From a Cockpit Problem to a Professional Pilot Service

Like most pilots of his generation, Antonios kept an electronic logbook. But he always wanted something that felt like the real thing — the kind of professionally printed, bound logbook that sits on your desk and reflects the seriousness of what you do. A Jeppesen-style manually maintained logbook, produced from accurate electronic records. At the time, that didn’t exist. So he built it.

What started as a personal solution quickly became something larger. Pilots worldwide shared the same need — and at a time when many airlines still required a printed logbook for joining processes, LOGBOOKAIR’s printing and binding service reached colleagues across the industry. For over a decade, LOGBOOKAIR produced professional-quality printed logbooks for pilots worldwide.

Where We Are Now

The industry has changed. The requirement for printed logbooks has declined, and electronic logbook applications have multiplied — from simple hour trackers to platforms with duty calculations, currency tools and hundreds of reports spanning student pilots to military and helicopter operations.

So we asked an honest question: where does LOGBOOKAIR fit? The answer came from the same place the original idea did — from being a working airline pilot.

The Problem We Focus On

For the experienced airline pilot — someone with thousands of hours, years of type ratings, and a career that depends on accurate records — maintaining a logbook is a professional obligation, not a hobby. Most of us do not want to spend time on it daily. What we need is assurance that our records are organised, checked and ready when required.

Many tools are built for pilots who enjoy engaging with their data. They offer complexity and control. For the right user, they are excellent. For the senior airline pilot who needs a professional logbook service with less effort, they often demand more than justified.

LOGBOOKAIR focuses on simplicity, assisted workflows and professional readiness for the working airline pilot.

What LOGBOOKAIR Does Differently

We are not building another feature-rich logbook application. We are building a professional logbook service — the difference matters.

Since direct integration with airline rostering systems through credentials is not permitted under current IT security standards, the process is straightforward: you log in, import the logbook export from your airline’s crew portal, and review the prepared records. Minimal effort beyond a supported import — with assisted validation and enrichment afterwards.

From that point, LOGBOOKAIR assists with importing, validation and common workflows. Assisted validation cross-references imported records against aviation data sources — aircraft types, routes, registration data — helping surface inconsistencies before they become problems. LOGBOOKAIR helps protect data integrity and surfaces issues for your review.

When you need your logbook — for an authority check, a type rating, an airline interview, or a career transition — it is organized, checked and ready when required. In the correct format. Reflecting the hours of your career.

Our Philosophy

Leave the complexity to us.

Integrating with aviation data sources, validating logbook records, supporting JAR-FCL/EU-FCL reporting requirements, generating the totals your career needs — these are not things an airline pilot should spend time managing. They are problems LOGBOOKAIR was built to simplify, so your logbook stays where it should be: organized, checked and ready when required.

We built LOGBOOKAIR because we believe experienced airline pilots deserve a logbook service that respects their time and reflects the professionalism of their career.

Simple to use. Designed to keep your records clear, checked and ready.

Your Experience. Preserved.
