Squawk vs AviNOTAM

Stop Renting Your Logbook. Own Your Career. Squawk is the professional aviation logbook reimagined for the modern pilot. Built with banking-grade encryption and powered by astronomical algorithms, it automates the complex parts of logging so you can focus on flying. Most digital logbooks trap your data behind a monthly subscription. Squawk is different. You pay once, and you own the most advanced logbook engine on the App Store for life. Your data lives on your device and in your secure iCloud—never on a third-party server. We cannot see your flights, and neither can anyone else. AUTOMATED NIGHT CALCULATION Never guess about Civil Twilight again. Squawk uses advanced astronomical algorithms to calculate your exact night flight hours based on the sun's position at your specific coordinates and date. Just enter your block times, and Squawk handles the solar physics to ensure your logs are precise and FAA legal. LEGALLY DEFENSIBLE SIGNATURES Lock in your training flights with secure digital instructor signatures. Squawk meets FAA AC 120-78A standards for electronic record integrity. Once an instructor signs an entry, the record is cryptographically locked to prevent tampering, ensuring your logbook stands up to any checkride or audit. IACRA READY Stop stressing about Form 8710.

AviNOTAM turns raw NOTAM text into something you can actually read and shows you where it applies. Enter an ICAO code and get the current NOTAMs for that aerodrome, decoded: the plain-language meaning of the Q-code, validity in UTC, active schedules and altitude bands. Anything with a defined area is drawn straight onto an aviation chart, so "circle 5NM radius centred on 375412N 0234356E" becomes a shape you can see.
