Roadmap & changelog.
New builds go out most weeks. Here is what has landed and what is queued behind it.
The road ahead
What we're building.
Directional, not a commitment. The order changes whenever enough crews tell us it should, so read this as intent rather than dates.
- In progress
EDCT straight from the FAA's feed
A controlled departure time is scraped today from a lookup form that answers only when asked. The replacement subscribes to the FAA's own traffic-management feed, which pushes the assignment and every revision the moment it is made. Built; waiting on the subscription being approved.
- Planned
Richer inbound turn-ops
Gate-out actual against scheduled, EDCT, and conditions at the departure field, all on the inbound sheet. Enough to call a tight turn before anyone announces one.
- Planned
More airlines
Learned parser profiles mean a new carrier is days of work rather than months. The queue is ordered by how many crews are waiting on it.
- Planned
Android parity
The full feature set on Android. Right now half your crew can't see what you're looking at.
- Exploring
Deeper assistant actions
Letting the assistant actually do the thing: set the reminder, file the bid, not just answer questions about them. Still grounded only in your own data.
Recently shipped
What's new.
Every notable update to FlightCrewPro, newest first.
August 17, 2026
- New
Profile photos
Your own face on your cards instead of your initials, everywhere crew see each other. It is reciprocal like everything else here: hide yours and other crew's are hidden from you.
- New
Calendar feeds you can link
Paste a subscribable schedule feed, or upload the .ics your airline gives you to download, and the server re-reads it every fifteen minutes. It behaves exactly like a phone calendar in the picker, and it needs no calendar permission at all.
- New
Van time, shared across the rotation
When the airline gives one crew member the pickup time, everyone on the pairing gets it. It shows beside the drive estimate rather than replacing it — when the van leaves and how long the road takes are two different facts.
- New
Paydays on your schedule
Tell us the cycle you're on, biweekly off an anchor date or the 1st and the 15th, and your pay dates get plotted alongside your flying.
- Improved
Bug reports that fix themselves
A report you send now gets triaged, diagnosed and, when the fix carries a test that failed before it and both suites stay green, shipped without anyone reading it. Anything touching a native build still goes to a human.
August 14, 2026
- New
The commute board
Every carrier's flights between home and base for the hours ahead, with one-stop connections built server-side on live times and your own airline preferred on the onward leg. When your trip reports at the other end, each option shows the cushion it leaves you.
- New
Delay forecast for your whole line
Dial a delay into any leg in the next two weeks and see where it lands: which duty period gives way first, by how much, and what it does to your rolling windows. Every outcome is scored on the server before you touch the slider.
August 12, 2026
- New
Find crew in your contacts
Matching runs entirely on your phone. Your address book never reaches us, raw or hashed, and the server never learns which of your contacts matched.
August 6, 2026
- New
Every event on the leg
Aircraft assigned, aircraft swapped, held, returned to the gate, diverted, un-diverted, cancelled. Each one is now a durable record rather than a cached flag, so it is announced once and never re-pages you later.
- Improved
Flight alarm, rebuilt
The alarm screen was redesigned around the one thing it has to get right: what time it is going to wake you, and off which report.
August 2, 2026
- New
The jet you're on
Tap the aircraft on any leg for the airframe itself: age, delivery date, serial, engines, the production line it came off, and a photograph of that exact tail.
- Improved
Flights that tell us, instead of us asking
Status changes on your legs now arrive pushed rather than polled, which gets a gate change or a cancellation to you sooner.
July 31, 2026
- New
In an emergency
On the layover screen: what to dial where you are standing, and your own country's consulates near that station, listed home-country first.
- Improved
Getting out of the airport
The airport hub now carries how crews actually leave each field, alongside the access points and taxi times already there.
July 30, 2026
- New
Flight brief
One sheet per leg answering what is holding it up: the FAA-assigned EDCT, the delay programs running at both stations, and each end's METAR and TAF down to the raw text.
July 29, 2026
- New
Alerts that earn the interruption
Every push is now scored before it is sent, against where you are in your duty day, how far out the thing is, and what you have actually opened before. What doesn't clear the bar waits in the app. Safety-critical alerts always go, and you can set the sensitivity yourself.
- New
Cumulative limits
The rolling windows behind the duty day: flight time and duty accumulated against the §117.23 caps, plus a projection of how high the rest of your roster will push them. It also tells you how much history that projection is standing on.
July 24, 2026
- New
Friends & presence
Crew connections are now genuine two-way friendships, with a request and an accept. The new presence hub shows which of them are in the air, on the ground, or sitting out a layover. Ghost Mode takes you off it.
- New
Family sharing
Share your flights with the people at home. They get a live view of your day plus departure, arrival and diversion alerts, with no account and no access to your roster. You choose what each person sees.
- New
Friend schedules
See the upcoming schedule of any friend who shares theirs. It's reciprocal: you show yours to see theirs.
- New
Flight alarms
An automatic wake-up alarm before every report time, set from your schedule the moment it lands.
- New
Tarmac delay rules
Every flight now carries its DOT tarmac card with the 3- and 4-hour limits and what's owed at each. Once a delay starts running, the clock anchors to actual out and in times.
- New
Deadhead check-in reminders
A nudge when the check-in window opens on a deadhead leg, so a positive-space seat never goes unclaimed.
- Improved
Horizon design rollout complete
The refreshed look now covers every screen, including rebuilt Duty Day and Trip Overview. Scheduled times read gray throughout, actuals green or red.
July 21, 2026
- New
Appearance & accent color
Light and dark modes, plus an accent colour you can set to your airline's or one of the presets. It carries through every screen.
- New
Crew rest planner
On a long-haul leg, set your services and see the rest breaks that fall between them, each checked against the one-hour §121.467 minimum.
- Improved
Privacy audience controls
Discovery and follows now read as nobody / crew you've flown with / everyone, with per-field control over whether your email, handle, or employee ID is searchable.
- Improved
Timezone-labeled clocks
Every schedule time now names the zone it's in, so a departure never reads ambiguously as you travel across theaters.
July 19, 2026
- New
Crew on your layovers
Upcoming layovers you share with crew you mutually follow: same city, overlapping time, one tap to connect.
- Improved
Reciprocal privacy, enforced server-side
Every way you're visible to other crew is now give-and-get: opt out of a surface and you drop out of others' views and see no one there. Applied to search, presence, messaging, and no-fly sharing.
July 9, 2026
- New
Bid reminders
Set your monthly bid window once. You'll get nudged before the deadline and again the minute your awarded schedule posts.
- New
Airport taxi & delay trends
Typical taxi-out and taxi-in times and a live delay index for each airport, in the Airport Hub.
July 4, 2026
- New
Track your inbound aircraft
Follow the jet becoming your next flight through its full rotation, with a live ETA and gate-to-gate timing so you know if the turn is tight.
- Improved
Near real-time schedule sync
Roster changes now reach your device within seconds, reading a freshly-synced calendar instead of a stale cache.
July 1, 2026
- New
Public beta
The first release: schedule sync & parsing, a FAR 117 duty-day monitor, live flight tracking, Live Activities, every flight's story, FAA delay & EDCT watch, crew follows / DMs / chat, private crew notes & no-fly list, hotel insights & reminders, crew access points (CMAP), aviation weather, and full offline support.
