Ditch the paper and go digital with powerful tools built for real pilots: - Digital Pilot Logbook: Log flights instantly and securely. Say goodbye to messy paper logs and track every flight hour effortlessly. Keep track of key events, such as instrument flight time, approaches, take-offs, landings and cross country hours. Never again will you have to page through your paper logbook to see if you can get that next rating or endorsement! - Experience Dashboard: Get a clear overview of your total flight time, instrument experience, night hours, take-offs & landings, plus breakdowns by aircraft category, type, and more. See your entire flying career on one handy page. - Currency Status Tracker: Instantly see if you're current on type, night, or IFR. View expiration dates and get clear reminders on what you need to regain currency. Get timely notifications when currency is about to run out, so you can make sure you stay current. - Built-in E6B Flight Computer: Perform essential calculations anytime. Pressure & Density Altitude, Crosswind Component, Wind Correction, Speed, Fuel Planning & Endurance, Rate of Climb, Top of Descent as well as weight, volume distance and other conversions. - Aircraft Logbook & Maintenance Tracker: Auto-generate aircraft logs from your flights, log maintenance performed and defects for your aircraft. Track maintenance due dates and receive notifications for upcoming or overdue items, helping you keep your aircraft airworthy. - Interactive Aircraft Checklists: Customize and create digital checklists for your aircraft from normal operations to emergencies. Go paperless from startup to shutdown; interactive, reliable and always at hand. It is easy to become distracted during a flight, maybe by other traffic in the area, or unexpected instructions from air traffic control. With digital checklists, you'll never forget where you got to before the interruption. - Real-Time Flight Tracker: Time flights live, then log them directly to your pilot and aircraft logbooks. Flying IFR? Accurately capture actual IMC time with ease. Get useful information, such as your closest airports or distance to your next waypoint. Note that MiniEFB is not intended as a primary navigation source, only to provide useful, additional information to assist with situational awareness. Pilots are responsible for ensuring approved instruments or devices are used for navigation. - Fuel Estimations & Tracking: Estimate fuel quantity and endurance based on your aircraft's average fuel burn while tracking flights.
