Every version of AeroVue, newest first. The app shows the same notes after an update.
Current version: 0.95.19 Released 23 October 2026
0.95.19
FlightLog is now Aerovue. This is the last FlightLog release: install Aerovue, then tap Move to Aerovue at the top of Settings to take your flights, routes, tasks, settings and club connection along in one step. Sign in once in Aerovue, then remove FlightLog.
0.95.18
Nearest and Direct To in flight: Nearest lists the airfields around you, nearest first, with their runways and surfaces, and finds any airfield by name or ICAO code. Direct To flies a straight leg from where you are to the field or point you pick, with the time you will be there.
Emergency Attitude: an attitude indicator from the phone's own sensors, as a last resort when you lose sight of the horizon – not a certified instrument. Calibrate it with the phone mounted as it will fly; a self-check says when it cannot be trusted. Tap the gyroscope in the map's side capsule for the panel under the map, and Full screen for the whole screen.
3D view: see the airspace around you, or a flight from your logbook, in three dimensions – airspace walls coloured by whether you may enter, your route, obstacles and traffic.
Charts worldwide: where open flightmaps has no chart, the map draws openAIP's aeronautical chart. In the United States it draws the FAA's Sectional charts, with the Terminal Area Charts as a layer of their own, and US states can be downloaded as regions.
Choose your base map: Liberty, Bright, Positron or the ICAO chart, with a preview and the download size of each.
A tidier map: one layers panel in the side capsule with Follow and Home, the same on the map, the flight radar and the glider radar. The bottom bars sit lower, and in the air the flight buttons stand together in one bar. Airfield badges are larger and no longer drop out when you zoom, and airfields without an ICAO code get a pin of their own.
Hold an airfield, navaid or reporting point on the map for its point sheet, also with the Airfields layer off: it names the point and shows the runway in use and the FIS frequency for the area, from FlightLog's own FIS table for the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, the United States and many more countries. An airfield's page tells its kind, class, activities and launch methods where they are known.
Logbook filters as chips: Add filter picks an option, each option takes several values, and the chips wrap onto new lines. Fold the filters away and they are kept; Statistics opens on the flights you filtered. A day of towing is one line that folds open over its flights, its number of tows can be changed, and tows from GlidingApp count as tows. Large logbooks no longer make the app hang, and an import shows how far each page has got.
Glider radar: the picked glider's barogram docks at the bottom of the screen, with its details behind More info. While a day is played back – now from 1x to 300x – the replayed glider stays centred and the trails run smoothly through every point.
Your club in the app: with your phone linked to GlidingApp, the app opens with your club's logo. An aircraft's daily card becomes one day report for every pilot who flew it, and crew detection asks who flies along when you tap the seat tag.
Settings travel with your account: signed in, your settings are the same on every phone and on the web, and switching the online logbook on in one place switches it on everywhere.
NOTAMs that start later are shown too. The route's side view says "No cumulus" where the cloud base ends and leaves the thermal top out for powered routes, and Simulate flies the route at each leg's own height.
On the web at app.krimsoft.net: a new look with a sidebar, Settings, NOTAMs and your units, the logbook's filter chips, and it can be installed as an app on your home screen.
Steadier and faster: ADS-B traffic no longer blinks and landed helicopters stay on the map, the glider radar's search no longer freezes it, and the map, backups and the cloud copy no longer hold the app up.
0.95.17
Chat: talk with other FlightLog pilots and with your club from the map and in flight – messages, photos and emoji, one conversation for the whole club, and anyone else found through the member list or an invitation link or code. On iPhone, iPad, Android and the web.
Crew detection, first at GLC Illustrious: right after take-off FlightLog tells the club's launch administration which glider you are in, from the OGN tracks or the glider's seat tag, and after landing asks about anything it was not sure of. It is on for members whose phone is linked to GlidingApp and can be switched off; the Privacy Policy 1.7 says what it sends.
The glider radar on a club screen: a TV in the club house, the screen in the launch trailer or a competition's briefing room signs in at app.krimsoft.net with a sign-in code instead of a personal account, and shows the glider radar full screen. Whoever stands at it chooses what it shows, and the controls fade away until someone moves the mouse. Full screen is on the web's glider radar for everyone too.
