## What is Logbird?

YOUR LOGBOOK, YOUR DATA

Logbird is a personal pilot logbook for commercial, private, and student pilots who want full control of their flight data — without an account, a server, or a subscription they can't escape.

Every flight stays on your iPhone or iPad. Optional iCloud sync goes through YOUR Apple ID, never our servers. We have no servers.

LOG IN SECONDS

• Quick log or detailed form
• Auto-detect aircraft type from registration
• Roster import: photo OCR, text, ICS, or CSV
• Crew names autocomplete from your history
• Today's Sectors — where you are in the duty day

FDP SIMULATOR

Sit in crew transport, a delay rolls in, and Logbird tells you exactly where you stand.

• Tap any upcoming flight → simulator opens with that duty pre-loaded
• Slide the delay 0–8 hours, watch the projection update live
• Three budgets: under cap, with commander's discretion, hard ceiling
• Real published tables — EASA Table 2 (acclimatised), Table 15 (planned extension), Tables 13–14 (unknown / FRM), CS-FTL.1.205(b) augmented crew Class 1/2/3, FAA Part 117 Tables B and C
• Auto-detects long-haul → 3-pilot crew default
• Operator-specific report-before-STD configurable
• Live drift banner on the dashboard when a duty is projected to bust the cap

TRACK WHAT MATTERS

• Rolling 7, 28, 90, 365 day flight time vs FTL caps
• EASA ORO.FTL and 14 CFR Part 117 frameworks built-in
• Customisable currency rules — landings, IFR approaches, type recency, MFF cross-fleet
• Day Shape: visualise your duty arc, on-block by on-block
• Day/night landings auto-counted by sunset and sunrise

KNOW YOUR CAREER

• Career totals, projections, year-on-year comparison
• Circadian Fingerprint — on-time rate by hour-of-day
• Top airports, top routes, top crew
• Fleet recency — every airframe flown, days since last
• Punctuality analytics by route and aircraft type

THE CREW YOU FLY WITH

• Every captain, F/O, cabin crew you have shared a flight with
• Mutual flight count, hours together, route history
• "What I remember" memory notes per person
• Pin your regulars to the top

EXPORT EVERYTHING

EASA PDF, FAA PDF, Excel (.xlsx), CSV, JSON backup. Restore on any device.

YOUR DOCUMENTS

• Track medical, licence, passport, English proficiency, type ratings, line checks
• Notifications 30, 7, and 1 day before expiry
• Optional daily log reminder

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• On-device only — flights stored in IndexedDB
• No tracking, no ads, no analytics
• No email or account required
• No external requests except CartoDB map tiles on the Map page
• Privacy Manifest declares zero data collection
• Works in airplane mode

DESIGNED FOR PILOTS

Preview the day shape, log on-blocks, watch the duty bar tighten, simulate a delay before it bites, start fresh tomorrow. Built for how pilots actually work.

PRICING

14-day free evaluation — full access, starts when you log your first flight. Nothing auto-charges.

After the evaluation:
• Free — up to 50 flights total
• Yearly Premium — 4.99 EUR/year, auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal. Manage in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
• Lifetime — 19.99 EUR one-time.

Premium unlocks unlimited flights, the FDP simulator, all export formats, iCloud sync, full statistics, the Map page, and all future updates.

Prices in EUR are the developer's reference price. The amount actually charged is set by Apple for your region and may differ.

DISCLAIMER

Logbird is not certified by any aviation authority and must not be used as the sole official record for regulatory compliance. The FDP simulator and FTL tracker are guidance only — they model published EASA and FAA tables but do not model split duty, standby reductions, reduced-rest schemes, WOCL sector caps, or rest-frequency limits. Your operator's OM-A is the binding authority. The commander remains responsible for FDP compliance.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.2 — 2026-09-06

1.5.1 introduced a bug that could leave you stuck on one screen. This fixes it.

