NMDC Field Notes vs Flight Log

Notice: Due to a shift in program budget and priorities for 2026, the NMDC is not actively developing or maintaining the Field Notes Mobile App. Please visit the NMDC website for more information about our other products to submit, access and share microbiome data. --- NMDC Field Notes is an iOS/iPadOS app microbiome researchers can use to record metadata about the biosamples they collect while they are working in the field. It is a mobile alternative to the browser-based NMDC Submission Portal web app, designed specifically to streamline the process of documenting metadata at the time of biosample collection. Its features (all of which were designed in collaboration with microbiome researchers) include: ORCID login, entry of study and biosample metadata, one-tap entry of user information, geographical coordinates, and dates, user interface forms that are dynamically generated from a LinkML schema, and automatic syncing of study and biosamples metadata with the NMDC Submission Portal.

The pilot logbook built for real operations. FTL countdowns, recency tracking, and night time calculations to EASA and FAA standards. Free to start. FLIGHT LOGGING Log sectors with departure and arrival ICAOs, block times, pilot role, crew, aircraft, and tags. Duplicate routes for repetitive flying. Search and filter by airport, registration, flight number, or tag. FLIGHT TIME LIMITATIONS Real time FDP countdown with colour-coded gauge (safe / warning / critical). Supports EASA Air Ops (ORO.FTL) and FAA 14 CFR Part 117 including augmented crew tables, split duty, commander's discretion, and acclimatisation states. 7 day, 28 day, and 12 month cumulative limit tracking. FDP alerts work even in Do Not Disturb. RECENCY & CURRENCY Automatic day/night currency (FAA §61.57) and IFR approach currency. EASA Part FCL.060 compliance. Visual status: green Current, red Lapsed. Shows exactly how many takeoffs, landings, or approaches you still need. NIGHT TIME CALCULATION Astronomically precise night computation using Spencer (1971) along the great circle route. Multiple definitions: EASA civil, FAA logbook night, FAA recency night. Polar day/night handled. CERTIFICATE TRACKING Add medicals, type ratings, LPCs, passports, and custom certificates. Expiry countdowns at 60, 30, 7, and 1 day local notifications even on new devices after iCloud restore. CAREER STATISTICS & GOALS Lifetime block hours, PIC time, night hours, and sector counts. Set ATPL, PIC, IFR, night, and multi engine milestones and track your progress. AVIATION WEATHER METAR and TAF auto loaded from your last flight's airports or home base no typing required. EXPORT TXT and CSV exports free. PDF export (Pro) generates an EASA style A4 landscape logbook with summary page, signature, and pilot name. PHONETIC ALPHABET (Pro) Live NATO phonetic and Morse converter type a registration or ICAO code and get radio ready readback instantly. PRIVACY & SYNC Signed in with Apple. All flight data encrypted in your private iCloud never shared, never sold. Works across iPhone and iPad. All FTL and recency calculations are advisory. They do not replace your operator's approved scheme of work or pilot in command responsibility. ——— Privacy Policy: https://flightlog.zukasoft.com/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://flightlog.zukasoft.com/terms.html Support: info@zukasoft.com
