Every flight in Jetlog is an entry: a single logbook line with a date, a route, an aircraft, your crew, and a set of times. Tap ＋ from the main list to create one.
The basics
Start with the essentials: date, departure and arrival airports, and a flight or exercise description. Then attach:
- Aircraft: pick an existing tail from your fleet list or add a new one by registration; Jetlog looks up the type for you where it can.
- Crew: add the people you flew with once and reuse them on every future entry. Crew records sync across your devices the same way entries do.
Fill in your role, landings, and any currency-relevant fields (night, IFR, cross-country) the way you would on paper. Jetlog’s fields map directly to a standard logbook, plus the extra structure an EASA-format export needs.
What each time field means
Jetlog tracks flights the way a flight deck does, not just block-to-block:
| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| Off-blocks | The moment the aircraft starts moving under its own power: pushback or taxi-out. |
| Takeoff | Wheels up. |
| Touchdown | Wheels down. |
| On-blocks | Parked at the gate or stand, chocks in. |
Each of those can carry a scheduled, estimated, and actual value. Scheduled comes from the timetable, estimated updates as the day firms up, and actual is what really happened. On a live-tracked airline, all four times fill in on their own; see How automatic flight tracking works. Otherwise, enter actuals by hand from your logbook or the aircraft’s clock, a normal and fully supported way to use Jetlog.
For a simulator session instead of a real flight, the fields are almost identical. See Logging simulator sessions.
Saving and syncing
Save the entry and it’s on every other signed-in device instantly (no iCloud, no manual refresh). Logging, aircraft, crew, and sync are all included in Jetlog’s subscription, free for your first 3 months and €2.99/month or €29.99/year after that. See Pricing for the full breakdown.

Once a few flights are in, take a look at your reports and route map to see the picture they build, or read Signing in if you haven’t set up a second device yet.
