GenDec turns the most tedious part of international general aviation into a two-minute job. Build a complete General Declaration on your iPhone or iPad, sign it on screen, and send a clean, regulator-ready PDF before you start engines. BUILT FOR FLIGHT CREWS AND OPERATORS • Part-NCO/NCC private and corporate operations • Handlers and dispatchers preparing arrival/departure documents • Ferry, delivery, and charter flights crossing borders SEVEN PROFESSIONAL TEMPLATES • ICAO Standard (Annex 9) — fits one page, even signed • FAA / CBP Form 7507 for US arrivals and departures • European (EN/FR), Asia, and three handler-style generic layouts CDC EBOLA ATTESTATION FOR US FLIGHTS Flying to the United States? Every passenger must sign the CDC Ebola attestation before boarding, and the operator keeps it for 42 days. Switch it on in Settings and GenDec flags every flight into the US: passengers sign the official CDC form on your iPhone or iPad, parents sign for children, unsigned forms print pre-filled for paper, and one PDF holds the flight and every signature for the 42-day record. PASSPORT SCANNING Point the camera at a passport's machine-readable zone and GenDec fills in the crew or passenger details instantly. Photos and passport data never leave your device. EVERYTHING A GENDEC NEEDS • Operator, aircraft, registration, flight number, routing, and stopovers • Crew and passenger manifests with ranks and license numbers • Declaration of Health, customs questionnaire, and disinsection details • On-screen signature capture • Offline airport lookup with a built-in worldwide database SHARE INSTANTLY Email the finished PDF to handlers, customs, or your ops team straight from the app, and keep a record of what was sent. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything is stored locally on your device. No accounts, no cloud uploads, no analytics, no tracking. Optional Face ID lock protects your documents. FREE 30-DAY TRIAL Every feature is free for 30 days. After that, a Pro subscription (monthly or yearly) or a one-time lifetime purchase unlocks document creation and export; viewing your existing documents stays free forever.
