About

myCrewRest

Features
Read full description

myCrewRest splits augmented-crew rest into equal periods in seconds, right on your phone. Enter the flight time and the departure, and the landing time is worked out for you. Choose 3 or 4 pilots and myCrewRest divides the available rest into equal periods, one per crew, showing the start time, end time and length of each. Tune it to your operation: Rest starts: trim the window after departure. Rest ends: keep a buffer before landing. Gap: allow changeover time between crews. Round to 5: snap every start and end to the nearest 5 minutes. 3 pilots for 3 periods, 4 pilots for 2 periods. Everything is in UTC, with a day and night theme for the flight deck. Built to be simple and quick: Works fully offline. No account, no sign-in. No data collected. Nothing leaves your phone. Clean, single-screen layout you can read at a glance. myCrewRest is a planning aid to help you divide rest fairly and quickly. Always follow your operator's procedures and the applicable regulations.
