I use the logbook pro app that gives me the tail number and gate info for my flights.

When it changes you get notifications of tail swaps and gate changes

I even blocked in one time in dtw and the app said my next flight was delayed. So we called ops and asked about the delay. No delay. Ops responds. Okay

Show up at the gate for the next flight. It’s delayed.

That’s pretty awesome actually. I’m stilling doing my logbook pro on a 10yr old laptop. I just can’t bring myself to pay his ridiculous subscriptions. I guess when my laptop dies that’ll be the last page of my logbook.

I’m sure your probably being facetious but you know you can back that up to somewhere like Dropbox so you don’t lose all your data? And you don’t have to pay his ridiculous fees to do so.

Yeah it’s backed up on an external. Just saying that when the computer dies I’m not going to buy a new one just for my logbook. I have zero need for a computer other than my logbook. If he had fixed price for the app I’d probably buy it but a monthly or yearly payment bothers me.

Yeah I’ve contemplated making the switch to MC Pilot or whatever that software is called. It’s supposed to have similar functionality to Logbook Pro for a one time (like $80) fee.

Love MCC pilotlog-
Have used it for over 2 years now and wish I would have stopped paying ridiculous fees long before that.

+1 for MCC Pilot Log. Little bit of a learning curve but it’s great.
