DutyCal pulls your roster from your crew portal and syncs it to iPhone Calendar. It also prints a clean monthly sheet so your family can see what's happening at a glance. For pilots and cabin crew who fly out at 4 a.m. and want their household to know the month ahead. No chat group. No screenshots. No explaining it again over breakfast. DutyCal Plus subscription required to sync your roster after a 3-day free trial. Cancel anytime. DutyCal currently supports crew at Peach (MM), StarFlyer (7G), and Avelo (XP). Additional airlines on the roadmap. Other portals will not sync. ROSTER, ON YOUR PHONE Log in once with your crew portal credentials. DutyCal fetches your duty schedule, reconciles changes across publishes, and writes every flight, standby, training day, and day off to a dedicated calendar on your iPhone. Flight rows read departure and arrival in each airport's own clock, with the Zulu window right on the row for a quick TAF and NOTAM crossref. Works offline once a roster is loaded. WEATHER ON YOUR FLYING DAYS A METAR line on every leg you fly, with the raw METAR and TAF one tap away, and up to two alternates per leg. THE FRIDGE SHEET A printable A4 landscape view, one row per day, color-coded for flight duty, airport standby, home standby, training, sick, and off. Stick it on the fridge. Your partner stops asking. Designed to be readable at arm's length. ALARMS THAT WAKE YOU Pre-departure alarms set themselves on every flight day and airport standby. They ring through Silent mode and Focus, the way the iOS Clock app does, and stop only when you dismiss them. You choose your at-base lead time. No accidental snooze. A MONTHLY PAY ESTIMATE A running pre-tax estimate of the month so far, built from your duty hours, sectors, and credit. Past months compared against your original published roster. Avelo crews see their paychecks the way they land, on the 7th and the 22nd. No payslip data leaves the phone. THE LOGBOOK, READY TO COPY Peach and StarFlyer flight crew can import their company records and print JCAB pages, fifteen rows each, ready to copy into the paper logbook. The paper book stays the official record. FOR AVELO CREWS FAR 117 at a glance, worked out from the roster on your phone, with a quiet watch that warns you the evening before a tight duty. Station Operations: type any station and read its whole day, departures and arrivals with aircraft, crew, pax, fuel and movement notes, straight from the portal. And a heads-up when your next leg is a different aircraft. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your login is stored in iOS Keychain, locked to your device. No account creation. No DutyCal servers. No analytics.