WeGlide in Settings: keep your WeGlide user ID, date of birth and aircraft there for sending flights. Sending to WeGlide works again after WeGlide's move to weglide.org.
Maps beyond Europe: outside the aeronautical chart the map draws the airspace a VFR chart shows and a new Navaids layer, says where the chart has no data for the area, and a region download takes the navaids along.
Importing a logbook: the import asks whether an aircraft logbook's times are UTC or local time, and flights read as UTC before can be put right from the camera button. Landings now go into each flight's approaches, "6 X Sleep" and the like in the remarks make the line a day of towing with that many tows – also for flights imported before – and up to three pages are read at a time.
Routes and day tasks apart: the map's plan button opens Routes for powered flying – From/To, cruising level, alternates, pilot log, weight & balance and flight plan – and Day tasks for gliding – the club's day tasks, those opened by code and your own tasks, without a cruising level. With gliding and a powered mode both switched on, a Routes | Day tasks switch at the top chooses between them.
Day tasks that fit the day: the task editor gives the estimated duration at your cross-country speed, the soaring window from the thermal forecast, the forecast thermal top and cloud base in the side view, DMSt zones and the WeGlide shape with its scoring distance and bonus – and Suggest a task proposes a triangle, quadrilateral or out-and-return from your field. Share as day task with your club or by link and code; whoever loads it with Fly this task and agrees to be followed shows along it on the glider radar, behind the Day tasks button beside Competitions. Under Declare on WeGlide, share the task as a .cup file and open WeGlide to declare it there before take-off.
Statistics with charts: the new Statistics button at the top of the logbook shows flight time and launches per month, this year against earlier years, the total over the years and the time per aircraft. Tap a figure to open the logbook filtered to the flights behind it; the Longest flight tile opens that flight.
The rain radar looks ahead: slide its time bar past now into the next two hours' forecast from the German and Dutch weather services, to see whether a shower will reach the field, and when.
Glider radar: the day replay is a layer button, off until you want it. The aircraft box opens smaller, with the rest behind More, and while you play a flight back its barogram moves to the bottom of the screen so the glider stays in sight. Give a favourite a colour of your own by tapping its colour bar in the favourites list. An aircraft not heard for a while is marked as such, instead of a "Heard … ago" row for every aircraft.
Favourite aircraft are kept with your account when you are signed in, the same on every phone and on the web; restoring a backup adds to them instead of replacing them.
On the web at app.krimsoft.net: the glider radar and the flight radar, the rain radar with its forecast, day tasks beside the routes, and charts in the statistics.
A turnpoint's sector now faces away from the course on a right-hand turn; it faced into it in the glide computer and on competition tasks.
0.95.16
Routes and day tasks apart: the map's plan button opens Routes for powered flying – From/To, cruising level, alternates, pilot log, weight & balance and flight plan – and Day tasks for gliding – the club's day tasks, those opened by code and your own tasks, without a cruising level. With gliding and a powered mode both switched on, a Routes | Day tasks switch at the top chooses between them.
Day tasks that fit the day: the task editor gives the estimated duration at your cross-country speed, the soaring window from the thermal forecast, the forecast thermal top and cloud base in the side view, DMSt zones and the WeGlide shape with its scoring distance and bonus – and Suggest a task proposes a triangle, quadrilateral or out-and-return from your field. Share as day task with your club or by link and code; whoever loads it with Fly this task and agrees to be followed shows along it on the glider radar, behind the Day tasks button beside Competitions. Under Declare on WeGlide, share the task as a .cup file and open WeGlide to declare it there before take-off.
Statistics with charts: the new Statistics button at the top of the logbook shows flight time and launches per month, this year against earlier years, the total over the years and the time per aircraft. Tap a figure to open the logbook filtered to the flights behind it; the Longest flight tile opens that flight.

A turnpoint's sector now faces away from the course on a right-hand turn; it faced into it in the glide computer and on competition tasks.
