Offline-first electronic pilot logbook
Tarmac Log — the pilot logbook that works without a signal
Your logbook shouldn't need a signal. Log flights on the ramp, in the air, anywhere — Tarmac Log saves instantly on your device and syncs itself when you're back online.
Available on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. Free to download.
Features
A pilot logbook that works where you actually fly
Hangars have thick walls. Aprons have no signal. Tarmac Log is a digital pilot logbook that keeps working the moment you lose a bar.
Works without a signal
Every flight is written to your device first and synced afterwards, so the app behaves the same in the air, in a hangar or on the taxiway. No spinners. No “couldn't save”.
Log a flight while the engine cools
Route, times, landings, approaches and crew in one form. Aircraft you fly often are one tap away, and totals update as you type.
Your fleet, recognisable at a glance
Every aircraft carries a low-poly icon matched to what it is — single, twin, turboprop, jet or helicopter — so you can pick the right airframe without reading a registration.
SACAA-format PDF export
Generate an A4 landscape PDF in the format of the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) for any date range, with a cover page, the full column-by-column spread and totals carried forward across pages.
Totals and currency without the arithmetic
Hours by aircraft type, PIC, dual, night, instrument and cross-country are kept current as you log. Set your primary authority and the breakdowns follow its rules.
Syncs privately across your devices
Your logbook syncs privately to your account and restores on any device you sign in to. It is your record of your flying — not a marketing list.
