you tap Now or enter it. Planned is for planning ahead: enter the expected takeoff time and the Rest page is clearly marked PLANNED REST in amber, so nobody mistakes it for actual times. • A small x clears the takeoff time, as usual on iOS. Start of rest Now, without a takeoff time • Forgot to record the takeoff? Switch Flight time to Landing Time (from the FMS) and tap Start of rest Now. Deck Rest plans the rest from now until the return to the flight deck. The Rest page shows a dashed Takeoff and "Start of rest (Now)". • If the takeoff time is later than the start of rest, Deck Rest warns you instead of calculating: change or delete the takeoff time and press Now again. • If the rest cannot be calculated because something is missing, a clear message lists the ways to fix it. Landing time starts from now • Switching to Landing time now fills in the landing time as now plus the flight time, so the two always agree. With a takeoff entered it is the takeoff plus the flight time, and for a planned takeoff everything is in the future. New Report page • The Rest page has a Report button. It shows a small picture of the report: tap it to open the full-size PDF, pinch to zoom, and share it the normal iOS way. • Share as PDF, Share as JPG and Save JPG to Photos are on the same page. • The report marks planned rest, shows a dashed takeoff when it is not known, and shows each pilot's Wake Up Alarm. iPad • Adjust and Report are now available on the iPad Rest page. Before, the iPad page had no Adjust or Share button. Four crew • The "different handover for each rest" switch is now also available with 4 crew. Smaller improvements • The Presets page scrolls clear of the icon row, so the Regulatory card is no longer hidden. • Updated in-app manual for all of the above. ### 1.1 — 2026-11-06 Wake Up Alarm for every pilot and team • Each rest box now shows when to set the alarm: 10 minutes before that rest ends, in UTC and in Local Time (for example "Wake Up Alarm UTC 10:10Z / Local Time 11:10D"). It is on the Rest page and on the shared PDF and picture, so the whole crew can read it. Enter the landing time instead of the flight time • New switch on the Flight page: Duration or Landing time. When you only know the planned landing time, enter it (UTC) and Deck Rest works out the flight time. Start of rest and the return to the flight deck work as before. Move between pages at any time • A permanent row of icons: Flight, Rest, Presets and Settings. At the bottom on iPhone, at the top on iPad. Go back and forth without losing your plan. • The NEW FLIGHT button is now a full-width button directly under Calculate. More rest planning options • One, two or three rest periods per pilot. • Handover briefings from 5 to 30 minutes, with the option of a different handover after each rest (3 crew, or 4 crew with 2 or 3 rests each). Clearer time zones • The second clock is now called Departure Airport Time (it starts from your phone's time zone) or Adjusted Time once you change the offset by hand. Times carry a D or A after them, and Z for UTC. • Phone Time has been removed to keep it simple. Smaller improvements • NEW FLIGHT keeps your start-of-rest altitude and your rest periods per pilot setting, and resets the rest. • A brief "Delayed Start of Rest" notice appears when the start of rest is set above 20,000 ft. • Handover lines read "Handover briefing (10min)" so the length is clear at a glance. • Presets and the information pop-ups use the full screen on iPad, and no longer cut off text. • The FAA explanation now cites 14 CFR 117.17(c) and is clearer about PM and Augment priority. Your plan stays put • Deck Rest no longer clears itself when iOS closes it in the background. It starts from nominal values only after more than 24 hours unused, or when you tap Clear all. Updated in-app manual for all of the above. ### 1.0 — 2026-11-04 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
