KármánLogs
For student pilots

The same logbook professional pilots use. Free for your first 100 hours.

KármánLogs is free for student pilots for their first 100 flight hours, the full logbook included. Because the FAA Private Pilot certificate takes about 60 to 75 hours on average, most students finish their entire training, checkride included, without paying.

Free for your first 100 hours. No card to start.

through your checkride

The 100-hour line is deliberate. It is sized to cover a student pilot’s entire journey, from first lesson through checkride, with room left over. You are not on a 30-day trial racing a clock. You are flying.

Included free

The full logbook, not a teaser.

Start on the tool you keep for your whole career.

This is the same logbook flown by professional pilots through ATP. You are not learning a beginner app you will outgrow at your private checkride. You are starting on the system you will carry through every rating and into the airline interview. See how a logbook holds up at an airline interview.

Free does not mean you are the product.

Your logbook lives in your own iCloud, encrypted by Apple, never on a KármánLogs server. You sign in with Apple, so there is no account to create and no password to leak. Your training is yours alone. See where your data is stored.

When you would pay.

Past 100 hours you are beyond the private certificate and building toward a rating. One clear annual price as you advance: Private $49.99, Commercial $69.99, ATP $99.99. No surprise unlocks. See the full pricing.

Free for your first 100 hours. No card to start.
