The best logbook apps for pilots

Safelog is a dedicated electronic logbook that follows the formats of many aviation authorities, including the FAA, EASA, UK CAA, Transport Canada and CASA. For professional pilots it adds duty and block time logging and airline schedule import. Signatures can be captured on screen or from a photo, and the logbook syncs through the cloud.

APDL is built for airline pilots flying scheduled operations. It combines a logbook with legality calculations under 14 CFR Part 117, duty and rest tracking, crew tracking and schedule import. Data syncs to the cloud, and alerts warn about duty status and schedule changes.

Logbook Pro Mobile is the companion to Logbook Pro Desktop rather than a stand-alone logbook. It records flights, simulator sessions, certificates, ratings, medicals and flight reviews, and shows detailed reports. Airline schedules can be imported and added to the device calendar, and everything syncs through the cloud.
