PilotLogX - Pilot Logbook

Backups you can rely on. Creating a backup works again: one unreadable aircraft in your fleet could stop the whole thing and leave you with no archive at all. A backup no longer needs a connection either — with no signal it archives what the app already holds, and tells you which of the two it is. An automatic snapshot can no longer catch your logbook half-loaded. One taken a moment too early held a fraction of your flights and still offered itself as a restore point. Before restoring, the app now tells you how many records would be removed. And an archive that is refused tells you why. Hide your hours. A control on Today takes the totals off the screen — for the jump seat, the crew bus, or anywhere you would rather not have your hours visible over your shoulder. Analyze opens without stalling. The statistics are worked out away from the screen, so a large logbook no longer freezes the app while it counts. Your roster keeps up with the airline. A flight the airline cancels now leaves your logbook, with its reminders — that never worked before. A flight that disappears from a new roster is removed too, and only when the file plainly covers that date: a short or failed download can never empty your coming month, and a flight you have confirmed, signed or already flown is never touched. Rosters published in UTC now import at all. Every one of them produced no flights whatsoever. If your roster link has been giving you an empty logbook, try it again. Times read from a roster are right. A night sector that departs at 23:40 and lands at 00:40 is the next morning instead of twenty-three hours backwards. A flight number is no longer read as a departure time. An import that fails says so, and can be tried again. It used to show "no new sectors" whatever went wrong, and then refuse that same file for ever. The background refresh now saves to your account — it was only ever writing to the device it ran on. Your roster link belongs to your account. On a shared iPad, the next pilot to sign in no longer inherits yours. Duty and Fatigue looks ahead. With your roster imported, each cumulative limit shows where you stand, where the roster takes you, and the day you would go over — while there is still time to say something about it. Training and checks, if you want them. Classify a flight or a simulator session — instruction, line check, proficiency check, skill test, type rating, OPC, LPC — and ask an instructor or examiner to sign it on the device. Correcting a signed entry preserves the original and its signature in history. It records what was flown; it is not a substitute for your operator's or authority's own forms. A simulator database, so a device's identifier, type and aircraft type are entered once and reused. Expiry dates now save properly. If you set a licence, medical or flight review date and found it gone the next time you looked, that is fixed. The app respects your text size. Turn it up in Settings › Display & Brightness and the logbook, the flight editor and the dashboards grow with it. Dark Mode follows your iPhone. "System" used to mean "dark after 7pm", whatever your device was set to. Simulator sessions keep UTC times, labelled UTC, exactly like a flight's OUT and IN. Sessions recorded before this update may show an hour out until you open and correct them. Your annual goal tells you where you stand today — ahead of or behind the pace for the date, rather than a percentage on its own. On iPad, deleting a flight now asks first, as it always did on iPhone. On Mac, adding your own airport works. Airport notes now sync as well. Two new themes: Night Vision, and Taxiway — yellow on black, like the aerodrome location sign. And the fields follow your theme properly: several panels were a flat grey borrowed from iOS and looked stitched on. Scrolling the logbook is smoother, particularly through a month with many flights open.
