Getting started

1. Create your account. Tap Sign in and enter your email. We send a sign-in code; it creates your account the first time. You can add a password later in Your account.
2. Fill in your profile. Crew or passenger, then your seat, airline, base and home airport (Your account → Pilot profile). These set the limits we compare with, and your commuting options.
3. Bring in your flights from your old logbook and your roster (how).
4. Check your totals. The logbook shows your next trips and your radiation dose for the last 12 months and this year; for pilots, also your hours against FAR 117 limits.

Where LogAloft Pro is sold, it starts with 14 days free and no limit: you add a card at checkout, and nothing is charged if you cancel before the 14 days end. The free plan needs no card and holds 25 flights or 50 hours (15 flights, with no hour limit, for frequent flyers); a bigger logbook stays yours to see, search and export, and Pro lets you keep adding to it.

Install on your phone

LogAloft is a web app: it installs from your browser, opens full screen like any other app, and works offline for the flights already on your phone.

iPhone and iPad

1. Open logaloft.com in Safari.
2. Tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen, then Add.
3. Open LogAloft from the new icon. Alerts on iPhone work only from the installed app (iOS 16.4 or later).

Android

1. Open logaloft.com in Chrome.
2. Tap ⋮, then Install app (or Add to Home screen).

Computer

Use it in any browser. In Chrome or Edge, the install icon in the address bar adds it as an app.

Bring in your flights

Open the logbook and tap Import. LogAloft recognizes the format by itself and shows what it found before anything is added. Flights already in your logbook are merged, not added twice.

From another logbook

• LogTen: export your flights as a tab-delimited text file and import it. Times, crew, aircraft and remarks come across.
• ForeFlight, MyFlightbook, Logbook Pro, mccPILOTLOG: export to CSV and import it. If a column isn't recognized, you can match it by hand before importing.
• Flighty: Settings → Account Data → Export Your Flights. myFlightradar24: Settings → Export → Download CSV.
• A paper logbook: in Import, choose Paper logbook and pick photos of its pages (the left page, then the right page of each spread; one page per photo, straight on, filling the frame) or a PDF of it. The pages are read on our server by an AI model and not kept. You check every flight before it is added: cells it wasn't sure of are named, and a page whose rows don't add up to its written totals is flagged. Needs an account. A pocket trip logbook works too (one or two days per photo, with the flight numbers, Out/In times and crew names): the pages are paired by themselves; give the year if the pages don't show it. A bare flight number takes the airline your logbook already has.

From your roster

• Calendar link (best): in Import, choose Calendar link and paste the subscribe link of the calendar from your airline's scheduling app (most have one). LogAloft keeps the link and reads it again on its own: every time you open the app and, signed in, every two hours with the app closed (your phone is told when your schedule changes, with alerts on). Your crew app syncs to the iPhone calendar? If that calendar is in iCloud: Calendar → Calendars → ⓘ next to it → Public Calendar → Share Link → Copy, and paste that. You can add several links (a crew schedule and a flight app, say): each flight keeps what every source knows, once, and a leg dropped from one calendar stays while another still lists it. Import → Calendar link lists them, each with Stop.
• Screenshots of your airline’s crew app Pro: in Import, choose the pictures; with no boarding-pass barcode in them, they’re read as crew-app screens (flights, times, fleet and tail).
• Calendar file (.ics) or a roster PDF (a line sheet, or Avianca's Calendario de actividades reales): import it like any other file.

Import your roster twice a month. Schedules change after they're published: legs are added, moved, swapped or not flown, and LogAloft can't know that from the copy it has. Import the roster at the start of the month and again at the end (or after a change). The new copy brings in what was added or moved, takes the newer times, and lists the flights the earlier copy had that it no longer does, ticked for removal (they stay in the history). Near the end of each month the logbook reminds you.

Find my trip

For flights you take as a passenger: in Import → Find my trip, choose the airline and open its trip page in a new tab. Find your trip there with the booking code and last name (or sign in), copy the whole page and paste it back. The flights, times, seats and booking code are read on your device; the page text isn't sent anywhere.

Share to LogAloft (Android)

With LogAloft installed on the home screen, share a boarding pass, a PDF itinerary, a booking email or the text of a trip page from the airline's app, your mail or Files, and choose LogAloft: it opens the import with what you shared.

Schedule changes

When you import the same booking again (a newer email or trip page), flights still to come take the new times and are marked "check". Flights of that booking it no longer lists are offered for removal; forwarded emails mark them "check" instead.

Boarding passes

Import → Find my trip → Or a boarding pass, or the File tab: a photo of a paper pass, a screenshot of a mobile one, a PDF, or an Apple Wallet pass (.pkpass). A PDF itinerary without a barcode is read like a pasted trip page. The barcode is read on your device, with every leg, the seat, the booking code and your name. A pass has no times: they are looked up right after the flights are added (the airline's schedule when the flight is a day or two away, the flight's record once it has flown, otherwise the flight number's usual times, marked "check"). Old passes don't say the year, so the nearest date is used; check it.

By email

Signed in, the Import screen shows your forwarding address. Forward booking emails, roster files (.ics), roster PDFs (Avianca's activity calendar, line sheets) and logbook files (.csv, .txt) to it; we add the flights and reply with a summary of what was added and anything to check. Only emails from your account's address are read. On the 1st of each month we email crew members who keep their roster here, asking for last month's final roster and this month's: reply with them attached, as many times as you like (Settings turns this email off).

