The problem
Where paper logbooks reach their limits
Seven weaknesses of paper — and how cloudlog.aero solves them.
Sound familiar
One book. One spilled coffee. Fifteen years of flying gone.
How we solve it
Your flights sit encrypted in German data centres, backed up and available on every device — web, iPhone, Android. Paper becomes your printout, not your original.
Sound familiar
Totals by hand — and someone checks them at your proficiency check.
How we solve it
Every time and carry-over value is totalled automatically. Each change is logged at attribute level and can be reviewed at any time — exactly the audit trail authorities require for digital logbooks.
Sound familiar
"Am I actually still current on that type?"
How we solve it
The Cockpit shows the 90-day rule per type rating: landings flown against landings required. Plus freely definable warning rules and expiry alerts for licences, medicals and ratings.
Sound familiar
Your instructor's signature is missing — and has been for three months.
How we solve it
The student sends a signature request, the instructor signs via QR code on their own phone. Until then cloudlog.aero marks the training flight as incomplete rather than quietly waving it through.
Sound familiar
The same flight, captured four times: tech log, Vereinsflieger, AID — and then your own logbook.
How we solve it
Connect once, never retype again. Flights from Aircraft Info Desk, Vereinsflieger and Charterware arrive automatically, crew and launch method included.
Sound familiar
Switching would mean retyping ten years of logbook.
How we solve it
Twelve importers for other formats — from SkyDemon through LogTen Pro to CrewLounge. Whatever is already totalled goes in as a carry-over value instead of line by line.
Sound familiar
"Is my printout even FCL.050 compliant?"
How we solve it
Five genuine paper layouts as PDF: Jeppesen EASA single- and double-sided, Jeppesen FAA, Schiffmann and Schiffmann extended with SET and MET. Filtered, signed, ready to print.
Three paths
How do you fly?
cloudlog.aero adapts to three very different paths — and combines them just as well.
For pilots
The logbook that adapts to you
PPL, CPL, glider or helicopter: cloudlog.aero adapts to how you fly, not the other way round. Every field can be shown, hidden, renamed or supplemented with your own — and what comes out is a printout you can hand over without a second thought.
Explore for pilotsFor clubs and flight schools
One team. Your logbook, no gaps in the record.
Instructors chase signatures, students end up with gaps in their records, and the club maintains every flight twice. cloudlog.aero TEAMS brings members, roles and signatures into one place — and lets a flight count as valid only when it really is.
Explore TEAMSAID and Vereinsflieger
Your flight is already recorded. Do not type it again.
If you book through Aircraft Info Desk or keep records in Vereinsflieger, the data already exists. cloudlog.aero fetches it — crew, launch method and, for Vereinsflieger, automatically calculated EASA night time included.

Who sends us flights
Four systems your flights arrive from automatically. Connect once, then it runs.
Aircraft Info Desk
AvailableManagement system for flight schools and clubs. Booked flights land in your logbook automatically.
- Vereinsflieger.de
Vereinsflieger.de
BetaClub management for the gliding and flying scene. Flights arrive with launch method and night time.
Charterware
AvailableRecords flights directly in the aircraft. Connect your pilot key and you are done.
SeRo Systems
In developmentAvionics systems and ADS-B data. Delivers flights including the recorded track.
Why instructors made the switch
What stands out is the seamless integration with our internal booking system AID. As soon as flights are entered there, they are transferred into Cloudlog automatically within seconds. That saves an enormous amount of time and keeps errors to a minimum.
Domenico DanzaFlight instructor, Flightschool HamburgCloudlog simply takes work off my plate and I can rely on it. Thanks to the system integration with Aircraft Info Desk, flights are entered into my personal logbook automatically. With the various filters I can respond to any required proof straight away, EASA or FAA — usually right from my phone.

Frequently asked questions
Is cloudlog.aero EASA and FAA compliant?
Yes. Printouts follow EASA FCL.050 and the FAA requirements, and every change to a flight is logged at attribute level — the audit trail authorities require for digital logbooks. Five layouts are available: Jeppesen EASA single- and double-sided, Jeppesen FAA, Schiffmann and Schiffmann extended with SET and MET.
Do I have to retype my paper logbook?
No. You enter your existing totals once as carry-over values and cloudlog.aero builds on them. Coming from another digital logbook, one of twelve importers takes your flights across — among them SkyDemon, LogTen Pro, CrewLounge, FlightLogger and Vereinsflieger.
What does cloudlog.aero cost for a club or flight school?
TEAMS costs €4.99 per member per month and requires at least five members. It includes the full feature set plus team administration, digital instructor signatures and the team flyer for recruiting. Write to us and we will set your team up together.
How do my flights get from AID or Vereinsflieger into my logbook?
For Aircraft Info Desk you generate an API key in cloudlog.aero and paste it into AID under "My Profile → Core Data". For Vereinsflieger you connect your account with username, password and club ID. New flights then arrive automatically — the Vereinsflieger integration is currently in beta.
Does the app work without a connection?
Yes. The iOS and Android app keeps a complete local copy of your data. You can log flights offline; everything syncs automatically once you are back online. The app is included in every membership at no extra cost.
How long am I tied in?
You are not. Every membership can be cancelled monthly. The first 30 days are free and fully featured, with no payment details required.
Where is my data stored?
In German data centres subject to the GDPR. Data is backed up and access is monitored. Your flights are yours — you can export them at any time or delete your account yourself.
How does my instructor sign a training flight?
You send a signature request straight from the flight. Your instructor receives a link or scans a QR code and signs with a finger on their own device. Until the signature arrives, cloudlog.aero marks the training flight as incomplete. If a signed flight is edited afterwards, the signature is voided only once you explicitly confirm that.
What is the flight network and what do I need for it?
The flight network combines position data from ADS-B and multilateration networks — Flightradar24 and SeRo — and calculates individual flights from them as accurately as possible. You find your flight by registration or Mode S address and take it into your logbook together with its track, which then sits on the map and on the 3D globe. Two prerequisites: your aircraft needs a Mode S transponder, and there has to have been reception along the route. Over unpopulated terrain or deep in a valley a track can be patchy or missing entirely. The flight network is part of Pro.
