How to Set Up TrackMyPilot

Follow these simple steps to get started

JBU uses FLICA for scheduling. You'll export your schedule directly from the FLICA app or website each month.

You'll need to repeat this export step each month when your new schedule is published.

Export from FLICA:

  • Open the FLICA app or log in at the FLICA website
  • Navigate to the Schedule section for the month you want to import
  • Just below the calendar, find the dropdown menu
  • Tap Export from the dropdown
  • Select V2 Calendar (.ics)
  • Save the .ics file to your phone or device — you'll upload it in the next step

If not already done, create an account here →

Upload Your Schedule:

  • Visit the Dashboard
  • Find the Upload Schedule section and upload the .ics file you saved in Step 1
  • Confirm your name and email address
  • Display Setup:

  • Select your preferred Timezone Display. This is where you'll be viewing the information — probably your house
  • If you don't want a clock displayed in fullscreen mode, disable Show Clock
  • If you're not a military member, disable military leave options
  • Choose which photos you'd like to display for each event — or upload your own! How do I manage pictures?

📅 Each month when your new schedule is published, repeat Step 1 and re-upload the new .ics file. Your previous schedule will be replaced automatically.
