Skyden is a pilot logbook for iPhone and iPad. Log a flight in seconds, track your hours and currency, and export your logbook as a PDF for EASA, FAA, UK CAA and more. It also brings back the flights worth remembering, like your first solo or your 50th airport. LOG A FLIGHT IN SECONDS Skyden fills in aircraft, airports, times, and crew as you go. Show times in hours and minutes or in decimal hours. It works offline in the cockpit, at a remote airfield, or between sectors, and syncs your logbook across your devices. Log airplanes, helicopters, and gliders. IMPORT YOUR EXISTING LOGBOOK Bring your flights over from LogTen, ForeFlight, FlyLog, PILOTLOG, Swift Logbook, Carnet.aero, FlightLog, SkyDemon, spreadsheets, and supported airline rosters. MEMORIES Skyden goes through your logbook and brings back the flights worth remembering, from a first or a milestone to a trip drawn on the map. New memories arrive as you keep flying. Add photos or videos to a flight and its memory opens with them, or make a card to share. SEE WHERE YOU HAVE FLOWN View every airport and route on one map. Trends show your flight time, landings, cross-country hours, aircraft, and more. EXPORT YOUR LOGBOOK Create PDF logbooks for EASA, FAA, TCCA, UK CAA, JCAB, UAE GCAA, and CASA. Print, sign, or share them when needed. CERTIFICATES AND CURRENCY Track certificates, licenses, medicals, and currency. Pilot Status checks your recency for each class or type rating and your flight time limits under your authority's rules. Skyden reminds you before anything expires, and widgets keep your status on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Captains and instructors can sign flights in the app. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Skyden saves flights on your device first, then syncs them securely. Your flight data remains yours.