0.95.15
Online logbook: switch it on under Settings → Backup → Online logbook, and your logbook, routes and aircraft are kept on FlightLog's servers and in step on all your phones. When a flight was changed on two devices, the app shows both versions detail by detail and you choose the one to keep.
FlightLog on the web at app.krimsoft.net: sign in with your email address to open your online logbook in a browser – search your flights, sort them on any column and edit them, read the statistics and replay a flight on the map with its barogram, over the aeronautical chart and airspace if you like – and plan routes with the side view, pilot log, loadsheet and weather.
Competitions on the glider radar: put up to four classes from SoaringSpot on the map with the day's task and its zones, the entrants ringed in the class's colour and where each one is on the task – started, next turnpoint and speed, finished or landed out. Fly this task loads it as your own task.
Backups made on Android now restore in full on the iPhone; an aircraft a backup cannot read stays on the phone.
0.95.14
Clouds on the map: Meteosat's satellite picture on the normal map and the glider radar, in flight too, in daylight. The latest picture shows at once and the last two hours play in a loop on a time bar; clouds and rain show one at a time, over the aeronautical chart.
Thermal forecast from the German weather service's ICON-D2 model: a coloured layer for the whole screen with the rating, thermal strength, thermal top or cloud base, hour by hour for today and tomorrow, readable over the chart.
Now & next: the forecast for now and the next two hours, corrected with the climbs gliders really found and the latest cloud picture. Tap a place for a Height & time diagram of the day, and read the region's short soaring briefing, written twice a day.
Rain radar and terrain: the rain from the German radar network every five minutes, with KNMI's radars over the Netherlands and Belgium, played in a loop like the clouds; and shaded terrain relief on both maps.
A glider's day on the glider radar: its track and barogram coloured by thermal and glide, where and when it took off, its height above ground, a summary and the list of thermals and glides. Arrival heights show what it would have left over the fields within 60 km at the glide ratio you choose.
Today's ranking of the gliders in view by cross-country distance, and Compare to put your highlighted favourites' day side by side. Airliners that the glider network mistakes for gliders no longer top the ranking or draw tracks and lift.
One search field on the glider radar: empty, it lists your favourites – flying first, then on the ground, then not heard now; typed, it finds any glider by registration or competition number, and a tap takes the map to it wherever it flies. Each highlighted favourite has its own colour on the map and in the list.
A bar of its own on the right of the glider radar: buttons for the layers at the top – clouds or rain, terrain, the thermal forecast and lift, coloured when on – and below them home, your own position and back to the aeronautical chart.
More traffic receivers under Traffic → Devices: besides the FLARM over Bluetooth, PowerFLARM Fusion and Flex, a FLARM behind Air Connect, the AT-1, PilotAware, SkyEcho 2, Levil and Flybox, and any device that sends FLARM or GDL 90 data over its own Wi-Fi.
Please sign in: reading logbook photos and the live traffic on the glider radar now need you to be signed in with your email address – it takes a code from your mailbox and a minute. The account screen can also sign out this phone or delete your account.
Safer while you fly: the track is saved every minute in the air, so a flight is kept even if the phone dies on the way, and the app picks it up again when it starts. A restore now says what it could not read.
The version in Settings also shows when the app was built, so a feedback message tells us exactly which build you have.
0.95.13
The glider radar's map menu holds only the map choice and the lift switch, so the map stays clean; wind, NOTAMs and obstacles are not fetched while it is shown.
0.95.12
Glider radar: move the map to anywhere in the Benelux and Germany and see the gliding there live, each glider with its call sign. Tap one for its track since midnight, a barogram, its cross-country distance and a slider to play its flight back with height, climb and speed at each moment. Search by registration or competition number.
Replay the day: a time bar at the bottom takes the glider radar back to any moment today – every glider where it was, with a short trail, played on at 10, 60 or 300 times.
Lift layer, one tap on or off: where gliders found thermals and cloud streets in the hour before, now or at the moment you replay, coloured by climb.
Favourite gliders: tap the star in a glider's details, or find any aircraft in the OGN database, and highlight your favourites to keep them in view on the map with their tracks.
