How to authenticate AIMS eCREW with Microsoft Authenticator for Wingman / AirRoster

How to setup roster sync using SSO and Microsoft Authenticator?

Flying with IndiGo? Use the new on-device setup

Info
IndiGo pilots using the Wingman Pilot Logbook app no longer need the Microsoft Authenticator steps below.

Wingman can now connect to your IndiGo roster on your own phone. You sign in once, on IndiGo's own eCrew page inside the app — authenticator step included — and your roster imports on its own after that. There is no code to type against a 30-second clock, and nothing to re-enter each time.

How to connect your IndiGo roster on your device →
Info
Using AirRoster? The on-device connection is set up in the Wingman Pilot Logbook app — it is not available in AirRoster itself.

If you use both apps with the same email, connect once in Wingman Pilot Logbook and AirRoster picks up that connection automatically — nothing to set up there.

If you use AirRoster only, please carry on with the Microsoft Authenticator steps below; they still apply to you.

The steps below also still apply to other airlines that use a roster system with Microsoft Authenticator.


If your airline is using any roster system(AIMS ecrew, CAE etc.,) with Microsoft Authenticator, follow this guide to resume your auto roster import on both of our apps (Wingman Pilot Logbook & AirRoster)
