01 Getting the schedule out of CCS
- 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.
United publishes no calendar export, and Crew Companion was retired in September 2026. If you use ezCCS, Flight Crew View or RosterBuster to get your line onto your phone, the route below works. Then paste that calendar's link on crew.wings-above.com.
02 Pairing it with the display
The same four steps whichever way the schedule came in. A couple of minutes, once.
- Open crew.wings-above.com on your phone or a computer, and pick United Airlines. 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.
Who holds what. A link or a file is stored on the display itself, so nothing of yours can be lost by us. Remove it any time under Menu › Crew. We only ever read a schedule; no airline login is ever typed into WingsAbove.
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.
