KármánLogs
Every hour, accounted for.

A logbook built by the people who use it.

We’re a small team, and all of us fly. We built KármánLogs for ourselves, and for pilots like you, so logging takes seconds, not minutes.

Logged in seconds

A flight logged in seconds, not minutes.

KármánLogs does the tedious parts, the lookups, the math, the taps, so a complete, accurate entry takes almost no time.

N-number lookup

Add an aircraft by tail number alone.

Enter the N-number of any US-registered aircraft and KármánLogs pulls its make, model, and class straight from the FAA registry. You just confirm single or multi-engine and a couple of details.

  • Make, model & class from the FAA registry
  • You confirm single vs multi-engine

Automatic

Night, takeoffs, and landings, filled in for you.

Enter your OOOI times and KármánLogs does the rest: it calculates night time automatically, and, uniquely, logs your takeoffs and landings from each flight's times and locations. Less to enter, less to get wrong.

Automatic night, takeoffs, and landings are calculated from your OOOI times (out, off, on, in). Those times are what make the math possible.

Approaches

Log an approach in a tap or two.

The runway you flew is already on screen, so adding an approach is a tap, not a form. KármánLogs records exactly what the FAA wants logged, so your approaches count toward currency.

  • Location, the airport you flew to
  • Approach type, like ILS, RNAV (GPS), or VOR
  • Runway flown

Meets 14 CFR 61.51(g)(3), which requires the location and type of each instrument approach to be logged (plus the safety pilot's name, if one was required). These are the approaches that count toward IFR currency under 14 CFR 61.57(c).

Ratings & checkride

Know exactly what’s left before your checkride.

KármánLogs tracks every requirement for your Private, Instrument, and Commercial, shows your progress at a glance, and prints the record your examiner wants.

Requirement tracking

Every requirement, counted as you fly.

Pick the rating you’re working toward and KármánLogs tracks each FAA requirement against your logged time: total hours, cross-country, night, instrument, solo, and landings, so you always see what is done and what is left. A home-screen widget keeps your progress one glance away.

Checkride paperwork

Hand your examiner a complete record.

When you’re ready, generate a single document that lays out every requirement for the rating and the exact flights that satisfy each one. Bring it to your checkride so your examiner can verify your experience without digging through your logbook.

Data security

Your logbook never leaves your world.

A career’s worth of flying is too important to sit on someone else’s server. KármánLogs keeps it on your devices and in your own iCloud: encrypted, private, and recoverable.

  • Your iCloud, not our servers

    Every flight, aircraft, and certificate syncs through your own private iCloud account, encrypted by Apple. We never hold a copy.

  • Encrypted backups, one-tap restore

    Automatic backups are stored encrypted under your Apple ID. Lost a device? Your career restores in a tap.

  • Sign in with Apple, no passwords

    No account to create, no password to leak, no email list to harvest. Your identity stays with Apple.

  • Sync Health you can actually see

    An honest status screen shows what’s synced, when it last ran, and what didn’t. No silent failures.

The only thing that ever leaves your device: a document image you choose to scan, sent securely for text recognition, never your logbook, routes, or crew.

What pilots kept asking for

Built around what was missing.

We read what professional pilots said they needed from a logbook, and built for the gaps. No names, no mudslinging. Just the things that kept coming up, answered.

Data integrity

“I can’t lose years of flights to an update.”

Your logbook lives in your own iCloud, encrypted by Apple and never on our servers. Automatic encrypted backups, one-tap restore, and your logbook exports as a PDF whenever you want it.

Sync

“Show me sync I can trust.”

A real iCloud Sync Health screen: what’s synced, when it last ran, and what didn’t. No silent guessing.

Pricing

“No billing surprises.”

Free for students. One clear annual price, a clear renewal date, cancel anytime. No traps.

Support

“Let me reach a real person.”

A human replies to every email within 24 hours. No ticket black hole, no “watch the tutorial.”

Switching

“Don’t make me retype my career.”

Import CSV, Excel, or TSV from any logbook app. Known formats import with full fidelity; AI maps the rest. Bring your history with you.

Focus

Just a logbook. Nothing you didn’t ask for.

No job boards. No upsells. No trackers. KármánLogs does one thing, the craft of logging, and does it precisely.
