About

Log 250

Features
Read full description

Log 250 is a privacy-focused logbook for iPhone and iPad. Your data stays on your device and backs up to your own iCloud Drive - no accounts, no subscriptions. --- Logbook --- Log flights with full detail: airports, aircraft, crew, route, takeoffs and landings, instrument approaches, and time breakdowns across every category you'd find in a paper logbook. Flight time, night time, PIC/SIC, cross-country, actual and simulated instrument time - all in one entry. Departure and arrival times auto-calculate block time, and night time is computed automatically using real sunset and sunrise data for your departure and arrival airports. --- Limits --- Monitor your Transport Canada flight time and duty limits with rolling 28-, 90-, and 365-day windows. Colour-coded progress indicators let you see at a glance where you stand. --- Times --- View totals across your entire logbook by role, aircraft type, and time category. Build custom filters to answer specific questions - hours on type, night PIC in the last year, approaches in the last 90 days - and save them for quick reference. --- Import/Export --- Flights can be imported and exported to/from a CSV file or directly from a N-OC scheduling system. Log 250 is not affiliated with NavBlue or any airline or company; N-OC is a trademark of NavBlue.
