Built by an instructor pilot, for aviators who fly the way you fly. Most Army flight logbook apps are built by someone who used to fly. This one's built by someone who's still flying — an active-duty instructor pilot who sees new aviators every week trying to figure out how to track their hours and currency. Log flights the way you already think about them. Manual entry for date, aircraft, mission, duty position, and every time category that matters — day, night unaided, NVG, NVS, hood, actual instrument, combat, simulator. Add tags for gunnery, hoist, air assault, MEDEVAC, or whatever your unit tracks. Never lose track of currency. NVG, NVS, instrument, and semiannual minimums, tracked per airframe, with a clear green/amber/red status so you know what's coming due before it's a problem — not buried three taps deep in a report. Works with zero signal. On the flight line, in a hangar, wherever — the app works fully offline and syncs automatically once you're back in range and between devices. Bring your history with you. Import your existing CAFRS or DA Form 2408-12 records instead of re-typing years of flight time by hand. Built for real record-keeping. Flight summaries, semiannual period reports, and PDF/CSV export for official use. Your data stays yours. Works fully offline — nothing about logging a flight depends on a connection. When you sync, your data is encrypted in transit and protected by row-level access control, so only you can see your own records. Commanders see computed currency status only, never your flight log. For commanders and standardization officers: see currency and readiness status across your unit at a glance — individual flight records stay private, only computed status is visible.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Calc at Free against Low Level's $24.99. Calc also leads on ratings volume (28 vs 4). Low Level's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.9) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
