Sector is the fast, private logbook for airline and professional pilots. Import your roster once a month and your flying history keeps itself. IMPORT, DON'T TYPE Export a CSV from your airline roster and open it straight into Sector. AIMS eCrew is fully supported, and exports from other crew systems and plain Excel (.xlsx) logbooks import too. Switching from another logbook app? Their exports come straight in as well. Importing the same months again never creates duplicates. NIGHT TIME, WORKED OUT PROPERLY Rosters never include night time. Sector can compute it from the actual position of the sun along your route, flight by flight. SEE YOUR CAREER - Total hours, sectors, PIC and night at a glance - Landing currency worked out for you, with a countdown - Hours against your flight-time limits, with your own numbers - Hours by year, by fleet and by airport, with an hours-over-time chart - Custom date ranges: roster periods, a contract year, anything - A route map of everywhere you have flown, saveable as an image - A shareable Year in review KEEP IT HONEST The logbook health check audits your whole record the way an examiner would: duplicates, impossible times, missing details, quiet stretches. Endorsements can be recorded and signed on the glass. NEVER MISS A DATE Track your medical, license and recurrent checks. Anything due within 45 days pins to your home screen, with reminders before it, or your landing currency, runs out. BUILT SO NOTHING IS LOST Your logbook lives on your device, syncs live through your own iCloud with dated weekly safety copies, and mirrors to a secure cloud backup. Link your Apple ID once and you can recover everything on any new phone with a single sign-in, no iCloud needed. Lose the phone, delete the app, botch an import: it all comes back. BUILT FOR THE FLIGHT DECK - Registration remembers its aircraft type - Airport search across 18,000 airports, offline - Block time works itself out from your off and on times - Overlapping flights are flagged so nothing slips through - A printable PDF logbook in the FAA or EASA column layout - Face ID lock, if you want it TWO WEEKS FREE Try everything free for two weeks. Cancel inside the trial and you pay nothing. You can even preview your first roster import before the trial starts. After that, Sector Pro is EUR 2.99 a month, EUR 29.99 a year, or EUR 129.99 once, forever. Your logbook always stays readable and exportable. Sector is a personal record and a helpful guide. It is not an official document, and you are responsible for the accuracy of your logbook and for meeting your own currency and licensing requirements.
