## What is Flight Time?

▸ Automatic GPS based Flight Time Logger for Pilots
▸ Records Block Time, True Flight Time and Landings
▸ Shows Elapsed Times and Ground Speed during Flight

Flight Time helps you focus on flying instead of noting down take-off and landing times while you are in the cockpit. The Flight Time iOS app is using GPS to automatically log them for you. 

All you have to do is enter your plane's stall speed so that the app knows whether you are flying a Citabria or an F-16 and turn GPS on before your flight. 

Over at the airport restaurant, tap on parked and see all the information you need to fill out your logbook.  Yes, the restaurant is optional, but you need to press parked before you drive away from the airport, so the app can figure out your correct blocks-on/end time.  


Features:

- Universal App for both iPad and iPhone
- Email flight times directly from the app to your student or instructor
- Detects block-off, take-off, landing and block-on times automatically with GPS
- Allows for manual input of flight phases making this app usable even with GPS disabled
- Flight Time keeps logging in the background allowing you to use other apps simultaneously or put your phone to sleep
- Continuously displays totals so far in current flight
- Keeps screen on while app is in foreground
- Displays current ground speed
- Choose Local time or UTC
- Round to minutes, or display with seconds
- Record every landing or full-stops only


Disclaimer:

- Because 'Flight Time' uses the GPS/ground speed to decide whether you are flying or are on the ground, very slow flight during stall training could be detected as landings and very fast touch and goes could be missed. The flight time will still be correct, just double check the number of landings if you do touch and goes, stall training or aerobatic flight when not in full-stop only mode.

- Hobbs (engine running time) is usually slightly higher than block time (time from first to last movement of plane). 

- Continued use of GPS, even when running the app in the background, can decrease battery life significantly (to about half a day, particularly on older phones).

### 5/5 — Muy práctico

*2025-11-25*

Muy bueno para registrar vuelos, sobre todo en aplicación de sólidos con aeronaves que no poseen mvp para la contabilizacion de las cargas

### 5/5 — Great way to log flight times!

*2024-08-08*

I’m using this app for all my flights, sometimes 4-5 legs per day, five days a week. It’s reliably logging block out, takeoff, and landing times automatically with the GPS. The block in time is determined when you press the park button after you have come to a final stop. 

It’s making my busy day easier and I have peace of mind that all the times I need to log are in one convenient place.

### 5/5 — Great app for Ag and FireBosses

*2022-02-10*

I use this app all the time to count the loads while Ag flying. It is very good. Also while water bombing on bushfires particularly in the FireBoss it is great for counting the number of scoops and loads dropped. Good app.

### 5/5 — Great little helper!

*2017-01-03*

This app works great and helps me to keep track of flight times and landings of all my daily flights. It cuts my logbook writing time at the end of each day literally in half. Just a quick look at the daily log and I have all the data for my entries.

### 5/5 — Awesome Update!!!

*2015-10-24*

I am very pleased that the 2.0 update brought an iPad version without me having to buy a separate iPad app like is the case with many other apps.  I usually store my phone away during flights, but have the iPad right there for seeing the moving map anyway and can run Flight Time in the background.   I contacted the developer asking for an iPad version before it was out, and he kept me well informed until the update including the iPad user interface was in the store.  

I keep a paper logbook and only use the app to collect the times, so I really appreciate that the app focuses on that and doesn't clutter the screen with logbook features.  Overall a great little helper :)

### 5/5 — Great App w/new update!

*2015-03-01*

This is absolutely the best, simplest, most reliable app on the market for accurately tracking flight times. In hundreds of hours flight time this app has always worked for me. No unneccessary fluff; just does what's needed.

### 5/5 — TOP

*2014-02-21*

Super App zum Aufzeichnen der Flugzeit!!! Sehr empfehlenswert!!

### 5/5 — Great Little Pilot Helper

*2012-09-23*

Works perfect, the new version supports even gliders (low groundspeed in steep turns into the wind) and UTC time recording!
highly recommended, makes logging of flight times very comfortable, don't miss a single take-off time anymore!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2012-09-01*

I love the new feature to display UTC time. I tried it on a flight from the Bay Area to Lake Tahoe and it worked great!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2012-06-22*

Really useful and well designed app. This will help you measuring your takeoff and landing times automatically. Good job.

## Frequently asked questions about Flight Time

### How does Flight Time log my flights?

Flight Time uses your device's GPS to automatically detect take-off, landing, and block times. You can also manually input flight phases if GPS is disabled. The app keeps logging in the background, allowing you to use other applications.

### What information does Flight Time record?

The app records block time, true flight time, and the number of landings. It also displays elapsed times and ground speed during your flight. You can choose to record every landing or only full-stop landings.

### Can I use Flight Time on my iPad and iPhone?

Yes, Flight Time is a universal app designed to work seamlessly on both iPad and iPhone devices. This allows for flexibility in how and where you log your flights.

### How accurate is the landing detection in Flight Time?

While Flight Time generally detects landings accurately using GPS and ground speed, very slow flight during stall training might be misidentified as a landing. Similarly, very fast touch-and-gos could be missed. It's recommended to double-check landing counts for these specific flight types if not in full-stop only mode.
