About

Aircrew FlightMate

Read full description

Aircrew FlightMate is designed for aircrew who want a clear and simple way to manage duty and rest times. You can manually input all necessary details to calculate your duty periods yourself β€” or, if you prefer, download your roster directly into the app and have everything filled in automatically. Thanks to this, FlightMate also works as a full roster viewer. You can see all your flights, duties, and important information at a glance. There’s even an option to export your roster to your personal calendar, making planning your life around your schedule a lot easier. On top of that, a built-in fuel uplift calculator helps you quickly verify any discrepancies between expected and uplifted fuel β€” another small but useful tool for everyday operations. FlightMate works on both iPhone and iPad. It’s built by crew, for crew β€” and every piece of feedback is taken seriously. We aim to review and integrate suggestions as quickly as possible to make the app even better for you.
