How Otarosta
Works.
From uploading your roster export — HTML or CSV recommended — to a synced calendar, city passport, and monthly recap — everything explained, step by step.
// YOUR FIRST 5 MINUTES
From account to calendar

Tell us about yourself
- Pick your rank and fleet — these personalise your passport and recap cards.
- Pick your airline from the dropdown, not free text — this is what unlocks your allowance, FTL, and recency tracking, so a typo here silently blocks those features. Malaysia Airlines is fully supported today.

// WHAT'S INCLUDED
Seven features. One app.
Everything unlocks automatically once you upload your first roster.
Duty Calendar
Every flight, standby, simulator, and rest day in a colour-coded monthly grid. Tap any tile to edit or add a note.
Calendar Sync
One ICS link exports your roster to Google Calendar, iPhone Calendar, or Outlook — refreshes automatically every month.
Destination Passport
Earn a collectible city patch for every airport you land at. Your passport grows across your entire career.
Monthly Recap
A shareable card showing block hours, sectors flown, and your top destinations. Export as a social story or image card.
Swap Board
Post a duty you want to give away, or browse what other crew are offering. Otarosta flags swaps that land on your days off.
OFP Brief
Pilots: upload your briefing package and read it as a brief — route, fuel, weather, NOTAMs. It stays on your phone. Reference only; the released OFP governs.
Family Share
Generate a private link for your spouse or family. They get a clean read-only view of your schedule — no account needed.
// WHAT GETS PARSED
Every duty type, recognised.
Otarosta reads the full structure of the MAS AIMS roster — not just flights.
Flight number · departure & arrival ports · STD / STA · pairing continuation
SBY / SBY-H · sign-on and sign-off times · base port
OPC · type rating · ground school — with aircraft type and session label
AL · ML · CL — full-day blocks
Rostered rest periods, public holidays
File format note —Otarosta reads the official MAS AIMS exports — HTML or CSV give the most reliable parse, and PDF works too. Screenshots, phone photos, or copied web snippets won't parse — use a real export file.
