One event per leg, not one block per trip.
SkedPlus+ exports your month as a single solid block per pairing, report to release, with the trip sheet buried in the notes. Drop that file here and get it back as a real schedule: every flight its own event, travel and hotel blocks around it, and a report alarm.
Timings
The alarm is a standard display alert. A calendar file cannot send a text message, so if you want an SMS you need an iOS Shortcuts automation watching the calendar.
Example, with a 1-night layover
Crew & hotel privacy
SkedPlus+ names your whole crew, not just you, on every leg. Strip or anonymize before this leaves your device.
Import onto its own calendar so you can wipe and re-import a month cleanly. Event IDs are derived from the pairing, so re-importing a reissued month updates in place instead of duplicating.
Check it before you import
Questions
What does CrewCal do?
Your SkedPlus+ calendar shows each trip as one long block. CrewCal cuts that block into pieces: each flight, your hotel, your drive to work, and when you're released. Your calendar finally shows your real day.
Why would my family or friends want this?
With one long block, all they see is “gone for 4 days.” With CrewCal they can see which city you're in, when you're flying, when you have a break between flights, and when you're done for the day. The empty spaces between flights are your sits.
Can my family or friends see my schedule on their phones?
Yes. Make a separate calendar just for flying, called something like “Flying,” and add your CrewCal file to it. Then share that one calendar. On iPhone: open Calendar, tap Calendars, tap the (i) next to Flying, then Add Person (Apple's steps). On Google Calendar: open Settings, pick Flying, then Share with specific people (Google's steps). They'll only see your flying, not the rest of your life.
How do I put it on my calendar?
Tap Download after CrewCal finishes. On iPhone, open the file, tap Add All, and pick which calendar it goes in, like your shared Flying calendar. On Google Calendar, use a computer: Settings, then Import, and pick your Flying calendar. On a Mac, double-click the file and choose your Flying calendar.
Is my schedule private?
Yes. Your file never leaves your phone or computer. CrewCal does all the work right there on your screen. We never see your schedule or your crew's names. If you use Add to Google Calendar, your phone or computer sends the events straight to your own Google account and nowhere else. Read the privacy policy.
Can I add my schedule straight to Google Calendar?
Yes. After you convert your file, press Add to Google Calendar and approve the Google pop-up. CrewCal makes a calendar called "CrewCal" and puts your flights on it. It can't see or change anything else in your Google account. When your schedule changes, convert the new file and press the button again (it says Update the second time). CrewCal updates what changed and removes what's gone, so you never have to delete old events first.
Does this work with iCloud or Apple Calendar?
Use Download split .ics and open the file on your iPhone or Mac. Apple doesn't let websites add events directly, so the download is the way in. If you use both, the Google button and the download can sit side by side.
Can I hide crew names or hotel info?
Yes. In Crew & hotel privacy, you can remove the crew list, show only initials or first names, drop employee numbers, and pick which hotel details to show. Handy if you're sharing with family.
Can I make one version for me and a simpler one for family?
You can. Run your file once with all the details and add it to your own calendar. Then change the privacy settings, run it again, and add that one to a shared Flying calendar. It's a few extra steps, but each person sees just what you want them to.
Can I change the drive time or the alarm?
Yes. Everything in Timings is yours to set: your drive to work, the shuttle, the van, and how many hours before report your alarm goes off. Turn off what you don't use. CrewCal remembers your choices.
Do I need an account?
No. Signing in is only so your settings follow you to another phone or computer. Everything works without it.
My schedule changed. What do I do?
Download a fresh file from SkedPlus+ and run it through CrewCal again. Before you add it, delete the old CrewCal events from your calendar, or you'll see every flight twice. Keeping your flying in its own calendar makes this easier.
CrewCal says it doesn't know an airport. Now what?
We get a note automatically when that happens and add the airport, usually within 2 to 3 days. Try again later, or send us a request and we'll let you know.
