BlockTimePro is a pilot-focused companion app designed to make filling out your aircraft’s official logbook easier, faster, and mistake-free. Instead of calculating flight and block times, day/night minutes, or fuel usage in your head, BlockTimePro generates it all automatically. You simply copy the results into your paper or electronic logbook with confidence. From flight planning to post-flight recording, the app keeps everything organized locally—so you can focus on flying while BlockTime handles the math. • Accurate Calculations for Logbooks: Enter show, takeoff, landing, and engine-off times in UTC; BlockTime auto-calculates flight and block times ready to copy. • Day/Night Breakdown: Automatically splits minutes between day and night. • Smart Time Suggestions: Sequential hints reduce typing errors. • Fuel Calculator & Costs: Track start, remaining, consumed fuel and compute uplift cost instantly (kg, lb, L, gal; USD/EUR/BRL). • Flight Planning: Distance, track, TAS, winds, groundspeed, ETE, dual ETA (UTC & Local) with date rollover. • Airport Database (Offline): Import global ICAO dataset for quick lookup (OurAirports). • Offline-First: Flight and plan data stored on-device; fast and private. • Free Trial then simple monthly subscription. Built for pilots who still write in the logbook—BlockTime does the math so you don’t make mistakes.

NavUP keeps your aircraft's aeronautical databases current, with a workflow built for how pilots actually fly: download at home on wi-fi, then write to your panel's cards in the field - even with no internet. TWO SIMPLE PHASES 1. DOWNLOAD - connected to your subscription, NavUP downloads the available cycle (navigation, electronic charts, terrain, obstacles, SafeTaxi and more) and stores it on your iPhone. 2. WRITE TO CARDS - with a USB-C reader and your panel's SD cards, NavUP writes each database to the right card. Works 100% offline, in the hangar or on the ramp. BUILT FOR THE FIELD - Works with no internet when it's time to write - no more being stranded away from wi-fi. - Recognizes each card's role (MFD, PFD, spare) and writes the correct content. - Skips anything already on the card at the correct version. - Integrity check on every downloaded file. - Clean, direct interface in cockpit language. MAINTENANCE - Finds the reports recorded by the onboard computer (CMC/ENG) on the card and lets you send them to the manufacturer straight from your iPhone - by email, AirDrop or Files. - You choose which files to export. Nothing is deleted from the card. - No computer, no cable, no waiting until you're back at the hangar. ORGANIZED - Electronic charts appear as a single package covering all regions. - See the available cycle and what's left to download or write at a glance. REQUIREMENTS - An active subscription to your aircraft's database services. - An iPhone-compatible SD card reader (USB-C) and your panel's cards.