Only gliders on the glider radar: tow planes, touring motor gliders and powered aircraft whose FLARM says glider are left off, and it uses far less mobile data.
0.95.11
Glider radar: a map beside the flight radar with only gliders, wherever in the Benelux and Germany you look, each labelled by its call sign. Tap one for its track since midnight, a barogram, its cross-country distance and a slider to play the flight back; search by registration or competition number.
Lift layer on the glider radar, one tap on or off: where gliders found thermals and cloud streets this last hour, coloured by climb and fading with age.
Logbook photos: keep photographing pages until you are done, pages that could not be read are tried again or read again with one tap, and each page is kept with its flights and in backups.
Old Dutch glider logbooks are read as they are filled in: the ticked L/S/M launch columns, the instructor's signature and number, flight times checked against the page totals. Flights can be marked as a student's solo, and a page read again puts right the PIC or dual of flights already in the logbook.
Screens no longer close when the phone is turned, and live traffic uses far less mobile data.
Speeds read km/h.
0.95.10
Laying out the club's glider circuit: in Settings, Airfields, place each runway's base line and the landing fields of each landing direction on a photograph of the field. While landing there, the map draws the left- and right-hand circuit, 700 m out, with the checkpoint abeam the landing field and the turn onto base where it lies 45° behind. Shared with every member through the club.
The barograph and a flight's highest point come from the phone's barometer: a winch launch to 350 m no longer shows as 280 m.
Import historical flights from a spreadsheet, Excel or CSV, with the columns read by AI where needed. Logbook pages say whether a flight was PIC or dual, and a powered logbook's tow count is read too.
A day of towing written as one line in your powered logbook is checked against that day's tows, and the logbook has Powered and Gliding halves – hidden when you only glide.
Units per mode: metres and km/h for gliding, feet and knots for flying, if you like.
A flight picked up without being prepared no longer takes the day's tow plane; pick its aircraft from the fleet when editing it.
Flights flown in the second seat carry a purple tag and can be filtered on.
Linking with GlidingApp: what it takes in is written in the flight's history, a powered aircraft's own takeoff is no longer a self-launch, a flight brought in twice is merged, and a tow without a landing is still matched. The tow pilot is filled in where the start administration left it out.
The tow plane's hour meter goes into GlidingApp's engine fields, and a flight's block time comes from the readings every member's phone and GlidingApp have.
Share an aircraft as one .flg file – settings, take-off and tow tables, weight and balance, checklists and its papers with their expiry dates – that opens with a tap.
Android: a newer version is offered when the app opens, and installed with one tap.
0.95.9
A glide computer while a glider flies: eight boxes across the top – vario, thermal average, altitude, arrival height, L/D, wind, distance, speeds and more, each chosen by holding it – and a final glide bar down the left, to the task's finish, a field you picked, the route's end or home.
On the map: the area within gliding range, checked against the ground, the nearby fields with their arrival heights in green, orange or red, the line to where you are gliding, and the thermals of this flight. The Fields button lists the fields within reach; one tap makes one the target.
A thermal assistant while circling shows on which side the core is, and the wind is worked out from the drift while you circle. The MC button sets the MacCready, the water, the bugs and the safety height.
The vario comes from the phone's barometer and can be heard as beeps. A gliding instrument – LX, LXNAV, XCVario or OpenVario – connected over Bluetooth like a FLARM adds its total-energy vario, airspeed, netto and speed to fly.
Each glider gets its polar: picked from some seventy types, suggested from its name, or the handbook's own figures, with its mass and water.
Fly a route as a gliding task, racing or through assigned areas, with a line, cylinder, FAI sector, keyhole or sector at each point. The zones are on the map, the start, turnpoints and finish are recognised in the air, and the task can be shared as a .cup file.
Settings, Gliding: the glide computer's settings and your own SeeYou .cup waypoint files. Their fields to land out in join the list of fields, their turnpoints are drawn on the map and a route snaps to them, and their tasks become routes.
Gliding mode: the app about gliders alone. The pilot log, the ICAO flight plan and the loadsheet are out of sight, and a route is a task from the start.
