Flight Logging

Every flight logged. Every hour accounted for.

Log flights with tach times, airports, routes, and landings in under a minute. The tach cascade system ensures your flight history stays perfectly continuous — even when flights need to be inserted or corrected after the fact.

  • Auto-calculated flight time from tach in and out
  • Departure and arrival airports with full database lookup
  • Day and night landing counts for automatic currency tracking
  • Instrument approaches and holds
  • Tach cascade — insert or correct flights anywhere without breaking continuity
  • Flight history grouped by month with running YTD totals
  • Squawk reporting embedded in the flight log workflow

Maintenance

Never miss an oil change. Or an airworthiness directive.

Track every maintenance item with automatic due-date calculations based on calendar time, tach hours, or both. When your A&P needs access, just add them — they get access to all the views they need and nothing they don't.

  • Track annuals, 100-hour inspections, oil changes, ADs, transponder, ELT, and more
  • Due by date, tach hours, or a combination of both
  • Time-limited component tracking for engines, propellers, and other life-limited parts
  • AD auto-import — new Airworthiness Directives fetched automatically for your aircraft
  • Oil analysis tracking with lab result history
  • A&P mechanic role — your mechanic gets their own access to view and update records
  • Dashboard alerts for items due within 10 hours or 10 days
  • Completion history with date, tach, and notes for every item

Pilot Currency

Know your currency status at a glance.

5-by-5 automatically tracks your regulatory currency from your logged flights — day, night, and IFR, as well as flight review and medical. You'll always know exactly where you stand before your next flight.

  • Day and night passenger-carrying currency from logged landings
  • Instrument proficiency with FAA grace periods
  • Medical certificate expiration tracking
  • Flight review / BFR expiration tracking
  • Tailwheel currency for tailwheel aircraft owners
  • Color-coded status: Current, Warning, Expired
  • Built on FAA 14 CFR 61 regulatory rule set

Report aircraft discrepancies with severity levels — Minor, Monitor, or Grounding. Everything is tracked, timestamped, and linked to your maintenance record so nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Three severity levels with clear visual indicators
  • Photo attachments to document the issue
  • Full resolution tracking and history
  • Grounding squawks show a prominent alert on the home screen
  • Report from within the flight log or as a standalone entry