From a flight you look up

Look up a flight on the home page (Flight lookup). Under its details, Add it to your logbook as Crew, Deadhead or Passenger. A flight that has flown comes with its times, aircraft and dose; one still to come goes into Coming up, where the logbook finds its times and dose (and sends alerts, if they're on). You confirm it in the import's preview, so a flight already in your logbook is merged, not doubled. Looking it up again shows that it's in your logbook, with a link to open it. After a lookup the page address names that flight, so you can bookmark it or send it to someone.

Scanned and Spanish-language paper logbooks

A scan of a whole spread in one picture works, even sideways: each page is turned upright before it's read. A photo of the whole open logbook works: the pages are found in it (a quick question to the small model), cropped from the table or bed around them and split at the binding, then read as the left and right page. A phone photo is cleaned up on your device first: gray, the uneven light of the photo evened out, and faint pencil darkened. A photo that is too small, too dark or blurred is sent back right away, before it's read. A page the first reading can't read reliably is sent back too, with what to change (more light, one page per photo, hold steady); Use what was read anyway keeps its rows, marked to check. When the problem is the photo rather than the writing, you're asked for a better photo instead of a second reading. A page the first reading struggles with (faint pencil, rows without times, totals that don't add up) is read a second time by a larger model, a spread in one picture then split into its two pages. Logbooks from Colombia, the rest of Latin America and Spain are read by their columns (Etapas, Co-piloto, Autónomo, Total tiempo); a line that lists a day's stops (BOG-PTY-BOG-MDE-BOG) becomes a flight per leg, with the line's hours shared out between them by distance and marked "check". On a printed airline form, bare flight numbers take that airline's code.

By hand

Tap Add flight, type the flight number and date, and tap Look up to fill the airports and times.

Edit, delete and undo

Tap a flight to open it. Change anything and tap Save; block time and PIC/SIC time follow new out and in times. If something can't be saved, the reason shows at the bottom of the form, with a button to add an airport we don't know yet. A part of the flight (PIC, SIC, night, instrument, cross-country and the like) can't be longer than its total time; the form says which one.

Delete removes the flight at once and shows Undo for a few seconds. Every earlier version of a flight is kept, so a sync or an import never loses what you typed.

Instructor signatures

For dual received, a flight review or a checkride, open the flight and tap More → Sign flight. If your instructor is with you, choose Instructor is here: they sign on your screen with a finger and add their certificate number. Otherwise choose Send to the instructor (signed in): they get an email link, good for 30 days, that shows the entry exactly as you sent it, and they sign on their own phone. The entry is locked while the link is out, and the signature reaches your logbook by itself.

A signed entry stays locked. To change it, tap Unlock to edit; saving a change takes the signature off (the signed version stays in the flight's history). Unlocking or deleting an entry whose link is still out withdraws the request: the instructor's link stops working, and you can send a new one after your changes.

Endorsements work the same way. In Reports → Certificates, add an endorsement (start from one of the common FAR 61 texts if you like) and tap Sign. If you change its text after sending the link, a signature made on the earlier text comes back marked to send again.

Cosmic radiation, explained

In short, the questions crews and travelers ask most. The full article, with its sources: Cosmic radiation, explained.

What is cosmic radiation?

Particles from exploding stars and other sources far outside the solar system, mostly protons, arriving all the time. When they hit the air they break into a shower of neutrons and other particles. The atmosphere stops most of it before the ground, but at cruise altitude the dose rate is about a hundred times what you get at sea level.

Is it harmful?

It's ionizing radiation: it can damage DNA, and over many years it adds a small amount to the chance of cancer. There are no symptoms at these doses. A passenger's trips add very little; crew collect more radiation than nuclear plant workers, and an unborn child is more sensitive, which is why the pregnancy limit is 1 mSv.

Why does a busy Sun mean less radiation?

The Sun's wind carries its magnetic field around the solar system and deflects part of the cosmic rays before they reach Earth. Near the peak of its 11-year cycle that shield is strongest, so doses are lower; as the Sun quiets toward the next minimum, around 2030, the same flights get a little more each year. On New York–London the difference between solar minimum and maximum is about 40%.

What are solar storms, and do they add radiation?

Flares and eruptions on the Sun. Their light and X-rays never reach cruise altitude, and most of their particles are too weak to change your dose. A few times a decade an energetic one raises the dose on polar routes for hours, and airlines may fly lower or away from the poles. LogAloft shows on each flight whether a storm added anything.

How does it compare with an X-ray?

Both are counted the same way, in sieverts. A New York–London flight is about 0.03 mSv, a third of a chest X-ray (0.1 mSv); a year of flying as crew is about 2 to 3 mSv. The difference: an X-ray is one dose for a reason, while cosmic radiation adds up flight after flight over a career.

Can I protect myself from it?

Not with shielding: stopping it takes meters of water or concrete, and no clothing helps. What works is knowing your dose and managing it: the routes, altitudes and hours you fly, a mix of high- and low-dose flying, planning a pregnancy, and the rare severe solar storm. That's what LogAloft is for.

How LogAloft works it out: see “Doses: flown and estimated” below.

Doses: flown and estimated

LogAloft works out cosmic radiation with the FAA's CARI-7A model, from the path the aircraft flew, its altitude minute by minute, and the sun's activity that day.

