GESTIÓN DE AERONAVES (dueños y clubes) • Cuenta corriente compartida, reservas, mantención e historial de horas de tu aeronave, todo en un lugar. tachbook es informativo y no reemplaza la documentación oficial.

About

Logbook

Read full description

Logbook is the pilot logbook that respects your money and your data. Log flights in seconds, always know if you're current, and bring your whole flying history with you — for one payment, no subscription, ever. LOG A FLIGHT IN SECONDS Tap in a flight with smart defaults, or duplicate your last one and tweak it. Aircraft profiles auto-fill category, class and conditions. Everything works completely offline. KNOW IF YOU'RE LEGAL — AT A GLANCE Logbook reads your flights and shows your currency like a cockpit panel: green, amber, red. Passenger day and night (FAA 61.57), IFR — with the self-regain window and IPC logic spelled out — flight review (61.56) and medical (61.23), each with the exact date it lapses and what restores it. NEVER GET CAUGHT NON-CURRENT (PRO) Turn on currency reminders and Logbook notifies you before each currency lapses, so a checkride, a trip, or night currency never sneaks up on you. BRING YOUR HISTORY (PRO) Switching from another app? Import your logbook from any CSV file. Logbook maps your flights, links your aircraft, and shows the totals reconciled before anything is saved. REAL TOTALS, REAL REPORTS Lifetime and date-ranged totals across every category — PIC, night, cross-country, instrument, by class and type. Export a classic, print-ready PDF logbook, an experience summary, or your full data as CSV (Pro). Your logbook is always yours. YOURS, EVERYWHERE Sign in to iCloud and your flights, aircraft and currency sync privately across your iPhone and iPad — and survive a reinstall or a new device. No account, no servers, no ads. PAY ONCE. OWN IT FOREVER. Unlimited manual logging, totals, currency and iCloud sync are free. Unlock import, reminders and exports with a single one-time purchase — no subscription, no account, no ads. Logbook provides computed guidance to help you stay current; you remain responsible for verifying your currency and the accuracy of your records.
