01 The route that works anywhere
- Get your schedule into your phone's calendar the way you already do: your crew app's own calendar sync, or an app such as Flight Crew View or RosterBuster. If it lands in your main calendar, first make a separate calendar for it (Calendar app › Calendars › Add Calendar) and point the app there, so your personal events stay yours.
- iPhone: Calendar app › Calendars › tap the (i) next to that calendar › turn on Public Calendar › Share Link, and copy it.
- Android or a computer: open Google Calendar on a computer › Settings › that calendar › Integrate calendar › copy the "Secret address in iCal format". It is not shown in the phone app, and a work or school account's admin can hide it.
- Using RosterBuster? app.rosterbuster.aero › Settings › Calendar (under Export) › copy the WebCal link and paste that instead.
Then paste that calendar's link on crew.wings-above.com.
02 Pairing it with the display
- Open crew.wings-above.com on your phone or a computer, and pick your airline. This is what turns a bare "2214 MSP-ATL" into a flight we can follow.
- Give it the schedule. Paste the link, upload the file, or connect the union calendar.
- Check the flights. The page reads back your next few days. If they are not yours, it is the wrong calendar, not a mistake you made.
- Type the six-digit code into the display. Menu › Crew › Setup › Use a code from my phone. It works once and expires in 15 minutes. Then Use as the main display if you want the whole screen.
03 Questions
"Feed returned 404" with a Google link.You pasted the public address (it has /public/basic.ics in it). Google answers 404 unless the calendar is shared publicly. Copy the Secret address in iCal format, a field lower on the same page. On a company Google account the admin may have hidden it.
My family can see my personal appointments.Your crew app writes into your main calendar. Make a separate calendar for the schedule, point the app at it, and share only that one.
"No flights were recognized."Usually the airline box at the top is empty: most crew systems write legs with no airline code. Pick your airline and check again. If it is a personal calendar rather than your crew schedule, that explains it too.
Deadheads show as "riding as a passenger".On purpose. A family reading "flying to DTW" when you are asleep in 14C is a small avoidable lie.
"Home in" shows two dashes.The schedule ends part-way through a trip, so we don't know when you are home and won't guess. Export further ahead, or it fills in once the feed does.