• Flown: from the flight's real track. For a normal flight this is as good as the model, about ±20%.
• Estimate (marked est.): for future flights, flights without a track, and lookups without an account. It uses the route the flight usually flies, or the one a dispatcher would plan for that day's winds, and usual cruise levels. Estimates are usually within 10–15% of the flown dose.
• Small airplanes (a C172, a PA-28, a Baron…): a training flight (dual, solo, or a local flight back to the same field) is worked out 3,000 ft above the field, maneuvering within 30 nm of it; other flights at the type's service ceiling less 3,000 ft, as far as the time flown allows. Type the levels on the flight if you know them.

After a flight lands, its flown track replaces the estimate by itself when your plan allows it. Free accounts get the flown track of every flight between US airports (filled in by itself after landing) and of 2 other flights a month; Pro gets every flight's.

Alerts and pregnancy

Under your totals, the logbook warns you when planned flights would take your 12-month dose past a level of the limits you compare with. It also warns you when NOAA reports or forecasts a solar radiation storm around a high-latitude flight in the next three days, since the estimates don't include one. In Settings you can track a declared pregnancy: your dose since that day against 1 mSv, and each month against 0.5 mSv. That date stays on your device.

Compare trips before a bid

Reports → Radiation → Compare trips by dose: paste the trips you are choosing between, one a line (A019: JFK-MAD-JFK). Each leg is estimated for the month you pick, and the trips are listed lowest dose first. With pregnancy tracking on, each shows how much of what is left of 1 mSv it would use.

A record others can check

Reports → Radiation prints your record by month and year, with your career total so far and a projection to the year you choose. Signed in, the printed record carries a 12-character code. Anyone you give it to can enter it at logaloft.com/verify to see the period, flights, dose by year and fingerprint that LogAloft kept when the record was made.

LogAloft is not a dosimeter and not your airline's dose record. It is for your own information.

Coming up

The top of the logbook shows the next two weeks by duty day, in each airport's local time: report time, each leg with its block time, connections (short ones flagged), layovers and rest at base (under 10 hours flagged), days off, and the dose for each day. Tap a leg to open it; gate, delays opens its live status.

Where's my plane? Pro under a leg shows the flight that brings your aircraft in, when it is due at the gate, and how long the turn is: 45 minutes or more is fine, 25 to 44 is worth watching, under 25 is likely to run late.

Commuting to base Pro

If you live away from your base: set your home airport, crew base and how early you like to arrive in Your account → Pilot profile, and turn on commuting. Every trip that starts at base then gets a How to get to base button with the nonstops that land before your arrive-by time, latest first (when there are few, it says so). Each shows the forecast and FAA delay programs at both ends, and warns when the margin is tight. Airlines don't publish open seats, so check loads with your airline.

Tap Follow this flight on the one you plan to take: it goes on your schedule as a commute (a passenger leg, no logged time), with alerts for gate changes and delays.

Gate and delay alerts Pro

1. On iPhone, install LogAloft first; iPhones only send notifications to installed web apps.
2. In the logbook, open Settings and turn on Alerts for every flight on my schedule. Allow notifications when asked. A test notification arrives within seconds.
3. From then on, every flight from yesterday to 3 days ahead is watched: gate changes, delays, cancellations, departure and arrival. Turn on Also by email to get them by email too.

Your passenger flights, deadheads and followed commutes get alerts even with that setting off (Alerts for my passenger and commuting flights, on unless you turn it off). Other flights are tracked quietly, for your shared schedule and family emails. For a single flight, open it on the lookup page and use Alert me about gate changes and delays, or add it to your logbook from there.

Currency and expirations

Reports → Currency shows your landing currency by category and class (for example airplane multi-engine land, day and night, FAR 61.57; night landings count from 1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise), your recency in each type rating (121.439: an A332, A333 or A339 landing all count for the A330), and your expirations: medical certificate, flight review, instrument currency, and anything you add yourself, such as recurrent training, passport or visa. Each shows green, amber (getting close: from 14 days for landings to 60 days for the flight review) or red. Set your medical class and tick Under 40 at the exam when it applies, so the medical dates follow FAR 61.23.

We email you 60, 30 and 7 days before each date, and on the day. Turn these emails off in Settings.

These dates are for planning. Your certificates and your company's records are what count.

Share your schedule

In Settings → Share my schedule, create a private link for family. It shows your next two weeks by day (cities and times, not crew names), where you are now, and when you're home. Add it to a calendar with the calendar link. You can turn the link off at any time, and a new link replaces the old one.

Reports and exports

Tap Reports: Totals (with any period), Currency, Duty & rest (FAR 117), Smart groups, Logbook pages to print, Résumé, FAA 8710 totals, Stats with a map of where you've flown, and the Radiation record by month and year. Each prints or saves as a PDF. Duty & rest follows FAR 117 or EASA ORO.FTL (choose under "How duty is counted"). Duty & rest also checks your pay: with roster totals, each trip's TL plus any flown overtime, and per diem from time away, month by month. Files exports your logbook as a spreadsheet (CSV) or a LogTen file.

