Logbook.aero - Pilot Logbook 5.22.1

This review considers the Pilot Logbook mobile application associated with Logbook.aero, a tool designed for comprehensive flight data management. The app provides capabilities for detailed logging of various flight parameters, including aircraft type, airfield, flight duration, crew details, and passenger information. It ensures real-time data entry through features such as automatic airfield recognition, flight time computation, and GPS log creation, facilitating seamless integration into the user’s logbook. Additional functionalities include automatic calculation of night flying hours and electronic signatures that allow instructors or examiners to endorse flight entries directly within the application. The offline mode supports logging and reviewing flights without internet connectivity, enhancing usability in varied operational environments.

The reporting features comprise multiple analytical tools—six reports within the app and additional options on the website—enabling users to review their flying history efficiently. These reports cover metrics such as total flight time, visits to different airfields, aircraft types operated, and colleagues flown with, all accessible with a simple tap.

For official documentation, the app offers PDF export capabilities. Users can generate downloadable versions of their logbook tailored to various licensing authorities, including EASA FCL.050, FAA, UK PPL, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa formats. These exportable logs are useful for license applications, examinations, and employment purposes.

License management is another integral feature; users can add details of licenses, ratings, currency qualifications, and medical certifications. The system provides instant tracking of expiry dates with automated notifications to alert users ahead of upcoming expirations.

Data security is maintained through secure cloud storage solutions. All user data is stored remotely and remains immediately accessible across multiple devices—mobile phones, tablets, or web browsers—without manual synchronization. The application offers automatic backups to platforms such as Dropbox and Google Drive or via email (with additional options available on the website and forthcoming in the app).
