All your training in one place: flights, ground handling, theory, tracks, instructor replies and “Steps to the sky”. The logbook stays with you after the basic course too.
The Pilot Logbook is your path to the sky, written down step by step. It is for everyone who wants to grow: beginners, intermediate pilots and pilots who go on to cross-country, aerobatics, speed riding, mini wings or tandem.
Why spend time on it? In five years you will not remember what you did on every flight. The logbook remembers. You see your growth curve: where you move forward, where you are stuck and which mistakes come back. You came for a result, not for a “finished the school” tick. The logbook shows that result.
The demo shows a made-up student: flights, ground handling, steps and an instructor reply. Tap anything: nothing is saved and nothing is sent.
This is the main training ladder, 8 steps:
How to read a step:
Branches never block the main ladder. Each one opens when its first condition is met.
For seasonal branches the logbook shows whether it is the season now.
The instructor sends a lesson: theory or practice, time, place and what we do. The plan depends on the weather:
If the weather changes, the instructor sends a new lesson.
Read the plan and tap Got it, see you there. That way the instructor knows you are ready.
The logbook reminds you when:
A wing check is a service check of your paraglider in a workshop. They check the cloth (does it still hold air, is it still strong), the seams and the lines, and the trim: the exact length of every line.
Why the trim matters. When a wing is made in the factory, every line gets an exact length. This gives the wing its correct shape. Over time the lines stretch or shrink, and not evenly: on one side they get longer, on the other side shorter. The wing moves away from its factory setting, and its shape and angle of attack change. It launches worse, flies slower and can go into a dangerous state, for example a deep stall (parachutal stall: the wing is open but does not fly forward, it only goes down). In the workshop the lines get their factory lengths back, and the wing behaves again the way the manufacturer designed it. It is like wheel alignment on a car: the wheels are all there, but the car pulls to one side.
When to check:
A service workshop does the check. Do not shorten or lengthen the lines yourself. Do not confuse the trim with trimmers: trimmers adjust the rear risers on some wings, and the pilot uses them in flight.
Faster than saving to Files: set up the iPhone shortcut once, and after a flight the track goes to the logbook straight from Open GPX Tracker. No link to copy.
Your personal link is hidden inside the shortcut, so you never type it. If you lose your phone or someone saw the link, tap Change link in the logbook and connect the shortcut again.
Almost every variometer or flight app (XCTrack, FlySkyHy, Flymaster, Skytraxx and others) saves an IGC or GPX file. Move it to your phone or computer and upload it the same way: Upload the track after landing → Choose file.
The logbook helps you learn and stay in touch with your instructor. It does not decide whether you can fly today. The instructor and the pilot decide: by the weather, the site rules and their own level.
Message the school: the contacts are at the bottom of the page. Tell us what you tapped and what you saw. A screenshot helps a lot.
We keep learning and want to build what really helps you grow as a pilot, at any level. What is missing in the logbook? What is not convenient? What would you like to see?
Message the school: the contacts are at the bottom of the page. We read every suggestion, and the best ideas will appear in the next versions of the logbook.
