FAQ
Straight answers
Which airlines’ calendars can I import?
United and Frontier use calendar import. Delta uses the iPhone Calendar. Envoy and any other airline use schedule paste. PilotCommute is not affiliated with any airline. Support varies by airline profile and may change in beta.
Will the wake and leave alarms always ring?
No. Alarms are a planning aid and a backup. They may be late or may not go off. Keep an alarm you control, and always confirm report times with your airline’s crew schedule.
Where does my schedule data go?
Trips, settings, and alarms are stored on your iPhone. To suggest commute flights and show status, the app may send flight numbers, airport codes, and dates to FlightAware through PilotCommute’s relay. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Is PilotCommute affiliated with an airline?
No. PilotCommute is not affiliated with any airline. Calendar import and iPhone Calendar support are compatibility with calendars you already use — not an official airline product.
