Export your United schedule (CCS+)
The exact print selections to make in CCS+, why each one matters, and precisely what leaves your device.
- What this is for
The CCS+ schedule print is the cleanest way to get a month of United flying into OOOIPilot: every leg, every scheduled time, your position on the trip, and who you are flying with. That gives you two things a scan alone cannot - your upcoming trips preloaded before you leave the house, and a scheduled versus actual comparison once you have flown them.
The print screen is configurable, so two pilots can produce two completely different files from the same schedule. This guide gives you one exact set of selections. Print it this way and the file is the shape OOOIPilot expects.
Schedule import is being built right now, and it is being built against exactly this export. A file you print today with these settings will import when it lands.
- Open the print screen
Sign in to CCS+ and open your schedule, then click Print at the top right. A panel of toggles and radio buttons opens. Set every one of them as below.
- Set these exactly
- Calendar: off. The calendar prints as a picture, so there is no text in it for anything to read. Leaving it off keeps the file small.
- Pay summary: your call. It sits under Calendar in the panel, and it is the only place the pay figures appear. Turn it on if you want scheduled versus actual pay later. Those figures are read on your device and stay there.
- Trip details: on. This is the part that matters. Everything else on the panel is optional; this is not.
- All trips: selected, rather than Current and future trips. Current and future drops everything you have already flown this month, which is exactly the half you need to compare scheduled against actual.
- Layover information: your call. On brings your hotel and pickup times into the app. Off leaves them out of the file altogether. Either way they never leave your device.
- Crew information: on. This is where your position comes from, printed as CA01 or FO01, so nothing has to guess whether you were captain or first officer.
- Include only pilots: on. Keeps the crew list to the flight deck.
- Include deadheaders: off. Keeps it to the crew who operated the leg.
- Convert time zones: Zulu.
- Convert time types: Scheduled.
- Layout options: Full page (7 in).
- Why those last three
- Zulu, not local: a local time only means something if you also know which local it is, and it moves twice a year with daylight saving. Zulu is the same everywhere and never shifts. OOOIPilot stores every time in UTC anyway, so Zulu goes straight in with no conversion and no guess. LBT is at least consistent, but it still needs your base to decode it.
- Scheduled, not Best available: Scheduled gives you one time type across every leg in the file. Best available mixes actual, estimated and scheduled times in the same column without marking which is which, so a gap between the file and your logbook could be a real delay or just two different kinds of time. Created is a different snapshot again. Pick Scheduled and the comparison actually means something.
- Full page (7 in), not Pocket (3 in): full page has the widest column budget of the three, so the least wrapping and truncation. Pocket squeezes the same columns into well under half the width, and a truncated time or airport code cannot be recovered once it is printed. Half page (5 in) is a compromise you have no reason to make.
- Save it as a PDF
Print, then choose Save as PDF as the destination instead of a printer. On a Mac or a PC that is in the print dialog itself. On an iPhone or iPad, use the share button and Save to Files.
Name it something you will recognize later, for example United-2026-08.pdf. Keep the file. It is the record of what you were scheduled to fly, and that is the half nobody can reconstruct after the fact.
- What leaves your device, and what does not
The file is read on your phone, tablet or Mac. The file itself is never uploaded, and we never keep a copy of it.
Out of everything in that print, this is what becomes part of your logbook and therefore syncs to your own private account, which only you can see:
- The date of each leg
- The flight number
- The departure and arrival airports
- The scheduled out and in times, in Zulu
- The aircraft type for the leg
- Your own position on the trip, captain or first officer
- The other pilot's name, at the level you choose
Everything else is read on your device and stays there:
- Hotel names and confirmation numbers
- Crew transport, limo and pickup instructions and times
- Pay summary figures - guarantee, pay time, TAFB and per diem
- Employee numbers, yours and everybody else's
- Pairing numbers and the internal structure of the pairing
So the only thing in that file about another human being that ever leaves your phone is the other pilot's name, and you choose whether even that does. The default is last name only. You can switch it to the full name, or turn it off and keep no crew name at all. Your crew never agreed to anything here, so the private option is the one that is on unless you change it.
- Send us a sample and it gets better faster
If you send us one of these, your fleet works properly on day one instead of after a round of guessing. Email it to support@oooipilot.com.
A file you email us has, by definition, left your device, because you sent it. So print the sample with two of the settings changed:
- Crew information: off. No names, no employee numbers, nobody else's data.
- Layover information: off. No hotels, no confirmation numbers, no pickup instructions.
Leave everything else exactly as above. What we need is the structure of the trip details and the times, not the people. If you would rather black out a full file yourself and send that, it works just as well - tell us what you removed, so a redaction is not read as a missing field.
- Other airlines
This guide is specific to United and CCS+. Other carriers publish schedules through completely different systems, and we are not going to pretend we know what yours prints until we have seen it.
If you fly for somebody else, email support@oooipilot.com and tell us what your portal is and what its print or export screen offers. Each carrier gets its own guide, written exactly like this one: the precise selections, and a plain list of what stays on your phone.
