Type Out, Off, On and In, and Off Chocks works out block, air and night time, then your FAA, EASA or CASA currency. Your first 50 logged hours are free, and hours you import from LogTen Pro or ForeFlight don't count toward them. An airline pilot builds Off Chocks and logs his own flying in it. He has shipped more than 70 free updates since June. CURRENCY AND EXPIRIES FIRST The dashboard opens on one list: your passenger, night and instrument currency for your authority, plus each medical, licence and rating expiry you enter, soonest first. Below it sit your hours for the last 7, 28 and 90 days, 12 months and all time. THE FLIGHT FORM On iPad the form reads like a flight strip: date, flight number, aircraft and seat, then Out, Off, On and In, with a UTC or local switch inside it. Photograph the ACARS or CDU screen and Off Chocks fills in the times. Your device reads the photo and never uploads it. Takeoffs, full stops, holds, positioning, standby and sim recency each have a field. BRING YOUR LOGBOOK ACROSS Import a LogTen Pro tab export, a ForeFlight CSV or a spreadsheet. The Confirm step shows every flight and your totals before Off Chocks saves anything, and Undo removes a bad import. Night time and currency follow LogTen Pro's maths, and each change to that maths is tested against LogTen's own figures before it ships. For a paper logbook, enter your totals once as a balance forward. PRINTED LOGBOOKS Print pages in a US layout for the FAA, the EASA-FCL layout or the ASA layout for CASA, on A4 or Letter, with totals carried forward and a signature line. FAA pilots also get 8710-1 and IACRA totals. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Off Chocks saves each flight on your device and syncs when you are back online. Undo a delete straight away, bring a flight back from Recently Deleted later, or back up and restore the whole logbook. Export CSV, PDF or a LogTen-format file whenever you like, on the free plan or Pro. HEALTH, IF YOU WANT IT Turn on Health and Off Chocks estimates your cosmic radiation dose from your routes and altitudes, your cockpit noise exposure with your headset, UV-A on daytime sectors, and the load on your body clock from overnights and early starts. Your device works these out. They are estimates for your own awareness, not medical advice. ALSO IN THE APP Filters with totals for every matching flight, bulk select, goals toward your next licence or rating, expiry reminders, and a built-in airport and aircraft type database. One account covers iPad, iPhone and the web. PRICING Your first 50 hours logged in the app are free, and imported hours don't count. After that, Off Chocks Pro is a monthly or annual subscription. If you stop paying, your logbook stays yours to read and export. Off Chocks Pro subscription Off Chocks Pro is available as a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings after purchase. The price is shown in the App Store and confirmed before you buy. Privacy Policy: https://offchocks.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://offchocks.com/terms
