Chasing a captain or examiner for a signature used to mean handing over your phone, or your logbook, in person. Jetlog does it with a link instead.

Sending a signing link

  1. From the bulk editor or an individual entry, select the flights that need a signature (up to 100 entries in a single batch).
  2. Tap Request sign-off. Jetlog generates a one-time link and gives you a share sheet to send it: text, email, whatever’s fastest.
  3. Send the link to whoever needs to sign.

What the signer sees

The person you send it to needs no app and no account. They open the link in any browser, see the flight details you’re asking them to countersign, and sign right there. That signature syncs back into your logbook exactly as if it had been done in-app: same field, same record, no re-entry.

The link’s limits, by design

A signing link expires **7 days** after you send it and can only be **used once**. If it expires before your signer gets to it, just generate a new one from the same entries. There's no limit on how many times you can request a fresh link.

The 100-entry cap and the 7-day/one-time expiry keep a link narrow and short-lived: it only ever touches the flights you selected, for a week, and only once.

Good moments to use it

  • End of a course or checkride, batching every session for one instructor signature.
  • A captain who countersigns your sector after a multi-crew flight and isn’t going to open the app themselves.
  • Any signature you’d otherwise be chasing over email as a photo of a paper page.

Once a signature is on an entry, it stays there through edits, exports, and sync the same as any other field. See Exporting your logbook if you need a signed EASA-format PDF afterward, or The bulk editor, search & filters for how to select the right batch of entries in the first place.

Your next flight can log itself.
