MyRoster turns the roster PDF your airline publishes into a clean, navigable schedule on your iPhone and iPad. Built by a working airline pilot, it reads monthly schedules, weekly amendments, flight duties, ground duties, simulator sessions, standby, training and days off. IMPORT YOUR ROSTER • Open a roster PDF from Files, Mail or the share sheet to read duties, sectors, check-in and check-out times, routes and crew. • Import a newer version of the same month and see what changed. • Crew of supported operators can also download their own roster using their employer-issued portal access. SEE YOUR MONTH AT A GLANCE • Monthly calendar with colour-coded duties. • Today view with check-in, sectors, block time, pick-up and wake-up times, and destination weather. • Full duty detail, including layovers. • Home Screen widget and Live Activity for the duty in progress. STAY AHEAD OF YOUR DUTY • Duty reminders and wake-up alarms timed from check-in or pick-up. • Sync to iOS Calendar and export your flight log to LogTen. • Statistics for block hours, sectors, destinations and colleagues. • Annual leave planner and salary estimate. • Captain’s Report creation, handwritten signature, local archive and PDF export for Air Macau Captains and First Officers with MyRoster Pro. • Fatigue awareness: a duty-based alertness estimate that can optionally read sleep from Apple Health with your permission.
