About

Starlog

Features
Read full description

Starlog is a pilot's logbook for Emirates crews and for Maersk Air Cargo crews on Navblue Raido rosters, CGN- and BLL-based. WHO IT'S FOR • Starlog supports Emirates and Maersk Air Cargo. The roster sync, FTL pre-checks and tax tools are built specifically around them. • If you fly for a different airline, the roster sync will not work for you yet — please hold off installing until we add your operator. Manual logging works for anyone, but the app is tuned for Emirates and Maersk Air Cargo today. WHAT IT DOES • Logs every flight, simulator session and ground duty with the exact Part-FCL columns: PIC / Co-Pilot / Dual / Instructor, Single-Pilot and Multi-Pilot time, day and night landings, IFR, FSTD sessions, crew names and remarks. • Maersk Air Cargo: syncs your Raido roster automatically. Sign in once; the app keeps your flights and sims up to date in the background as new pairings drop. Your Raido credentials never leave your phone — they live in the iOS Keychain and are sent only to Navblue directly. • Emirates: pull to refresh and sign in to the crew portal yourself, with your Authenticator. Starlog brings in your trips, crew, layovers and pick-ups, and duties such as standby and sick days — counted per rolling year. Nothing syncs without you asking, and your password is never stored. • Exports a signed EASA Part-FCL or UK CAA CAP 758 logbook PDF — with a certification cover page, your stored signature on every page, and a Grand Total row. Hand it to your accountant or to a new airline on day one. • Tracks your 90-day landing recency. If your roster won't sustain three landings by the cutoff, you get a warning on the Dashboard with the specific date the currency lapses. • Calculates UK tax days. HMRC RDR3-compliant counting: workdays in the UK, percentage by tax year, AOC distribution split between Maersk Air Cargo and any wet-lease operator on your roster. • Runs FTL pre-checks: full CS-FTL.1 for Maersk Air Cargo — acclimatisation state machine, augmented-crew bunk extensions, night-duty sector caps, disruptive stacking — and the UAE GCAA flight duty limits for Emirates, augmented crews included. Shows the rule reasoning, so you see why a duty is flagged. • Reminds you of expiring qualifications. Medical, line check, OPC, every type rating — 90 / 30 / 7 day notifications, all stored locally. • Lock-screen widget and Live Activity for the next flight. A real wake-up alarm for night reports (iOS 26) that rings through Silent and Sleep focus — Apple Watch first. WHAT IT ISN'T • Not a certified logbook system. Authorities don't certify mobile apps, and Starlog is no exception. The PDF is the signed record you submit; the in-app database is your working copy. • Not regulatory advice. The FTL pre-checker is a sanity-check tool, not a scheduling system. Always cross-check against your OM-A. • Not a tax adviser. The UK tax tools are best-effort estimates against HMRC RDR3 / EIM. Talk to a real accountant before you file. • Independent — not affiliated with Emirates, Maersk Air Cargo or Navblue. PRICING • Starlog is free for manual flight, simulator and ground-duty logging, kept on your device. • Starlog Pro (€9.99 / month or €99 / year, with a 14-day free trial) unlocks roster sync (Raido and Emirates), the FTL pre-checker, the UK & Danish tax tools, and the signed EASA / UK CAA logbook PDFs. • Subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. PRIVACY • Your flights live on your device. If you sync between your own devices, they are end-to-end encrypted — we can't read them. • Our servers hold your email and subscription status, plus that encrypted sync data if you turn sync on. • No ads. No analytics. No third-party trackers. • Full privacy policy: starlogbook.com/privacy • Terms of Use (EULA): starlogbook.com/terms Built by Jacob Baagø.