Plans and billing

• Without an account: look up flights and airports; flights between US airports come with their flown track (a few a day).
• Free: the logbook for your first 25 flights or 50 hours, whichever comes first (15 flights, with no hour limit, for frequent flyers), with imports and email forwarding, doses for every flight and a running total of your dose, the flown track for every flight between US airports (filled in by itself after landing) and for 2 other flights a month, your airports on Today, reports, and sync. When it's full, the logbook is read-only: you can see, search, export and delete flights, but not add or change them.
• Pro (priced by role: pilots, cabin crew, travelers): an unlimited logbook, the flown track for every flight worldwide, gate and delay alerts for every flight on your schedule, history past 60 days, and commuting options.
• Trial: Pro starts with 14 days free and no limit, so you can bring in your whole logbook first. You add a card at checkout; cancel before the 14 days end and you pay nothing. One trial per person.

Upgrade, switch between monthly and yearly, update your card, see receipts or cancel in Your account → Plan and billing. When you cancel, Pro runs to the end of the period you paid for. Refunds for the unused part of a yearly plan are given on request within 30 days of a renewal.

Your account and data

• Change your email, name or password in Your account.
• Your data is yours: export it at any time (Reports → Files). We never sell it or share your flights with airlines or employers; only anonymous statistics from many users combined. See the privacy policy.
• Delete your account in Your account → Delete: it removes every flight on all devices and cancels any plan.

Troubleshooting

The lookup found the wrong flight

Flight numbers get reused on different routes. Add the airports: AA100 JFK-LHR, or use Airports and pick the flight from the list.

My import didn't recognize the columns

Use the column matching shown before importing, or export again as CSV. Still stuck? Send the file (with personal details removed) through support.

Alerts aren't arriving

On iPhone, alerts come only to the installed app, with notifications allowed in Settings → Notifications → LogAloft. Turn the alerts setting off and on again to send a test.

My flights aren't on my other device

Sign in with the same email on both. Your account → Sync now sends and fetches changes at once.

The dose says "estimate"

The flight hasn't flown yet, has no track, or you're not signed in. After it flies, the flown track replaces the estimate by itself (every US flight on any plan; others within your plan's flown tracks).

