• Import your history — if you already keep a logbook in ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, LogTen Pro, Logbook Pro, or a spreadsheet, bring it all in at once from Data → Import. See Importing & exporting.
• Add flights by hand — click + Add Flight on the Dashboard or Flight Log. See Logging flights.

Your totals and currency appear on the Dashboard as soon as you have any flights logged. It's also worth adding your aircraft first (Settings → Aircraft) so the flight form can auto-fill class and equipment.

• Dashboard — totals, currency, and time-by-type at a glance, plus + Add Flight.
• Flight Log — every flight in a sortable, customizable grid, with the bulk cross-country tool.
• Reports — printable logbook, experience summary, the IACRA / 8710 grid, the “Summary by…” pivot, and the recency snapshot.
• Endorsements — store endorsements and request digital CFI signatures.
• Data — Import and Export.
• Settings — links to Aircraft and Profile, plus your subscription. Your Profile (name, certificate, currency dates, password) and your Aircraft both live here.

The sun/moon button on the right of the menu switches between light and dark mode, and your choice is remembered on that device.

1. Click + Add Flight on the Dashboard or the Flight Log.
2. Set the Date (it defaults to today).
3. Pick your Aircraft from the dropdown — its class fills in automatically. If it's a one-off aircraft you don't want to save, choose — Manual entry — and type the Tail # and Class yourself.
4. Enter From / To / Route if you want them.
5. Enter your flight time. Either type the Total directly, or let it calculate from your times (see the next question). Then fill in the role splits you need — PIC, SIC, Solo, Dual received, Instruction given, and so on.
6. Under Conditions & cross-country, add Night, instrument time, and Cross-country. Tick the >50 nm box if the leg qualifies for rating XC (landing more than 50 NM from departure).
7. Under Takeoffs & landings and Instrument, record day/night takeoffs and landings, holds, and any approaches (+ Add approach adds a row for type, airport, runway, and count).
8. Add crew names and remarks if you like, then click Save flight. You're returned to the Flight Log.

1. Open the Block & meter times section and choose a source with the Auto-fill Total from: toggle — Hobbs or Block (Out/In).
2. Enter Hobbs out / Hobbs in, or the Out / In gate clock times (Block correctly wraps past midnight). Total fills in, rounded to tenths.

As soon as you type in the Total field, auto-fill stops and your number wins — a hint reminds you it's set manually. Press ↻ Recalc Total to re-sync from the times. Tach readings are stored for your records but don't drive the Total. When you open an existing flight to edit, the saved Total is kept as-is until you press Recalc.

• For a normal single-role flight, the app derives them for you. Example: if you logged PIC time, your cross-country time counts as XC-PIC; if the flight was dual received, your night time counts as night-dual.
• Only fill them in for a mixed-role leg (say, part of the flight was PIC and part was dual) where the automatic split would be wrong. Expand Role × condition breakdown (optional) and enter the hours.

Imported flights only get this flag when the source file carried an XC distance, so you may need to set it afterward. To fix many at once, open Flight Log, expand Cross-country >50 nm flag, optionally narrow by date, tick the qualifying flights, and click Mark N as >50 nm. The same panel can clear the flag.

1. On the Flight Log, click the flight's date (it's a link).
2. Change any fields. Remember: Total won't recompute from times unless you press ↻ Recalc Total. Click Save changes.
3. To remove the flight, scroll to the Danger zone and click Delete flight, then confirm. This can't be undone.

1. Go to Settings → Aircraft.
2. In the form at the top, enter the Tail # (required), plus Make, Model, and ICAO type if you want them.
3. Choose the Class (ASEL / AMEL / ASES / AMES), Engine, and Gear.
4. Tick any equipment flags that apply — Complex, High-performance, TAA, Tailwheel, Pressurized.
5. Click Add aircraft. It now appears in the grid below and in the flight form's aircraft dropdown. Click a tail number anytime to edit it.

1. Add the device under Settings → Aircraft and tick Training device (sim), then choose its type — FFS, FTD, or ATD.
2. Log flights against it just like any aircraft. Training-device rows are tagged SIM and kept out of your airplane totals and currency, but tracked separately (they show a Sim / FTD column in the 8710 grid and experience summary).

