Getting started
Everything in this area happens before you log a single flight. By the end of it you’ve got a logbook of your own, secured the way you want it, and you understand the one idea the rest of the app is built on.
Read the first two in order, then A12 as soon as you’ve got a profile open — it’s the map of the screen every other guide starts from. The rest will be there when you need them.
| Guide | What it gets you | |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Agree to the Terms and EULA | Past the screen that stands in front of everything else |
| A2 | One logbook, every device | The idea the whole product rests on. Read it before you add a second device |
| A3 | Create your profile | Your logbook |
| A4 | The profile selector | The screen the app opens on, and the three things the + button does |
| A5 | Protect a profile with a PIN | A PIN, and a decision about recovery you’ve made on purpose |
| A6 | Unlock with Face ID or a fingerprint | Biometric unlock on a phone or tablet |
| A7 | Forgotten PIN | Back into a locked profile, or a straight answer that you can’t get in |
| A8 | Open, switch and leave a profile | Movement between logbooks |
| A9 | Your pilot identity | The details exports and currency need from you |
| A10 | Delete a profile | A logbook removed from this device, knowingly |
| A11 | About, version and getting help | The version number, and where to report a problem |
| A12 | Your dashboard | Every card on the screen a logbook opens on, and which guide owns each one. Numbered last, worth reading third |
One thing worth knowing first
There’s no Settings tab. The app’s settings live behind your own profile card at the top of the dashboard — the screen a logbook opens on. Tap that card and you get a screen titled Profile Settings, and that’s where the PIN, your pilot identity, backups, sync and the rest of it are configured. Several of the guides below start there, and A12 is the tour of the screen they start from.
Words this area introduces
Profile — one logbook. Its own database, its own settings, its own history. Not an account, and not a user of a shared logbook. Most pilots have exactly one.
Self person — the entry in your Directory that is you. It’s created for you when you make a profile, and it’s what goes on exports and into crew lists.
Recovery account — a Google or Apple sign-in attached to a profile. Its only job here is to reset a forgotten PIN.