What's new

October 2026

• On a computer, one screen: the month on the left, the day you click on the right. No tabs: Today is the blue day (and the Today button by the month's name), and your totals are in Reports → Overview, where the year's card now lives. The tools are icons in the header (Import, Reports, Crew & aircraft, Settings, Help); the search icon opens your flight list with its search and Select, and its × brings the day back. A flying day shows the leg large, meals on board and the Duty bar: drag the delay or add a leg and the bar and its verdict move (this replaces "What if…"). A layover day shows the sleep timeline and six tiles: Rest (the full plan), Meals, Hotel, Country, Things to do, Getting around. A day off points at the next trip. Today starts with "now": where you are, the next report, your alerts. Globe view (the button by Help) puts the globe in the month's place with the same day beside it; click an arc for that day, and picking a day lights its arc.
• Every flight on one screen: tap a flight to see it on the globe with its big local times, status and countdown, gates, the aircraft before yours Pro, on-time record, weather at both ends, time zones and your rest plan, cosmic radiation, and your history on the route. Edit is one tap away.
• Globe | List in Flights: your coming flights on the Earth with a countdown each, this year so far, and Airports right now (FAA ground stops and delay programs).
• Add by route: + → Route lists the day's flights between two airports, with codeshares if you want them.
• Your year as a card to share, made on your device; crew choose what goes on it.
• Calendars that keep themselves up to date: a calendar link (your crew app through the iPhone calendar, a flight app) is read again on its own, also with the app closed, and your phone is told when your schedule changes. Several links side by side; each flight gathers what every source knows, once: actual times over a schedule, the latest schedule over an older one, each crew member once.
• Delete by import: in Select, pick one import or everything from one source, then Delete.
• Layover alerts: During your stay now also shows attacks, armed clashes, curfews and states of emergency from the news, with the local press read in its own language and translated into yours; natural disasters near the city (earthquakes, cyclones, floods, eruptions and wildfires, from GDACS, the UN and European Commission’s alert system); disease outbreaks in the country, from the World Health Organization; and big games and concerts that fill hotels and roads. Things to do lists the concerts, games and shows on during your stay, from Ticketmaster.
• Flight lookup: for a flight already flown, the weather at each airport is the report from when it left or landed, marked Historical.
• Português (Brasil): LogAloft now also in Brazilian Portuguese; choose PT with the globe at the top of any page.
• Offline: the logbook shows Offline or No connection next to Help when nothing gets through (in-flight Wi-Fi before you log in); it keeps working from what’s on your phone.
• Breaks: takeoff, flight time and the number of rest periods at the top, a live clock, an alarm on each break you can turn off, and a Breaks calculator on Today without a flight.
• Rest plan: after a red-eye east, the sleep on arrival falls in your body’s night: two sleep cycles (3 hours) when they end near your body’s usual wake time, else one (90 minutes), instead of 20–30 minutes.
• Flight map: tap Live map on a leg in the air, Route map, weather and profile on a trip card, or See it on the map in a flight: the route or track flown on a globe you can drag, pinch and zoom, where the aircraft is now, the levels and step climbs, the weather along the way and the altitude and dose-rate profile. Legs later than today show the route a dispatcher would plan for that day’s winds.
• ATIS: for a US arrival in the next 12 hours, its arrival ATIS shows on the trip card too; the airport cards on the home page show the current ATIS for flights up to 12 hours ahead.
• Phones: the page behind a sheet or window no longer scrolls when you swipe, so Settings and the rest keep their title and close button in view. Sign-in opens over a calm background.
• US flights from air traffic control: look up a flight between two US airports and you get its flown track, takeoff and landing times, gate, the time its clearance went out and the route it was cleared on, at no cost and without an account (a few a day; unlimited with a free account). The airport cards add what’s going on now: the ATIS with runways in use, ground stops and delay programs, storms near the field and low runway visibility. With a free account, your US flights fill themselves in after landing, and Today shows your airports (home, base and next layover). For information only.
• Rest plan on a short westward layover: after flying west, with the flight back east next and under 36 hours there, the plan keeps you on your body clock’s hours (bed near your body’s bedtime, no alarm, the nap before a night flight in your body’s afternoon), as a study of crews found helped. A new dial asks when you went to bed the night before on a layover, and your body clock now follows when you actually slept. “Daylight outside” is only suggested after sunrise.
• Crew notes on hotels: on a layover, tap Crew notes next to the hotel to see what crews who stayed there say (noise, rooms to ask for, blackout curtains, the Wi-Fi code, breakfast and food before an early pickup, the gym, the van, walking around at night, short tips) and add yours with a few taps. Anonymous, for signed-in crew, free. The trip briefing adds a one-line summary to each hotel.
• Real block times after every flight: once a leg from your roster has flown, its scheduled out and in are replaced with the real gate times, also for line sheets without a block per leg, so Out, Off, On and In always follow one another. When you type times, In counts from On, and a time earlier than the one before it is flagged instead of rolling to the next day.
• The trip briefing, a day per panel: landscape, it folds to a pocket card with each day on its own panel (Day 1, Day 2…): report and release with UTC, every leg with gate, aircraft and tail, the limits, then that night’s hotel, pickup, time difference, sunrise and sunset, weather, rest plan and notes. The trip at a glance and the hotels’ phones sit behind the cover, and your home city counts as a layover too.
• The trip briefing folds in four: four panels with the cover on the outside, nothing on the folds, on US Letter or A4. New in the blog: Rest is not sleep, what a rest period really gives you.
• Trip briefing on one page: under Next trip, print your pairing or save it as a PDF: the schedule with local times, each duty’s limits, and for each layover the hotel, pickup, weather, your rest plan and any warnings or notes. One page, US Letter or A4. Time zones also read as CEST, BST and so on instead of “GMT+2”.
• Protests and strikes reported in the news at your layover city: from news reports worldwide (the GDELT Project), only when several outlets report it, checked by AI that it really is a protest or strike in that city, with the outlet and a link to the article. Announced strikes show on their own day.
