Your flying experience, organised. My Pilot Log brings your flights, simulator sessions, crew and aircraft records together in a digital pilot logbook. Log on your iPhone or iPad and keep your records in sync with the My Pilot Log website. LOG FLIGHTS YOUR WAY Record routes, aircraft, flight times, take-offs and landings, crew, remarks and tags. Add simulator sessions, save unfinished entries as drafts, and use return-flight and next-leg options to reduce repeated entry. Automatic night calculations and recalculation tools help you review your records. WORK OFFLINE, SYNC WHEN CONNECTED Keep logging without a signal.
