All pilots must document their flight-time in the personal logbook. The time is logged as hours and minutes and summed up at the end of every page. This calculator is designed to easily sum up flight time given in the format hh:mm. Ordinary calculators only work on decimals and it is always tricky to sum up lots of log-entries correctly. Simply enter the flight hours-minutes line by line and the calculator adds them. * Edit single flight time line. * Erase single flight time line. * ADD - SUBSTRACT flight times * Slide your finger over the time to delete digit by digit. * Enter your departure and arrival time (ZULU) to calculate your flight time. Available for Iphone / Ipad
