FLYLOG.io vs ForeFlight Logbook

Last updated:

ForeFlight is a leading flight planning and electronic flight bag platform, and its built-in Logbook is a convenient option for pilots who already use ForeFlight.

The key difference is focus. ForeFlight Logbook is part of a broader EFB subscription, while FLYLOG.io is built specifically around the digital pilot logbook, with cross-platform access, airline imports, paper scanning, and authority-specific exports.

If you already use ForeFlight for flight planning, the two can also work well side by side.

A career record, not just another EFB feature

ForeFlight Logbook is convenient because it sits inside the ForeFlight environment. FLYLOG.io is dedicated to your logbook, with access across iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and the web. That makes it easier to keep your career record independent of your flight planning platform.

Built for airline flying

FLYLOG.io supports imports from 150+ airline and crew scheduling systems, along with ADS-B and ACARS data. Its AI-powered scanner can also digitize paper logbooks. These tools are designed to reduce the amount of manual entry required to keep a professional logbook current.

One logbook for multiple authorities

FLYLOG.io provides authority-specific exports for the FAA, EASA, UK CAA, CASA, and other regulators, and tracks flight time limits, recency, and licence dates. This can be particularly useful if your career takes you across countries or licensing systems.

Which logbook is right for you?

If you already use ForeFlight for flight planning and want a convenient built-in logbook for straightforward flying, ForeFlight Logbook is a practical choice.

If you want a dedicated logbook that works across platforms, supports airline imports, provides multi-authority exports, and includes professional tracking and paper scanning, FLYLOG.io offers a more specialized workflow.
