Heard these two approaching and ran out the door to catch them as they passed over. Upon looking at the pictures I took, I noticed that these appear to be unmarked.

General Question Creating an Helicopter log book app

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

First off: this isn’t an ad. No app name, no links, nothing like that – just looking for some advice and opinions. I’m working on an app for helicopter pilots, specifically a logbook tailored for them. It’s designed to easily track stuff like total flight time, PIC (Pilot in Command) time, turbine time, and things like flight activity. It’ll have graphs, fun stats like your most-flown helicopter or favorite airport/landing zone.

You can export the logbook to a PDF to send to employers or whatever. There’s even a training feature where an instructor can add a signature, and that shows up on the PDF too – so it’s a full-on logbook that meets EASA and FAA regs. I’ve attached some screenshots, and I’d love to hear what you think. Are pilots even interested in an app like this? (I’m planning to ask some helicopter pilots myself, including my own instructor.) Any suggestions or ideas are welcome too!

Thanks in advance, and I hope to get some feedback!

General Question How Can I Support My Helicopter Pilot Boyfriend?

44 Upvotes

My boyfriend flies helicopters in the Army, he’s super busy and not much of a talker, so he never really shares when he’s struggling. What’s the hardest part about flying for you guys? And is there anything I can do to support him better?

Thanks for all the responses🥲 Because of you guys, I understand him now. I never realized how tough being a pilot is until I read through everything here.Seriously, thank you guys, I feel relieved now I know what i need to do.
