777Buddy vs Blue Deck

This is a combination of several small apps I have written over the years to help operate the B777 aircraft. The values used are specific to a particular fleet of 96 aircraft that resulted from a big merger in 2012, think DEN/IAH. It works on the iPad, but looks better on the iPhone.

Used by United Airlines pilots—but created for pilots at every level, from student and general aviation pilots to career professionals—Blue Deck was designed and built by an airline captain after 26 years of professional flying and firsthand experience with the limitations of existing digital logbooks. Blue Deck offers a powerful alternative to the traditional logbook subscription model without sacrificing quality, intelligence, or functionality. Explore Blue Deck’s major features with a free Demo that never expires and places no limit on your total flight hours—you can add, import, and work with up to 100 flight records before choosing Full Blue Deck. UNMATCHED UNITED AIRLINES CCS+ SUPPORT Blue Deck brings together Calendar Sync, Flight Time History, and Logbook data—preserving available schedules, trips, crews, aircraft, tails, seats, landings, and flight times while identifying deadheads and schedule changes. IMPORT INTELLIGENTLY. EXPORT FREELY. STAY IN CONTROL. Blue Deck goes far beyond a basic column-for-column import. Purpose-built profiles for leading electronic logbooks, intelligent field mapping, and carefully designed review tools keep you in control, allowing you to resolve aircraft, airports, pilots, duplicates, and uncertain data before anything is written to your logbook. And Blue Deck never holds your records hostage: if you decide to leave, destination-specific exports make it easy to take your data to multiple other logbook formats. PILOTS NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE “I had long resigned myself to the fact that my logbook wouldn't be kept up to date like before … but here we are with a solution that is very pilot-friendly and flexible enough to work the way I want to organize my data. With the dummy-proof data import and medxpress report generator, there's no excuse not to have an up to date logbook anymore.” “I have had the opportunity to use Blue Deck for a few weeks now and have been super impressed. It is very feature rich and user friendly. Seamlessly downloads data from CCS+ and auto fills everything. Import/Export/Reports are robust. Everything is very intuitive.” WHY PILOTS CHOOSE BLUE DECK • One purchase, lifetime logbook ownership The version you purchase and every local database remain yours.
