PilotLog is a new concept in computerised log-keeping, for the professional and private aviator alike. Rather than installing software on your PC, PilotLog runs on a remote server on the internet, allowing you to access and modify your log book from anywhere in the world. You are always running the latest version of the software, with no need to install updates. Gone are the days when it was necessary to laboriously transfer your flight details to a computer at home every few weeks, or manually add up your flying hours column by depressing column. Now you can keep your log up to date in a few minutes in hotels, internet cafés, your place of work, or anywhere you have a computer and internet connection. Additionally we offer the ability to add flights off-line using a PocketPC or PalmOS PDA, Symbian phone, Windows or Mac laptop, then synchronise with your online log book when you get to an internet connection. Ideal for logging flights on the flight deck or down route. For those wishing to be able to view their log at any time, it is of course possible to download all your data in a file to view on any computer (including PDA's) with suitable spreadsheet software. This also provides the security of knowing that you can have a backup copy of your data in your personal posession at all times. This facility is in addition to regular server backups, and off-site backups by MJICCS. PilotLog stores all the information required to be recorded in a pilot's log book by the Air Navigation Order 2000. This includes a comprehensive simulated flying log book, as well as the flying log. Data can be printed from both the flying log, and the simulated flying log, in a traditional log book format. The amount of data that you are required to enter is minimised. For example, enter the start and end times for your flight, and PilotLog will automatically calculate the duration, splitting it into day and night hours. This is achieved by using a database of airports which includes latitude and longitude; once an airport is in the database, all you need enter is the ICAO or IATA code, or part of the airport name. Similarly, aircraft are stored in a database containing information such as type, and single- or multi-engine. Simply entering the aircraft registration into your log is sufficient for PilotLog to categorise your flights into single- and multi-engine, hours by type, etc. These combined databases make filling in CAA forms much simpler, as the total hours for any appropriate category of flying (day/night, multi-engined aircraft, aircraft over a certain weight, etc) can be automatically calculated. Entering a series of flights is semi-automated, as data from the previous flight is filled in for the new record. This includes crew names, aircraft registration, and airports (reversed for the return trip). For those with access to an electronic crew administration system, PilotLog can download your planned roster directly into your log book. You can then simply add the missing data and adjust the planned sector times to match the ones actually achieved. Alternatively, you can download your achieved roster at the end of the month, complete with actual block times, and simply add the approriate aircraft registrations and crew names from your own notes. This feature has to be customised to suit each airline. Click here for a list of currently supported airlines. If you work for another airline and wish to have an interface writen to your roster system, please contact us at development@pilotlog.co.uk. PilotLog includes a powerful search facility, allowing you to define your own filter criteria for viewing particular flights. For example:
A comprehensive statistical analysis is available for flying hours. Totals can be viewed for the entire log, by crew capacity and subdivided into day, night, single- and multi-engined flying. Additionally, hours totals can be obtained for any date range, and search criteria applied (as above) to find, for example, total hours on an aircraft type or to/from a particular airport or country. There is no need to enter all your previous flying experience should you choose not to. Pilotlog has the facility to enter your accumulated hours, and include these in the totals calculated by the program. |