• Rest plan, easier to read: it names the city it’s for (“Rest plan · Atlanta”). At the top, two dials: when you got up the day you fly (filled in with an estimate from your usual hour, the pickup or the report; change it if it’s off) and how long you slept in flight (80% of your break to start with), in hours and minutes. If you commute, your body clock starts on home time, not your base’s.
• What’s going on at your layover: strikes, demonstrations, storms and closures announced for the city on your layover days, from Germany’s Foreign Office travel notes (in your language) and Italy’s official strike calendar, plus public holidays and the big parades (Madrid on 12 October, Paris on 14 July, New York on Thanksgiving…). Each one shows on the layover with its dates and a link to the source, and the first warning is marked in Coming up. Nothing is shown when there is nothing.
• Routes around today's closed airspace: estimates follow the European regulator's conflict-zone bulletins for European airlines and the FAA's prohibitions for US ones, refreshed every 6 hours and dated (a flight last March goes around what was closed last March). Off the ocean tracks, a route follows the path the same airline has flown there lately.
• Phones turned sideways keep the app layout and tab bar; charts redraw to fit after turning; bigger tap targets on tablets; the month chart in Experience reads well on small phones.
• Phone tab bar stays put: on iPhone it no longer drifts up the screen as you scroll or after typing, and it steps aside while the keyboard is open.
• Signing in without a connection: offline, LogAloft no longer asks for a code or password; it waits until you’re back online. A hotel or in-flight Wi-Fi login page no longer ends your sign-in.
• Your logbook at a glance: Today shows your hours in the last 28 days and 12 months as rings, and each currency with the days it has left. A Totals view adds up 7, 28 and 90 days, 6 and 12 months and this year, and your smart groups, with a chart and the flights behind each number.
• Logbook lists (More, or Crew & aircraft): hours and flights with each crew member, aircraft and type, departures and arrivals at each airport, and a Trips list with legs, block and time away; tap one to see its flights.
• Reports → Experience: your time added up by aircraft type, aircraft, airport, city, country, route, month (with a chart) or year, and your overnights by city; print it or download it as CSV.
• Settings → Logbook: show hours as h:mm or decimal, total time from out–in or off–on, relief taken off PIC or SIC, and which tabs sit at the bottom of the phone screen.
• Rest plan protects 8 hours of sleep: time in bed is set for at least 8 hours asleep when the layover allows it (longer when you sleep in your body’s daytime), and the nap on arrival is kept short enough that you’re tired at bedtime. Where to eat suggests dinner at the plan’s time.
• Rest plan, the whole day: it asks when you got up on the day you fly, counts a typical break in flight when you haven’t planned one, moves bedtime earlier after a long day, and before a night flight lets you sleep in and adds a nap before you leave. Every layover before your next duty now has a Rest plan, not only trips across time zones.
• On your phone, it works like an app: tabs at the bottom (Today, Trips, + to add a flight, Flights, More) instead of the menu and toolbar; each tab remembers where you were. Long explanations now show a short outline with More to read the rest.
• More rosters read: FLICA pairings (copied from the page, pasted as text or saved as PDF), Sabre CrewTrac’s Pairing Print Report, AIMS’s Personal Crew Schedule Report and its logbook report, and RosterBuster’s roster CSV. Deadheads, report times and the layover hotel come with them; local times are turned into UTC with each airport’s time zone. Set your airline in Your account → Pilot profile → Edit profile so the flight numbers read as, say, UA1234.
• UK Foreign Office advice on layovers too: when it advises against travel to the whole country (red), to parts of it that include your layover city (amber), or posted a security update in the last 3 days (protests, strikes, unrest; amber), with what changed and a link. Nothing is shown otherwise.
• Where to eat near the hotel. On a layover, signed in with your hotel: a walking map round the hotel (rings at 5 and 10 minutes) and up to six places within about 12 minutes’ walk, rated 4 or more on Tripadvisor with enough reviews, medium to high prices, a spread of cuisines, and whether each is open at your dinner time (21:00 in Spain, 20:00 elsewhere; change it). Each has its Tripadvisor rating and page, and walking directions. Places come from OpenStreetMap.
• Warnings on a layover, only when there is something: amber, or red when it’s critical. The U.S. State Department’s travel advisory when the country is at Level 3 (reconsider travel) or Level 4 (do not travel), with its reason and a link; Coming up marks those layovers too. With alerts on, the plane coming in for the first leg of your duty is checked about 5 and 3 hours before departure: when it runs 45 minutes or more late, canceled or diverted, you get a notification and the layover shows it (report as scheduled unless crew scheduling tells you otherwise).
• The pickup on the layover strip: getting ready, the pickup and the drive to the airport before the report; the countdown runs to the pickup. Without a pickup in your schedule, signed in with a hotel, the pickup is estimated from the drive in traffic (marked ~). You can also type the pickup in yourself, with the hotel in Coming up; yours stays when the schedule is imported again.
• Now · layover on the dashboard: during a layover, Next trip shows where you are, the local time, when you landed and report, the time left, the weather and a strip of the layover with a tick for now (day and night outside, your usual bed hours, getting ready), with the Rest plan a tap away.
• Hotel pickup times from your schedule. A calendar or line sheet that prints the pickup (“Layover Pickup Time 07:35”), or a screenshot of your crew app’s layover page, now brings in the hotel, its phone and address and the pickup back to the airport. The pickup is used instead of the estimate, the Rest plan has you up 45 minutes before it, and the layover strip marks it.
• Five more logbook print layouts: Latin America (SRVSOP LAR, in Spanish), Brazil (CIV, in Portuguese), Japan (JCAB), India (DGCA CA-39) and the ASA SP-30 pilot logbook.
• Photos on a flight. Up to six on each flight (the cockpit, the paperwork, the view), kept on your device and, signed in, in your account.
• Progress toward your next rating. Reports → Progress: ATP, R-ATP, instrument, commercial, EASA ATPL or your own minimums, with what is left. The Résumé tab adds hours by aircraft class and operation for airline applications, with a CSV.
• PICUS and pilot monitoring times, for EASA and Latin American logbooks; and the year for taxes (time away, nights, per diem) in Duty & rest.
• On the trip: the ride (turbulence forecast) on the next legs, airport maps, and how far along a flight in the air is.
