Pilot Logbook

Pilotflows vs Safelog

Both offer cross-platform logging, authority-ready exports, currency tracking, digital signatures, and import from other logbooks. Pilotflows adds native mobile apps, a modern UI, METAR/TAF at log entry, unlimited ADS-B flight tracks on Pro, skydiving logging, a more generous free tier, and dedicated SafeLog import.

What Pilotflows adds

  • Modern UI/UX

    A clean, fast interface built for how pilots work today—not legacy desktop software patterns.

  • METAR/TAF at Log Entry

    Real-time weather integration when logging flights. Safelog does not include built-in METAR/TAF.

  • Unlimited ADS-B Flight Tracks

    Unlimited ADS-B flight tracks on Pro. Safelog has no ADS-B integration.

  • Skydiving Logbook

    Dedicated jump logging for skydivers. Safelog is fixed-wing oriented.

  • Generous Free Tier

    100 flight hours free vs Safelog’s limited trial entries. More time to evaluate before upgrading.

  • SafeLog CSV Import

    Migrate your existing Safelog data with dedicated import support—no manual re-entry.
