Every flight. Every duty. One clear record. FlightLog is a professional pilot logbook for iPhone and iPad. Record your flights, track your duty time and keep your documents together — from the first entry to a signed flight assignment. YOUR FLIGHT HISTORY • Record multiple legs in one duty, with routes, aircraft, crew and times. • Calculate duty, block and flight time automatically. • Track Pilot Flying and Pilot Monitoring for each phase. • Calculate day and night time from the sun’s position. • Search your flights and review logbook statistics. DUTY TIME AND LIMITS Plan your next duty with a clear view of your remaining capacity. FTL radar shows accumulated hours, time remaining to limits and when capacity becomes available again. What-if duties help you explore future workloads. Available modes include Russia’s Order No. 381, EASA FTL and FAA Part 117. A SIGNED FLIGHT ASSIGNMENT Bring routes, crew and planned and actual times into one record. Add the PIC’s signature on screen. Export the flight assignment and logbook appendix as a single PDF. A pre-send check helps you find missing required fields. Add fuel uplift or write-off lines when needed, with a document number and comment. DOCUMENTS WITHIN REACH Keep licenses, medical certificates, passports and visas organized. Expiry reminders at 90, 30 and 7 days help you prepare ahead of time. Attach OFP, ATL/TLB, W&B, manifests and other operational documents to your flights. For a ramp check, create a PDF with credentials, recency and cumulative limits. The exported file is available offline. TOOLS FOR THE WORKING PILOT Use E6B calculators for runway wind, fuel, mass, unit conversions and altitude corrections. Mark flight events from Apple Watch and see your current flight on the Lock Screen with Live Activity. YOUR LOGBOOK, ACROSS YOUR DEVICES Work with your logbook offline and enable iCloud sync when you need it. Share a duty with your crew, create backups and protect access with a biometric lock. On iPad, work with your logbook and duty editor side by side. The interface is available in English and Russian. Built for line pilots, captains, instructors and student pilots who want a clear, organized record of their flying.

Log a flight in 10 seconds: hold the mic, say it, and DaPilot fills the entry. Or point your camera at a paper logbook and it reads the flights row by row. Students and CFIs get endorsements, signatures, and a Part 61 checkride reference. Part 121/135 pilots get FAR 117 duty and rest — now free. TRY IT FREE New pilots get 10 voice entries and 5 logbook scans — no subscription required. Log a few real flights, then decide. AI VOICE LOGGING • "ORD to DFW, block out 09:15, block in 11:45, one ILS, all PIC." That's a complete entry. • DaPilot fills the aircraft, times, approaches, and crew role; uncertain values are flagged and nothing saves until you confirm. • 10 free entries. Unlimited with Pro. AI LOGBOOK SCANNER (Pro) • Frame any paper logbook page. DaPilot reads it row by row — dittos, corrections, T&G vs. full-stop, multi-column layouts. • Works on ASA, Jeppesen, Cirrus, and most airline paper formats. • Every row is reviewed before it saves. • 5 free scans. Unlimited with Pro. ENDORSEMENTS & SIGNATURES (free) • Ask any CFI to sign a flight or issue an endorsement — enter their FAA certificate number and send the request. • CFIs sign in the app, with AC 61-65K endorsement templates built in. • Print or export an endorsement as a PDF for a solo cross-country (FAR 61.51(i)). • CFIs can mirror a student's flight or suggest an edit they approve. • A signature is a record, not a determination — the instructor and pilot stay responsible. CHECKRIDE REFERENCE — FAR 61 (free) • Track progress toward Student, Private, and Commercial (ASEL): areas of operation you mark, plus experience from your logged hours. • Each item cites its 14 CFR paragraph — tap to open the source. • Advisory only — you, your instructor, and the examiner determine eligibility, not the app. FLIGHT CURRENCY — FAR 61.57 (free) • Day pax, night pax, and IFR currency on your dashboard, with days left in each 90-day and 6-month window. AIRLINE MODE — FAR 117 DUTY & REST (free) • Tracks all five §117 rolling windows: flight time and FDP under §117.23, plus the §117.25(b) 30-hour rest. • Enter your report time and acclimation status — DaPilot shows your Appendix B max FDP and §117.25(e) pre-FDP rest. • Every number links to its eCFR paragraph. • Advisory only — references regulatory limits; your carrier's ops specs may be shorter. Verify against your ops manual and 14 CFR before duty. MEDICAL CERTIFICATE (free) • Enter your exam date and class. DaPilot shows FAR 61.23 expiry by class (under-40/over-40), plus BasicMed eligibility. IACRA 8710-1 TOTALS (free) • Totals your hours into every 8710-1 category: total, PIC, SIC, dual, night, cross-country, instrument, CFI, landings. • Filter by date or aircraft. Tap any total to see the flights behind it. IMPORT & EXPORT (free) • Switching from LogTen Pro, ForeFlight, or MyFlightBook? Import via CSV. Export anytime in MyFlightBook-compatible format. No lock-in. SYNC (free) • Sign in with Apple, no password. Everything syncs across iPhone and iPad, and works offline. FREE — no cap, no trial: manual entry, currency, medical, 8710-1 totals, endorsements, signatures, checkride reference, FAR 117 duty and rest, aircraft, and sync. Pro adds unlimited AI voice and the logbook scanner. Advisory: DaPilot is a reference tool, not a determination of regulatory compliance. Verify all duty, rest, currency, medical, and certificate values against your ops specs, your airman certificate, and 14 CFR before flight.
