How Pilot Logbook AI Works
What it captures
What Pilot Logbook AI reads from your logbook photo
Pilot Logbook AI is designed to draft the fields pilots already write on paper. You stay responsible for the final entry: review every field, fix anything unclear, then save.
Dates and routes
Helps identify the flight date, departure, arrival, and route details when they are visible in the photo.
Aircraft details
Pulls out aircraft type and aircraft identifier fields from clear paper logbook entries.
Flight time
Drafts total time and other visible time fields so you can review the numbers before saving.
Crew and role details
Helps capture names, roles, or crew notes when those details appear in the original record.
Notes and remarks
Keeps visible notes with the entry when supported, so context is not left behind in the photo.
Editable digital entries
Turns the photo into a draft entry you can correct, complete, and save to your digital logbook.
Extraction quality depends on photo clarity, handwriting, page layout, and what is actually visible in the original record.
Paper to digital
Built for real pilot logbook cleanup
Pilot Logbook AI is for the practical work of turning paper flight records into editable digital entries. It helps with capture and organization, while leaving final responsibility with the pilot.
That matters whether your records are for training, currency, rental checkout, insurance, airline applications, or your own long-term backup. Different authorities, schools, operators, and employers may ask for different details, so the app focuses on making entries easier to review instead of pretending one automatic output fits every situation.
Catching up old paper entries
Use it when you have pages of older flights sitting in a paper logbook and want a faster first pass than typing each line manually.
Moving into a digital logbook
Start building a searchable digital pilot logbook from the records you already have, one reviewed entry at a time.
Keeping review in your workflow
AI drafts the entry, but you confirm the dates, aircraft, route, time, and notes before saving the record.
Preserving original context
Photos are useful references when handwriting, abbreviations, aircraft identifiers, or route notes need a second look.
Official website for Pilot Logbook AI
Built by a pilot for the logbook work pilots actually put off
Pilot Logbook AI is created by a team of two, bringing roughly a decade in aviation, including airline flying on the Airbus A330, and over a decade of building software products. That mix matters because a pilot logbook is not just another notes app.
The app is designed to speed up transcription from paper records while keeping the pilot in control. AI drafts the entry, then you review the dates, aircraft, route, times, and notes before saving.

Fantastic App
“I already take photos of the aircraft journey log in order to manually transcribe them later, and this app just takes out all the hard work. Instead of waiting a month and having a backlog of flights build up, this app allows me to efficiently log all the information right way. The accuracy is much better than expected! It's not perfect but it is still very accurate. Great app!”

Frequently asked questions
What is Pilot Logbook AI?
Pilot Logbook AI is an iOS app that turns your paper pilot logbook into a digital one. You photograph a page, the app reads the handwriting, and the entry is ready to save in your digital logbook.
How does Pilot Logbook AI work?
Take a photo of a page in your paper pilot logbook. The app reads the handwriting and drafts the flight details, including date, aircraft, route, and flight time when visible. You confirm or edit what it found, and the entry is saved.
What flight details does the AI pull out of my logbook?
The standard fields you'd find on a paper logbook page: date, aircraft type, aircraft identifier, route, crew details, and total flight time when those fields are visible. Anything the AI gets wrong is editable before you save.
Does it work with handwritten logbook entries?
Yes. Reading handwritten paper logbook entries is the whole point of the app. Clear photos and legible handwriting work best, and you can correct anything that looks off before saving.
Does Pilot Logbook AI replace my official logbook?
No. Treat the AI extraction as a faster draft, not an unchecked official record. You should review every entry and keep whatever original records you need for your own regulatory, training, or employer requirements.
How accurate is the AI extraction?
Accuracy depends on photo quality, handwriting, lighting, and page layout. Pilot Logbook AI is designed to reduce manual typing, but the pilot review step is there because logbook details still need human confirmation.
Who is Pilot Logbook AI built for?
Anyone who keeps a paper logbook. Student pilots clocking training hours, CFIs, private pilots, and commercial pilots tracking time for currency or a career move.
Can I export or filter my logbook?
Customizable filters and export workflows are being improved over time. The current focus is fast photo-based entry, review, and keeping your digital records organized.
Is my logbook data backed up and synced across devices?
Yes. Your flight history is backed up to the cloud and synced to every device you sign in on. Your hours go where you go.
Is Pilot Logbook AI available on Android?
Right now, Pilot Logbook AI is iOS-only and available on the App Store. Android is on the roadmap.
