Hirundine Pilot Logbook
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hirundine Pilot Logbook is built for how pilots actually fly ‚- not a generic form with a "notes" field for everything that doesn't fit. Mutiple flight types, with proper multi-pilot support (PIC, SIC, instructor), decimal or HH:mm time your way, and as much detail as the flight calls for: block, air, day, night, cross-country, IFR, Hobbs, approaches. Currency and certificate tracking keeps flight review, medical, instrument currency, and passenger-carrying currency in view before they lapse, with photo/PDF evidence attached right to the record. Digital signatures let an instructor sign an endorsement in person or remotely, locking the entry once signed. Export IACRA and EASA-format reports for certification, plus a portable CSV and a full backup - your data is never locked in. Share individual flights or your whole logbook between devices, no account required. Built-in reference data - over 5,000 airports and 7,000 aircraft models, searchable offline from first launch, timezone and magnetic variation already resolved. Add your own aircraft, places, and people whenever it doesn't. Watch your flying history unfold on an interactive 3D globe, or review it in Reports broken down by category over any date range. Every screen designed for dark mode from the start. Your data stays yours: everything lives on your device, no account, no server. Export a complete backup anytime. Built by a working pilot, for pilots. Optional Pro features (unlimited sharing, bulk sharing, free endorsements) are available as an auto-renewing subscription.
