What's New in Fly5by5

1.4.0

October 1, 2026

A lot has landed since our last release: Ask AI — your hands-on copilot. Ask about your aircraft's systems and procedures (it draws on the manuals and documents you've bookmarked), pull up anything in your group's data — flights, maintenance, component times, oil analysis, expenses, member balances — and now put it to work: book, reschedule, cancel, or log a flight right from chat or your voice. Digitize your paper logbooks. Photograph a logbook page or an aircraft document and 5-by-5 reads it into searchable text you can correct, page by page. Your maintenance history stops living in a binder in the hangar. Your airplane, found automatically. Enter your registration and we'll pull make, model, year, and engine details straight from the FAA or CASA registry. Faster flight logging. Pull ADS-B & FlightAware data with one click to prefill route, distance, landings, x-country, night, and suggested tach/Hobbs time. Per-flight expenses. Track landing fees, ramp, hangar, and fuel on each flight — and log a second pilot (SIC) so both logbooks get credit. See the whole day at a glance. The calendar now shows when more than one pilot has the airplane booked on the same day, and booking starts from an availability calendar instead of a date field. Sharper Airworthiness Directive tracking. More accurate AD matching for your make, model, and engine, with the full directive text on your maintenance items. Thousands more airports. Route and home-base lookups now cover every U.S. public-use field — 4,700+. Flying outside the U.S.? Fuel in litres, local date formats, and GST handling for Australian and New Zealand groups. Solo plans are now available to buy directly in the app. And if someone leaves your group, their flight and financial history stays intact for the rest of you.
