The problem with most logbook apps
Most of the big-name logbook apps were built for the US or European market. They're polished — but when it's time to export, you get an FAA 8710 or EASA FCL.050 report and not much else. For an Australian pilot fronting a CASA flight test, an AFR, or a job interview with a local operator, that means re-typing hours into a spreadsheet to produce something in the format anyone here actually recognises.
PilotIQ was built the other way around: CASA-native first, with the international formats as extras rather than the main event.
What's in the logbook
CASA-native exports
Logbook reports in the format Australian pilots, examiners and operators expect — plus RAAus records, FAA 8710-style and EASA FCL.050-style exports when your flying crosses borders.
iOS app + web, one logbook
Log on your iPhone or iPad, review and report on the web at pilotiq.com.au — it's the same logbook, synced. No manual exports between devices.
Works offline
Log the flight on the apron with no reception; it syncs when you're back in coverage. A logbook that needs the internet isn't much use at a bush strip.
Currency tracking
CASA recency tracked to the actual rules — flight reviews, passenger-carrying recency, medical validity and more — with alerts before something lapses, not after.
Instructor sign-offs
Digital instructor sign-offs and endorsements recorded against your entries, with a verification page examiners can check without installing anything.
RAAus + GA together
Fly both? RAAus and VH- flights live side by side in one logbook, separated cleanly but counted correctly — see the dedicated RAAus logbook page for how crediting works.
Free forever — with optional upgrades
The Basic Logbook is genuinely free, forever — not a trial. Log every flight, keep your totals, export the basics. If you want more, Core ($7/mo AUD) adds full currency tracking, the document vault, multi-aircraft tagging and complete CASA-style reports; Career ($13/mo AUD) adds duty and rest tracking, advanced currency alerts and employer-ready report packs for pilots heading to the airlines.
Studying for your licence too? RPL and PPL exam prep includes the Core logbook, so students aren't charged twice. Flying recreational as well? See how RAAus and GA logging work together — and there's more detail on the logbook features page and in the guides.
Logbook FAQs
Is PilotIQ's logbook really free?
Yes. The Basic Logbook is free forever — manual flight logging, totals and basic export, on iOS and the web, with no time limit. Paid tiers are optional: Core ($7/mo AUD) adds currency tracking, the document vault and full reports; Career ($13/mo AUD) adds duty/rest tracking and employer-ready report packs.
Does it export a CASA-format logbook?
Yes — CASA-native exports are the whole point. PilotIQ produces logbook reports in the format Australian pilots and examiners expect, and it also exports RAAus records, FAA 8710-style summaries and EASA FCL.050-style reports if your flying crosses jurisdictions.
Can I import my existing logbook?
Yes. You can import flights via CSV — with presets for common logbook apps — or simply enter an opening balance to carry your career totals across and start logging from today without re-typing years of history.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The iOS app logs flights offline — at a country strip or after a long day, no reception required — and syncs to the cloud (and the web app) when you're back in coverage.
Is there an iPhone app?
Yes — the PilotIQ Logbook app is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and it shares one logbook with the web app at pilotiq.com.au, so your hours are always in sync.
