MyTailLog gives aircraft owners a searchable companion to their paper logbooks. Scan logbook pages with your iPhone or iPad, review the records from anywhere, and keep the information you need available when the hangar has no signal. ON THE AIRCRAFT • See annuals, VOR checks, ELT inspections, transponder checks, pitot-static checks, oil changes, and recurring ADs in one status view • Record tach, Hobbs, and airframe readings • Add oil, squawks, and maintenance updates • Carry registration, airworthiness, operating-limitation, and weight-and-balance documents offline ON THE RECORDS • Browse logbook scans and extracted entries • Search a chronological maintenance history • Open source pages beside the structured record • Scan several pages in one session with Apple’s document scanner BUILT FOR UNRELIABLE CONNECTIVITY Sync an aircraft once and browse its records offline. Changes made with a connection sync at once. Changes made offline stay on the device until service returns, then upload during the next sync. MyTailLog is free and open source. There are no ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases. The physical aircraft logbooks remain the legal maintenance record. MyTailLog provides an index and decision-support view; it does not make an airworthiness determination or replace required records, inspections, approvals, or sign-offs.