SkySight and TopMeteo open from the weather screen, signed in with an account stored on the phone.
Send a glider flight to WeGlide. IGC files now name the glider's type and the pilot, and declare the task flown.
The screen stays on while a flight is set up or flying, and a sunlight contrast makes the glide computer's panels solid for a bright canopy.
Flights are only detected automatically when you ask: off by default, or switched on at a field when the app asks, until you leave it.
Where you fly stays on your phone: the traffic area asked for is coarse, a feedback report leaves positions out unless you include them, and the privacy policy says so.
Less battery in the background: the GPS rests away from airfields, and live traffic and the wind stop while the app is not on screen.
A tapped aircraft turns red and the map moves onto it, and its popup says how far above or below you it is.
What's new is shown in the app's own language.
0.95.8
Other traffic on the map: what the OGN ground stations hear and ADS-B from adsb.lol, with a FLARM in the aircraft over Bluetooth – an LXNAV PowerMouse with BLE – whose warnings come up over the map and on the watch. Switch it on and off in the map's layers menu, and choose the kinds to show under Settings, Traffic.
Each aircraft is drawn as its kind – glider, light aircraft, helicopter, jet, paraglider, balloon, drone – turned along its track: orange from the FLARM, yellow from OGN and ADS-B, red while the FLARM warns. Its label gives its height above or below you.
Tap an aircraft for a popup that moves with it: registration, type, airline and call sign, where it flies from and to, height, speed, track, climb and distance. A transponder's height is given on the QNH.
Flight radar, a fourth choice beside the chart, the plain map and Satellite: satellite pictures with all traffic at every height and further around, and none of the chart's marks.
Satellite on Android, with sharp aerial photographs over the Netherlands, Flanders, Wallonia and North Rhine-Westphalia once zoomed in. On the iPhone, Apple's satellite map now shows the traffic too.
Without mobile signal the map says that live traffic cannot be reached, and that only the FLARM's traffic is shown.
An aircraft keeps its documents – the flight manual, the checklist, the insurance, the certificate of airworthiness, the radio licence, the maintenance records and the weighing report – as a file or a photo, with an expiry date that Claude can read off the first page. They go along when the aircraft is shared.
Go fly says which papers have run out or are about to: the aircraft's, and your own medical and licence.
Weight and balance for a route, at take-off and at landing, against the envelope from the flight manual.
Read weight and balance from the flight manual and the weighing report: Claude reads the pages, and every figure is shown with its page and its words, to be ticked before it is used.
Android keeps its text at its own size whatever the phone's font size is set to, and its Go fly bar puts the route on a second line.
Android no longer watches for a takeoff away from any airfield, so a drive down the motorway is not taken for a flight.
On the iPhone, tapping a waypoint on the map shows its own capsule with the cross, as on the side view.
0.95.7
When a tow is prepared, pick the glider on the rope and see the take-off distance to 15 m from the tow plane's flight manual – for one or two in the glider, with or without water, and two in the tow plane – against what the runway has, with the weather at the field.
FlightLog advises which runway and where to start, intersections included ("28 from 02/20"), shows the crosswind, and checks the climb over tree lines and masts past the runway's end. Enter a runway's slope and its obstacles under Slope and obstacles.
A glider's aerotow speed counts: a Fox towed at 130 km/h needs a longer run and climbs flatter.
Aircraft settings as in SkyDemon: climb, cruise and descent, gliding, fuel and loading, the flight plan details, a minimum runway and the running costs. The aircraft have their own group in Settings, the list can be searched and filtered on the club's, and an aircraft can be shared with another FlightLog user.
The pilot log: track, wind, heading, ground speed, time, MSA, fuel and frequencies for each leg, with the takeoff and landing filled in when they are detected, and an A5 PDF to preview, print or share.
Preparing a tow: Two in the tow plane is asked above the glider, and leaves the two-seaters out of the list. Type the glider's mass and its water in litres for the tow, and tap a warning about a missing glide ratio, mass, tow speed or take-off tables to fill in just that figure.
The tow screen takes over the runway surface for the field, and wet grass and the start picked for the rest of the day.
