Logbook Importing Easier

v1.14.0

This release makes logbook import easier to complete, gives pilots more control over how their profiles and preferences are shared, and adds a more capable club booking workspace. It also improves regulatory calculations, notes, notifications, and several day-to-day reliability issues.

New21
  • Logbook:The logbook now supports take-off and landing events, rotor start and stop times, and duration rules that vary by aircraft category and authority
  • Logbook:The logbook authority picker now lists active rulesets from the server and prevents draft or inactive rulesets from being applied

  • Notes:Notes can link to Drawing notes, show drawings as previews, and open them full screen for editing on desktop, tablet, or phone
  • Plan:Planned flights can now be matched to tracking data by flight number and date when no aircraft registration is available
  • Club:Club bookings now have a conversation-first activity feed with threaded replies, readable change descriptions, and a dedicated full-page detail view

  • Club:Booking activity now includes lesson debriefs and student notes with separate All, Comments, and Debrief tabs

  • Club:Club transaction history now supports filtering and pagination instead of stopping at a short recent list
  • Club:Club vouchers can now be redeemed, voided, and expired from the app
  • Club:Club staff can view and manage instructor time away, which is reflected in the bookings calendar

  • Imports:Spreadsheet import now offers an updated template with named columns, examples, route details, and landing counts
  • Imports:Import review now shows whether a page is empty or unreadable, making it clearer why no flights were found
  • Imports:The empty workspace home now offers clear paths to bring in a logbook by scan, spreadsheet, or manual entry
  • Account:Pilots can create a profile card with sharing controls for their identity, hours, licences and ratings, milestones, aircraft flown, and flights logged together
  • Account:Profile links now appear from crew names, message threads, club rosters, and profile settings when the viewer has access
  • Account:New pilots can choose how they fly during onboarding, with logbook columns, totals, home layout, and training links adapted to their pilot type
  • Account:The guided tour now has a phone-friendly layout and correctly reaches the logbook settings step
Improvements6
  • Logbook:Night-flight calculations use the aircraft's position along the route and the selected authority's definition, improving results for flights crossing dates or high latitudes
  • Club:Booking creation shows warnings before the booking is created, including missing or expired medicals, flight reviews, and aircraft type ratings
  • Club:Booking events use calmer calendar styling, and dragging now shows a pointer-following preview, a snapped landing outline, and automatic scrolling near the edge
  • Imports:Scan review requires one click to edit a cell, while the chevron opens the full line details
  • Imports:Phone scan review now shows the pilots and instructors associated with each imported line
  • Account:The header profile menu now presents the pilot's cover card, membership details, plan, and pilot records in one place
Fixes9
  • Notes:Drawing notes now preserve the latest drawing when the editor closes, save changes one at a time, and export the scene as drawn
  • Club:Moving or resizing a booking now updates the correct row immediately, supports touch input, and can be cancelled with Escape without committing the change
  • Club:The booking detail drawer now uses the server's warnings and override permissions, and the sign-out sheet opens above the drawer without losing access to its controls
  • Club:Club pages now distinguish failed data loads from genuinely empty lists, so an outage no longer looks like there is no data
  • Club:Aircraft Flying and Booked statuses are now derived from bookings rather than remaining stuck from an old stored value
  • Club:Landing fees are now calculated by the server using money-safe values, reducing the risk of rounding discrepancies
  • Account:Pilot search and crew selection no longer expose pilots by arbitrary email matches or show email addresses as names
  • Account:Your profile and Founding Member links now open profile settings or the General tab instead of an unavailable legacy profile page
  • Account:UK and EU visitors now receive cookie consent before non-essential analytics cookies are set
