Stretching for Pilots and Crew
Three short, gentle stretching routines for pilots and cabin crew: 5 minutes standing before the flight, 3 minutes in the seat and 8 minutes after landing. One step at a time, with a timer.
General wellbeing tips, not medical advice. Stop if anything hurts and see a doctor if pain goes on.
How it works
Pick a routine and press Start. Each step shows a simple figure, what to do and a timer ring; it moves on by itself, or use Previous and Next. Pause any time. Breathe slowly and keep every movement easy.
Frequently asked questions
›Is the seat routine safe in a cockpit?
It is made for a seated, strapped-in position: no standing, no leaving the seat, small movements away from the controls and pedals. Do it only at a quiet moment when your duties allow.
›Does it work without internet?
Yes. The routines are part of FL340, so in the app they open and play with no signal. Nothing is sent to us; the last routine you finished is remembered on your device only.
›Is this medical advice?
No. These are general wellbeing tips. Move gently, stop if anything hurts, and see a doctor if pain goes on.
