Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data backed up anywhere?
No — your flight log is stored only on your device. Consider periodically noting your totals elsewhere as a backup.

Does this replace my company's official flight time records?
No. This app is a personal planning aid. Always confirm your actual flight and duty time against your airline's official records.

Can I import my schedule?
Yes — the app supports importing from calendar (.ics) files and many airline crew-schedule PDF exports. You'll always get a chance to review what was imported before it's added to your log.

How to sync your schedule from Calendar

If your airline publishes your schedule to your device's Calendar app (check with your crew scheduling system — this is often called a "calendar subscription" or "export to calendar" feature), FAR 117 Tracker can read it directly.

First time setup:

  1. Open FAR 117 Tracker and tap Sync from Calendar (in the Import Schedule section)
  2. Tap Allow when iOS asks for calendar access — this is a standard Apple permission prompt, the same one any calendar app uses
  3. If you have more than one calendar on your device, a list will appear — choose the one your airline's schedule publishes to
  4. Review the flights found in the table — uncheck anything that isn't an actual flight (hotels, days off, deadhead legs aren't always marked as such by every airline's feed), and fix any hours that look off
  5. Tap Sync selected to log

After that: just tap Sync from Calendar again anytime your schedule changes. It automatically replaces outdated flights and removes ones that were dropped — always review the list before confirming, since it's pulling directly from your calendar and won't catch everything automatically (deadhead legs in particular often aren't distinguishable from operating legs in calendar data).

If calendar access was accidentally denied, or you want to double-check it's on: Settings → Privacy & Security → Calendars → FAR 117 Tracker should show "Full Access."

Didn't grant a calendar with your schedule on it? You can still import manually via a saved .ics calendar file or a PDF crew schedule, both available in the same Import Schedule section.