• What if… on each work day in Coming up: a delay or an added leg, and what FAR 117 (or your rules) says then, with when the duty stops being legal. When a live estimated time pushes a duty past or close to its limit, the day says so.
• On a layover, the trip stays in Coming up (marked flown) with its weather and rest plan, until your next leg leaves. Rest plan: the sleep to expect now follows your body clock: time in bed during your body’s day gives about two-thirds as much sleep as during its night, so a 9-hour night after flying east is about 6 hours asleep. Sleep in flight comes from the flight’s Breaks plan; the only input left is when you got up, if it isn’t your usual time.
• The rest plan (it was the jet lag plan), at a glance. Meals are now fitted to the hours you’re awake (land in the morning and sleep the afternoon: dinner and breakfast, not three meals). A layover opens with four numbers (hours awake at block in, time in bed and the sleep to expect, meals, the next report) and a strip from block in to the report: day and night outside, when to be in bed, eat, exercise and get ready, and your body’s night from home. Longer stays get a 24-hour bar for each day: sleep, daylight to seek, light to avoid, meals.
• Breaks in flight, redrawn. A picture of the flight (departure, climb, cruise, descent, arrival, the window of circadian low) with each break and service where it falls and the gaps left open; flight attendants get up to 4 break groups and an optional gap between service and rest.
• The layover plan says more: time in bed and the sleep to expect, when to get up and eat (three meals), optional exercise, when to start getting ready, and a nap before you leave when it would help. Melatonin is now general advice at the foot of the plan (ask your doctor or AME).
• Closer flight times in estimates: the airplane’s speed now uses the forecast temperature at its cruise level rather than a standard day (air time off by about 12 minutes on average instead of 16 on our test flights).
• Better estimates for regional flights: the winds at FL240 and FL270 now come from their own levels of the forecast, for jets and turboprops that cruise below FL300.
• Logbook pages for Canada and Australia. Reports → Print: the Transport Canada layout (day and night by dual, PIC and co-pilot, cross-country, instrument, takeoffs and landings) and the CASA layout (day and night by ICUS, dual, command and co-pilot; instrument in flight and on the ground).
• Doses right away. Signed in, a flight or a few you just added get their dose in a second or two, without waiting for the background job.
• Breaks in flight for flight attendants count from landing: set the landing time, when the first break starts (after the first service), the gap between breaks, and how long before landing the last break ends; the second service runs from then to landing. No takeoff time needed.
• Sleep in flight, your way (Jet lag plan, optional): a share of your break (80% to start with, anywhere from 10 to 100%), the minutes you slept, or not counted. “This trip” (when you got up, naps, sleep in flight) now shows open.
• Jet lag plan: meal times for each day, melatonin times if you want them (0.5 mg, with the FAA rule for pilots), and the sleep you get in your break in flight (about 80% of it) counted in the layover plan.
• After landing, the flight’s out, off, on and in times come from the live flight status, and doses no longer wait forever on the server.
• Breaks in flight for flight attendants: set the time the first break starts, and the gap after each break on its own.
• Dials on your phone to set the times in Breaks in flight, and in the jet lag plan, optionally, when you got up and any naps the day you fly: the layover plan counts your hours awake from them.
• Breaks in flight for flight attendants: the services show with their times, the gap also comes before the pre-arrival service, and times show in UTC, the departure or the arrival time zone.
• Duty limits for 8 more countries, read from each regulator: Vietnam, the Philippines, Pakistan, Kenya, Morocco, Israel, Panama and Peru.
• Pay rigs in Duty & rest: minimum day, duty rig, trip rig and a monthly guarantee in the pay check.
• Forwarding from another address now asks you to confirm that address once, by a link we email to it.
• Solar radiation storms, if you want them. Settings → "Count solar and geomagnetic storms": flights that flew through a solar particle event get its extra dose from NASA's NAIRAS model, shown apart on the flight because it is less certain (about ±50%); flights during a geomagnetic storm (Kp 5 and up) get the little the weaker magnetic shield adds. How every dose is worked out, and how it compares with measurements on board, is now on the Method and validation page.
• Gate alerts that arrive. A flight you follow more than a day ahead now tells you its gate (and any delay) as soon as the alert feed connects, about 24 hours before departure; before, a gate given at that moment could go untold.
• Choose the dose standard. Settings → Dose standard: ICRP 103 effective dose (the current standard, and your record), the older ICRP 60 weighting some airlines still report (about 30% higher), or H*(10), what dosimeters read. Same CARI-7A model, weighted another way. You can also type your airline's own figure on a flight to see it next to ours. Hotel search now finds a hotel by its name alone, near the layover airport (within 80 km).
• Flown legs fill in on their own. About 30 minutes after a flight lands, its real times, track and dose replace the estimate; if it is still in the air, LogAloft looks again 30 minutes after its new landing time. A flown leg then leaves Coming up, and commute rows say “Commute to work” and “Commute from work”. Deadhead and passenger legs show only their time aboard: they never count as flight time, only for your dose (a deadhead also as duty).
• The commute you took. Once your commute has left, its card asks which flight you took: that one stays as a passenger leg (its dose counts) and the others you followed go; “I took this one” is also in the commuting options. Gates now stay on a leg until 30 minutes after it lands. With the hotel’s drive worked out, the card shows its full name and address, with a link to the map.
• Set your own rules. Flying under an authority we don't cover? In Reports → Duty & rest choose “My own rules” and enter its limits: flight duty (also with 3 or 4 pilots), flight time, rest, 7-day rest, days off, days in a row and any totals. In Currency, “Another authority: my own items” keeps only your own currencies and checks, and the medical can follow the months your authority gives. Your retirement age (About you) sets the career projection; your own dose levels and pregnancy limits are in Settings. Signed out, the Currency card asks you to sign in instead of showing items as not current.
• The exact dose for an ocean crossing, if you want it: open the flight and tap “Add the levels you flew” (FL350, FL370 at 30W). Your levels fill the stretches the track has no positions for. Nothing asks you; it’s there only if you want it.
