Read full description

FlightLog is for use with the merlot.aero suite of products. FlightLog app enables pilots to capture the flight log directly into a tablet application, instead of paper within the cockpit. The app is easy to use and saves time for pilots because it will pre-populate with all relevant and known data when the pilot signs into the tablet application at the commencement of flight duty. Offline mode is available to allow pilots to input data into logs while in the cockpit, for submission later once Internet access is available. LOG IN Please use your usual Merlot or company directory credential to log in. The mobile token is available from the Login Center in the top-right corner of CrewPortal, or contact your Merlot administrator.