If you have older training-device flights whose FTD/ATD inst. box is empty, the Dashboard shows a one-click Populate FTD/ATD instrument time card that fills them from each session's total time. It never overwrites a value you entered and disappears once nothing is left to fill.

• Day passenger currency — 3 takeoffs and 3 landings in the last 90 days (61.57(a)), tracked per aircraft category/class you fly.
• Night passenger currency — 3 takeoffs and 3 full-stop night landings in 90 days (61.57(b)), also per class.
• Instrument (IFR) currency — 6 approaches plus holding in the last 6 calendar months (61.57(c)). Simulator rows are excluded.
• Flight review — valid through the 24th calendar month after your last review (61.56).
• Medical certificate — validity by class and your age at the exam (61.23).

• Green — current, with the days remaining and the date it's valid through.
• Amber — expiring soon (within 30 days).
• Red — lapsed / not current.
• Gray “Not on file” — there's no source date yet (see the next question).

• Printable logbook — every flight in date order with totals.
• Experience summary — a one-page report for checkride / 8710 prep (experience by class, type time, rating progress, and currency).
• IACRA / 8710 grid — aeronautical experience by airplane class, laid out the way the 8710 expects.
• Summary by… — total time grouped by model, type, tail, make, class, year, month, instructor, or departure airport.
• Experience & recency snapshot — rolling 90-day / 6 / 12 / 24-month totals plus make/model and type time, for insurance or job applications.

The Reports page also shows Time by aircraft type and Rating progress (how your logged time measures against certificate minimums) inline.

1. Go to Reports → Summary by….
2. Pick a dimension in Group by (e.g. Tail number or Model).
3. Optionally set a From / To date range, then click Apply. The table redraws and the URL updates, so you can bookmark or share the exact view.
4. Click Download CSV to save that view as a spreadsheet. (Simulator time is excluded from these summaries.)

1. Go to Reports and open the view you want — Printable logbook, Experience summary, or Experience & recency snapshot.
2. Click 🖨 Print / Save as PDF.
3. In your browser's print dialog, pick a printer, or choose Save as PDF as the destination. Page size and orientation are already set for each view.

1. Go to Endorsements.
2. Optionally pick a common endorsement from Start from a template (complex, high-performance, tailwheel, flight review, IPC, pre-solo, solo XC, and more). The template fills the title and text and drops in your name and certificate from your profile; complete any remaining [placeholders].
3. Fill in or adjust the Title and Endorsement text, and the CFI's name, certificate number, expiration, and the signed date.
4. Optionally link it to a logged flight and attach a photo or PDF scan of the paper endorsement.
5. Click Add endorsement.

1. On Endorsements, expand Request a signed endorsement from a CFI.
2. Optionally start from a template, then write the exact Title and Endorsement text the CFI will sign, and enter their CFI email.
3. Click Send signature request. The text is locked at that moment, and your instructor is emailed a secure signing link. (A copyable link is also shown, in case you'd rather send it yourself.)
4. The CFI opens the link, reviews the locked text, adds their name, certificate number, and expiration, signs (typed and/or drawn), checks the attestation, and submits. The signed endorsement lands in your logbook and you're notified.

Until they sign, the endorsement shows as Awaiting signature in your list, and you can cancel the request. Because the text is locked and hashed when you send it, the signed record is tamper-evident and can't be edited afterward.

1. Export a CSV from your current app — ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, LogTen Pro, or Logbook Pro (a generic spreadsheet CSV works too).
2. In Logbook, go to Data → Import. Leave Source on Auto-detect (or pick your app), then choose the CSV file. It's parsed right in your browser — nothing uploads yet.
3. Review the preview: detected source, flight count, aircraft count, and the first several flights. If a column looks wrong, expand Column mapping and point each field at the right CSV column.
4. Click Import N flights. Missing aircraft are created for you, and you'll see how many flights were imported and how many duplicates were skipped.

Re-importing the same file is safe — duplicate flights are skipped. If an import didn't go the way you wanted, scroll to Previous imports and delete that batch; its flights are removed (your aircraft are kept).

• Generic CSV — every field with plain headers, including the role×condition breakdown columns and each aircraft's equipment. Best for a spreadsheet or any other logbook. Click Download CSV.
• LogTen Pro CSV — oldest-first, with headers aligned to LogTen's fields. Click Download LogTen Pro CSV; step-by-step LogTen import instructions are printed right on the page.
