Set up Infinite Pilot Logbook and understand the basics to start logging your flights with confidence.

Getting Started

Getting started with Infinite Pilot Logbook (IPL) is quick and simple.
This guide walks you through creating an account, signing in, and activating your account.

Registration and Sign In

Once your account is confirmed - either by email activation or by signing in with Apple - Infinite Pilot Logbook guides you through a short onboarding to configure the app for your flying activity.
This step ensures that new flight entries are automatically pre-filled according to your usual role, saving time and improving consistency.

Initial Setup – Configure IPL for Your Flying Profile

Most pilots start using Infinite Pilot Logbook by importing existing flight and simulator data from another logbook app, an airline system, or a custom file.
Others prefer to start by creating a flight manually.

Whichever path you choose, every flight in IPL follows the same structure.
This article explains what a flight entry contains, how times are calculated, and how auto-fill works, making it useful for all new users.

Logging Flights & Sim Sessions

This article provides a detailed walkthrough of how to add and complete a flight entry manually in Infinite Pilot Logbook.
Manual entry is useful when logging new flights from scratch, completing imported flights, or correcting existing entries.

Even if you primarily import data, understanding manual entry helps you review, adjust, and ultimately trust your logbook.

Add a Flight Manually

This article explains how to add and complete a simulator session in Infinite Pilot Logbook.
Simulator entries are used to log training, checking, or instructional sessions performed in a simulator.

Simulator sessions follow a structure similar to flight entries, while using dedicated fields and logic specific to simulator activity.

Add a Simulator Session

In addition to flights and simulator sessions, Infinite Pilot Logbook allows you to log other common aviation duties and activities.

This article explains how to use Positioning, Standby, Reserve, Medical, and Other entry types, and when to use each of them.

Other Entry Types

The Logbook List is the default view of Infinite Pilot Logbook.
It displays all your logbook entries and provides a compact, visual overview of your activity.

This article explains how to read the list, understand its symbols and color coding, and why entries may appear differently depending on their type and your settings.

Understanding the Logbook List

This article explains how editing, locking, and signing work in Infinite Pilot Logbook, and how these mechanisms help protect the integrity of your logbook entries while still giving you full control.

Signing and locking are optional features, but they are commonly used for regulatory, operational, or personal data protection purposes.

Edit, Lock & Sign Entries

Time is at the heart of Infinite Pilot Logbook. It drives your totals, your auto-fill hour fields, and what you see in the Logbook list. This article explains how IPL chooses which times to display, how Total Time is computed, and how auto-fill works (including Night and Relief).

Database Management

Manage pilots, crew members, and other people used throughout Infinite Pilot Logbook.

People

Places in Infinite Pilot Logbook represent the locations used throughout your logbook, such as airports, airfields, heliports, seaplane bases, or any custom location relevant to your flying activity.

They are used when logging flights, simulator sessions, medical entries, and more.

Places

Aircraft Types define the technical and regulatory characteristics of the aircraft you fly.
They are a core reference used by logbook entries, aircraft, simulators.

Understanding and maintaining accurate aircraft types ensures that your flight time, totals, and compliance calculations remain correct.

Aircraft Types

Aircraft in Infinite Pilot Logbook let you manage the individual airplanes you fly, linking each registration to an aircraft type, operator, owner, and aircraft-specific configuration for accurate flight logging and statistics.

Aircraft

The Simulators module in Infinite Pilot Logbook lets you manage the training devices you use, linking each simulator session to a clearly identified simulator, its qualification level, location, and supported aircraft types.

Simulators

Manage all your pilot qualifications in one place - with smart expiry logic, logbook-driven renewals, and a complete history of your certificate lifecycle.

Certificates & Qualifications

The Certificates module in Infinite Pilot Logbook helps you track licences, ratings, medicals, checks, and qualifications over time — with automatic validity calculations, renewal history, and current status always kept up to date.

Certificates & Qualifications Overview

The Certificates module in Infinite Pilot Logbook allows you to create, store, and manage all your licences, ratings, medical certificates, and recurrent checks in one place, with validity status and renewal history always available.

Managing Your Certificates

Infinite Pilot Logbook allows certificates to define structured validity rules, so expiry dates can be calculated consistently when certificates are renewed or revalidated over time.

Validity Rules: Expiry, Renewal & Revalidation

Certificates can be linked to logbook entries to record renewals, revalidations, checks, and other qualification events — and (optionally) update the certificate’s current validity using the rules you configured.

Using Certificates in Logbook Entries

Medical certificates in Infinite Pilot Logbook include additional logic beyond standard qualifications, allowing you to track both certificate validity and required medical examinations with age-based rules.

Medical Certificates & Exams

Infinite Pilot Logbook is designed to help you manage certificates as long-term qualifications while still preserving a complete history of renewals, revalidations, and checks throughout your career.

Certificate Activity & History

Learn how to use IPL’s Dashboard to explore your flights on a map, filter your activity by time period, track key statistics, and set goals across your aviation career.

Dashboard, Maps & Statistics

The Dashboard is the main place in Infinite Pilot Logbook where you can explore your flying activity visually and numerically. It combines an interactive map, powerful time filters, clickable statistics, and goal tracking to help you understand your logbook at a glance.

Dashboard Overview: Maps, Stats & Filters

Time periods are the foundation of IPL’s Dashboard and statistics system. They let you filter your entire logbook view — map routes, totals, goals, and entry lists — so you can focus on a specific part of your flying activity.

Time Periods Explained (All Time, Year, Month & Custom)

Custom Time Periods let you filter your Dashboard and statistics using date ranges that match your real flying needs. IPL supports both fixed ranges (with specific start and end dates) and dynamic rolling ranges (like “Last 90 Days”), giving you complete flexibility.

Custom Time Periods (Static vs Dynamic Ranges)

The Dashboard map gives you a visual overview of your flying activity for any selected time period. It displays your routes across the world and lets you tap airports to instantly access detailed statistics and the flights behind them.

Using the Flight Map (Routes, Places & Airport Cards)

The statistics shown on IPL’s Dashboard are more than simple totals. Each value is interactive, configurable, and directly linked to the logbook entries that produced it, allowing you to explore your activity with full traceability.

Understanding Statistics (Values, Units & Linked Entries)

Infinite Pilot Logbook allows you to personalize your Dashboard by creating your own statistics. You can choose exactly which values to track, give them custom names, and define goals for each time period to monitor your progress over time.

Creating and Editing Custom Stats

Goals allow you to turn Dashboard statistics into meaningful targets. Infinite Pilot Logbook lets you assign objectives to any stat across all time periods, and automatically tracks your progress with clear visual indicators.

Goals & Progress Tracking

Infinite Pilot Logbook extends the Dashboard exploration workflow throughout the entire app. Many modules include a map-based activity view with time period filtering, allowing you to review flights, hours, and associated entries for a specific person, place, aircraft type, aircraft, simulator, or certificate.