• Fixed being unable to close the post-duty review. On iPhone its close button was drawn underneath the status bar, where it could be neither seen nor tapped, and that screen was also hiding the bottom tab bar — so there was no way out of it at all except force-quitting the app. Sorry about that. The close button now sits clear of the status bar, and the review keeps the tab bar as a second way out.

• Fixed the same close-button problem on the Missing Data, Duty, Simulator, roster photo import and duty comparison screens, before anyone ran into it there too.

• Airport, crew and aircraft detail views now show a single, clearly labelled back button that names where it returns you to, instead of a back button and a close cross sitting side by side.

### 1.5.1 — 2026-08-29

This update is all fixes. Several of them affect numbers you rely on, so here is exactly what changed.

Roster import
• Flights are no longer silently dropped when a scan garbles a flight number or a day number. Previously a leg could disappear with no warning at all if the other legs on the same row imported fine
• A roster that runs past the end of the month is now dated correctly. A September roster continuing into 1–2 October used to file those flights, and any standby, a month early — on top of the days that really were the 1st and 2nd
• Flight numbers are never guessed. If a scan leaves one unreadable the flight is still imported, with the number left blank for you to fill in, rather than a plausible-looking number you can't tell apart from a real one

Figures you can trust
• Documents on the dashboard no longer show a green "All valid" when none of your documents has an expiry date set. It now reads "Not tracked", so an unchecked medical or licence can't look verified
• Compliance no longer reports "No tracked limits currently exceeded" when you have no duty records logged. It now says which limits were actually checked, and the duty/FDP rows read "Not available" instead of 0h
• The punctuality summary on Statistics counted flights with no recorded departure as on time, so it could show 100% while the punctuality section further down showed 75%. It now measures only flights with a real recorded departure time, leads with how many flights are behind the figure, and says how many could not be measured
• The "This year" panel on Statistics is now labelled on iPhone, so it is clear that it covers the calendar year and does not follow the period selector above it
• Removed the "Last met" column from Currency Rules. It showed "today" on every rule whatever its status, including expired ones

Missing data
• Flights are no longer flagged as "missing role" when the role is recorded as PIC or SIC hours rather than as a separate field. This affected imported logbooks heavily
• A roster flight that hasn't happened yet is no longer flagged for a role it hasn't been flown under

Other fixes
• iCloud sync no longer reports success before the save has actually finished
• Fixed the app appearing to freeze after leaving the Missing Data list, or a Post-duty Review, open and then moving to another page
• The bottom tab bar now stays visible while you edit a flight
• A flight past its scheduled arrival with nothing logged now reads "Overdue — on blocks 5:45 ago" instead of "+5:30", which was easy to read as time remaining
• The Settings setup banner disappears once your profile is complete
• Fixed text that was unreadable in Dark Mode in several places
• Accessibility: VoiceOver labels, keyboard focus and tap-target sizes

### 1.5 — 2026-08-27

New: Duty Hours — track duty, block, night, Sunday and overtime hours automatically from your logbook, no company rates needed.
• Month, Year and new Trends charts
• Compare against your own duty report (paste text or scan a photo)
• Log standby, deadhead and ground duty/training
• Daily allowance tracking

Better roster import: MyFlight import now matches your real duty report far more closely, and brings in standby/simulator sessions automatically.

Also: calendar export now includes simulator sessions, new export for pay-check tools, and several smaller fixes.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-08-03

ixes for reported issues:

• A duty running past midnight now shows as one duty with the correct FDP — no longer split into two halves
• Layover duties are colour-coded in the Flights list, so you can see at a glance when you're staying away from base
• Same-day flights always appear in departure order
• Document edits now sync between devices
• Small fixes to the lock-screen timer and the Apple Watch view

### 1.4 — 2026-07-26

Apple Watch app with FDP countdown, lock-screen duty timer, a redesigned FDP simulator with your own collective-agreement limits, year-in-review share cards, iPad layouts, swipe-to-edit, and a big batch of sync, import, and statistics fixes.