• Date of birth in About you (optional): for pilots, the career radiation projection in Reports runs to your 65th birthday unless you type another year.
• The way home after a trip now shows FAA delay programs too, and says “none right now” instead of leaving it blank.
• The Next trip chart labels every day of the pairing, also days spent on a long layover. Drive times to the airport work again for times later in the day.
• Gates for your commute: the flight you picked to get to base shows its gate on the dashboard once it’s posted, like your trip’s legs.
• Call us and nobody answers? Leave a voicemail: it reaches our support desk as a ticket, and we get back to you.
• Six new safety articles in the blog: wind shear on the takeoff roll, how wind shear accidents were stopped, runway incursions, unstable approaches, contaminated runways and laser strikes.
• FAR 117’s 30 hours of rest in 7 days: Coming up flags a duty with no 30 h rest in the 168 hours before it (amber when it’s tight). Time at base after a commute is shown as time there, not as rest.
• Hide currency items you don’t need from the dashboard (×); “hidden” brings them back.
• Next trip shows the whole pairing: the first 7 days, and “Show all” for longer trips (cargo, up to 21 days).
• Commuting: choose which flights count for your commuter policy: any airline, the backup on your airline, or only your airline.
• Sign-in remembers your email on this device.
• Jet lag plans follow the whole pairing: your body clock is worked out from where you actually were (a day in Madrid barely moves it), so a plan shows only where it really shifts, and mid-trip it starts at takeoff.
• Layover forecasts with weather icons and the day’s high and night’s low.
• Planned and flown: Coming up is tinted as planned, and the logbook starts at a “Now” line; on Flight lookup → Airports, flights that already left sit above “Now”, muted.
• The Currency card names its rules (FAA, EASA, UK CAA, Aerocivil).
• Staying signed in: several tabs no longer sign you out; if a sign-in does end, the logbook asks you to sign in again instead of looking signed out.
• Colombian days off: Duty & rest checks that a month’s 9 days off can come as three periods of 2 consecutive days and one of 3 (7 days as 2 + 2 + 3 for cabin crew), as RAC 121 sets out. Avianca’s activity calendar: flights to Europe and other continents now report 2 h before departure, as Avianca’s Ops Manual sets (1:30 within the Americas, 1 h domestic).
• Crew-app screenshots Pro: import screenshots of your airline’s crew app (such as Avianca’s mycrew): the day list and a flight’s page give the flights with their times, fleet and tail, and flights already in your logbook get the type and tail filled in. Crew names are kept only if you tick it; ID and license numbers never.
• Avianca activity calendar: import the monthly “Calendario de actividades reales” PDF. Its flights come in with UTC times and a report time per RAC 121, simulator sessions as simulator entries (instructor time if you gave them), reserve and other ground assignments in Duty & rest. Import any roster at the start of the month and again at the end: the new copy offers to remove legs that were dropped or not flown, and the logbook reminds you near the end of the month. Roster PDFs can be emailed in too, and on the 1st of each month we email you asking for last month's final roster and this month's.
• Colombia, from RAC 121 Apéndice 18: duty and flight time by sectors, pilots on board and airplane group (A: jets; B: other airplanes), an hour less for a report between 15:00 and 03:00, rest by the hours flown at base or away, flight time per fortnight, month, three months and year, 9 days off a month and at most 5 days in a row. Cabin crew get their own Colombian rule (12 h domestic, 15 h in the Americas, 17 h intercontinental, shorter at night). Currency for Colombian airline pilots says how to get recency back (121.1745) and tracks cruise relief pilots (121.1750).
• Crew rest class: for augmented crews, the FDP limit of China, Japan, Canada, India, Brazil, Australia and Korea now follows the rest facility you choose in Duty & rest (class 1 bunk, class 2 lie-flat seat, class 3 seat), as in FAR 117 and EASA. The page no longer redraws while you’re working: open details stay open, and what you’re typing is kept.
• Duty rules for more countries: besides FAR 117, FAR 121.467 and EASA, Duty & rest now checks the limits of 27 more countries (China, India, Japan, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, Colombia and others), each with its source; elsewhere, your operator’s scheme and your contract. Breaks: a dark screen during breaks if you want it, a summary at the end, and a Breaks link on the dashboard. Going home: the first flight that works and its backup, your airline only if you choose. Support requests get a ticket number.
• Your contract: in Duty & rest and in Currency → Flight-time limits, enter limits stricter than the rules (a shorter duty, longer rest, fewer hours); they are checked too and marked "your contract". The rules stay the floor. Flight attendants: the FAR 121.467 duty and rest limits. Breaks: a minute at a time (hold to run), or type the length; any time zone, city or airport for the WOCL.
• Breaks in flight: on a crew leg of 5 hours or more in Coming up, tap Breaks. It splits the rest periods (pilots: 2, 3, 4 or 6; flight attendants: 2 or 3 groups between the services), lets you make one longer, shades your window of circadian low, and puts the alarms in your calendar.
• Currency follows the country that issued your license: the FAA, EASA, the UK CAA, Colombia’s Aerocivil, or the ICAO standard elsewhere. Choose it in Currency or About you. Under Customize dashboard, hide the panels you don’t need.
• Closer estimates: a flight whose route has no flown tracks yet starts at the level usually filed for it, and a logbook dose worked out on our server follows the same filed route the lookup page draws.
• The logbook opens on a dashboard that fits about one screen on a computer: your next trip on a timeline with the gate on each leg (posted about a day before), the weather at each stop with what to pack, your commute to and from base, radiation, flight time and currency.
• A long logbook folds by year and month, so the page stays short; a search still shows every match.
• Dose alerts: planned flights that would take you past a limit, and solar radiation storms around high-latitude flights. Pregnancy tracking, kept on your device.
• The radiation record shows your career total and a projection, and carries a code anyone can check at logaloft.com/verify.
• EASA flight duty limits in Duty & rest, and Compare trips by dose before a bid.
• A pay check by month in Duty & rest, from your roster's totals and the times you actually flew.
• A faster first lookup on a slow connection: only the navigation data along the route is downloaded, not the whole world's.
• A flight you look up can be bookmarked or shared from the page address.
• Signature requests are withdrawn when you unlock or delete the entry.
• Many fixes from a round of testing, among them: a spreadsheet import no longer stops syncing, and day landings survive a CSV export and import.
