Skydiving Logbook

Pilotflows vs Tobu

Both are USPA-aligned digital skydiving logbooks. Tobu shines at automated phone tracking and Premium flight analytics. Pilotflows adds web and Android access, full gear and license tracking, authority PDF exports, and one platform for pilots and dropzones — at a lower paid price.

What Pilotflows adds

  • Works Everywhere

    Log jumps from any browser, iOS, or Android. Tobu is iPhone-only with no web app.

  • Full Gear Management

    Track container, main, reserve, and AAD with repack dates and life limits — not just a canopy name on a jump.

  • Authority-Ready Exports

    USPA/APF PDF logbooks plus CSV and JSON. Tobu Premium exports CSV only.

  • Richer Logbook Detail

    Disciplines, weather, wind tunnel sessions, partners, and license progression in one place.

  • One Platform, All Aviation

    The same account covers pilot logbook, hangar, flight school, and dropzone operations.
