GA Pilot Log is a pilot logbook for every Apple device you own. It records your flights, works out your night time anywhere in the world, keeps an eye on your currency, and prints a logbook laid out like your country's paper one.
Whether you fly a turbine single on survey or a recreational aircraft on weekends, GA Pilot Log fits the way you log.
72,000 airports worldwide are built in, times are logged in UTC with local time alongside, and registrations work in any format, from N12345 and G-ABCD to VH-MRP and 19-2627.
One native app for iPhone, iPad and Mac, plus Apple Watch. Your logbook, photos included, syncs through your own iCloud. There's no account to create and no extra server holding your data.
Night time is worked out along your route, minute by minute. Block times fill your totals, distances are calculated for you, and the printed page totals always add up.
Start a flight on your iPhone, or from your Apple Watch with the phone in your pocket. When you stop, GA Pilot Log creates the logbook entry for you, with your times, your airports, the path you flew and the night time already worked out.
GA Pilot Log uses the ICAO definition of night, the end of civil twilight. It works out where the sun is every minute of your flight, along the route you flew, anywhere in the world, so a leg flown into the sunset is split exactly.
Your instructor or examiner signs on your iPhone, iPad or Mac with a finger, Apple Pencil or mouse, and adds their name, licence number and the test flown. Signing locks the flight and records a fingerprint of every detail logged.
SHA-256 4f9a…c21eYour logbook keeps the details your licence needs, wherever you hold it. For pilots under Australia's CASA Part 61 and RAAus, the rules are built in and the dates that matter are watched for you. Support for other aviation authorities is on the way.
A PDF laid out like your country's paper logbook: the Australian CASA layout, the Part-FCL layout used in Europe and the UK (in hours and minutes), or a US layout on Letter paper. Every page has totals, brought forward and to date. Print a financial year, the last 12 months, or your whole career.
3 takeoffs and landings in 90 days, by day and by night, shown as Current, Due Soon or Expired, with a warning two weeks before it lapses.
Mark a flight as your review and the 2-year clock starts. You'll get a warning 60 days before it runs out. Medical expiry is tracked too.
Log each approach with its type (ILS, RNP, GNSS Arrival, VOR, NDB and more), the runway and the airport, and track 3 approaches in 90 days.
Registrations in any format (VH-, 19-2627, N-, G-, C-). Mark aircraft as RAAus registered, store your member number, and total your recreational hours separately.
PIC, SIC, ICUS, Dual, Instructor, Examiner, Solo, Night, Cross-country, instrument and simulator time.
Airports, heliports and seaplane bases worldwide, built in. Add your own farm strips, survey bases and water landing areas.
Saved totals like "tailwheel time this year" or "landings in the Hornet since January". Filter by aircraft, characteristic, date, airport, person or your own fields.
Add time, number, text or yes/no fields to flights or aircraft, such as survey time or max cabin temp. They work in your custom totals too.
UTC times with local time shown beside them. Type 1.3 or 1:18. Time is stored to the minute, so totals never drift.
Add photos to flights, aircraft, people and totals. The flight list shows your route and aircraft at a glance.
Aeroplanes, helicopters, gyros, gliders, weight shift and more. Mark aircraft as tailwheel, turbine, multi-engine, amphibian, complex or high performance.
Totals for the last 7 days to 12 months, and a monthly chart with day and night hours.
iCloud sync shows the last upload and download, explains problems in plain English, and warns you if it's stuck.
Lock any flight, or your whole logbook, so it can't be changed by accident.

General comparison of the market as of 2026. Features vary between individual products.
Yes. Logging flights, Go Fly, night time, airports, custom fields and totals, signatures and sync all work wherever you fly. Your logbook prints in the Australian, European and UK (Part-FCL) or US layout. Today the built-in currency checks follow Australia's CASA rules; support for other aviation authorities is on the way. Until then, you can track your own requirements with custom totals.
Many authorities accept electronic logbooks. In Australia, CASR 61.345 allows one, and GA Pilot Log records the details it requires and prints a copy laid out like the CASA paper logbook, with a certification line for you to sign. Elsewhere, check your own authority's rules or ask your examiner.
On your devices, and in your own private iCloud database, which syncs it to every iPhone, iPad and Mac on your Apple Account. There's no separate account to create, and we don't run a server that holds your logbook.
Only while Go Fly is recording a flight, to log where you started and stopped, the path you flew and your ground speed. It stops as soon as you tap Stop. The path is kept with the flight on your devices and in your own iCloud.
You tap Start and Stop yourself, so the times logged are the ones you chose. If you forget, GA Pilot Log notices when you've slowed to taxi speed and sounds an alarm to remind you to stop. It records 1 takeoff and 1 landing for you, and you can edit the flight afterwards.
No. Go Fly works on iPhone alone. With a Watch you can start and stop the flight on your iPhone from your wrist, see how long you've been flying, and get the "Still flying?" alarm on your wrist too. Your iPhone does the recording, so keep it with you in the aircraft.
iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro running the 2026 software releases (iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 and visionOS 27), and Apple Watch with watchOS 26 or later.
GA Pilot Log is coming soon to the App Store worldwide, for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch.