A glider has its seats and its engine: sustainer, self-launcher or FES. The seats are filled in from the name for the usual types. A self-launcher gets Self-launch in Go fly, and a glider's settings leave out the cruising level, and the fuel unless its engine burns any. Its best glide speed is given in km/h, and the size of its water tanks is no longer asked: the water is typed in for each tow.
The side view along the map holds still while the route is dragged, and is drawn again once when it has come to rest.
On the map and the side view, waypoints look and work the same: tap one to remove it. Airfields stay on top of the route, and holding one no longer adds a waypoint.
The side view shows the obstacles the map's minimum height lets through, standing on the ground, over crisp place names.
0.95.6
Each leg of a route has a height of its own. On the side view, drag the planned line up or down for a leg, hold on it to put in a waypoint (on the map too), and tap a waypoint's dot to pick it or remove it.
Hold anywhere else on the side view to see what is at that point along the route: the airspace, NOTAMs, obstacles, wind and nearby fields, as a press on the map shows.
The side view shows the airspace and obstacles along the whole route, and draws the planned line in the route's purple.
Fixed: simulating a route straight to a higher field stopped after fifteen seconds. The simulation now flies each leg at its own height.
0.95.5
The route screen shows the same side view as the map: forty kilometres at a time and scrolling, with the towns and villages, airfields, reporting points and obstacles on it.
0.95.4
With a route on the map, its side view runs along the bottom of the screen: forty kilometres at a time, scrolling along a longer route, with the towns and villages, airfields, reporting points and obstacles on it – and in the air the aircraft from the side, where it is along the route.
The NOTAM screen has a button at the top for every NOTAM along the route on the map.
A flight's takeoff time is where the acceleration that led to it began, and its landing time where it has slowed to 30 kt after touching down.
The route is drawn as thin on the route screen as on the map.
The test-mode buttons that marked the real takeoff and landing are gone: the detection no longer needs measuring.
0.95.3
Go fly on an aircraft that goes on the daily card asks only what each kind of flight needs: a test, a private flight and a tow are flown in command by you and ask nothing about the crew; a lesson is always dual and asks the pilot in command and the student, who goes on the card. The training switch is gone for such an aircraft.
A tow is flown by you: the tow preparation no longer asks who tows. The towing mode is only offered to a tow pilot – someone marked as one in the list of people.
Fixed: reading the hour meter off a photo could get the hours wrong by a digit – 642 for 645, or 65 for 650. The hours are now read digit by digit off the counter.
0.95.2
An aircraft that goes on the daily card asks at Go fly which of the card's four kinds of flight it is: Test, Private, Lesson or Tow. A private flight and a lesson are for a person; a tow is for a person or the donor, and choosing it switches to the towing mode.
The hour meter reading after each flight is written into the flight's description in GlidingApp, with the block time it gives, as soon as the flight is there – and every such change is in the flight's own history.
The day's QNH is taken from the nearest METAR and can be set by hand from the flight strip; airspace on flight levels is placed where that QNH puts it, in the warnings and the route's side view.
In the air, weather and NOTAMs open as a half sheet with the map still in sight: the weather on the flight's own fields, the NOTAMs along the route. The flight buttons are lower, and Go fly and the location button close in to 1:75K.
Fixed: on Android the map let go of the aircraft after Go fly, so it flew off the screen while the location button still said it was followed.
Fixed: on Android the tracking notification popped up in the status bar every minute of a flight.
Fixed: an hour meter reading was sent to the club several times over, and one flight's block time in GlidingApp was changed from 11 to 21 minutes; it is put right from the readings.
Fixed: a reading entered before the start administration had the flight in GlidingApp never reached it; it now does as soon as the flight is linked.
Fixed: on Android phones older than Android 14, saving an airfield chart could close the app.
0.95.1
On Android, flying has its own screen as well: a strip across the top with the time flown, height, speed and what matters most now – the climb to the tow height, the time left on the route, or the way home – and three big buttons below: Weather, NOTAMs and a solid red Stop fly.
On Android, a flight is compared with GlidingApp on its block time and fields as well, shows the change history of everything sent, taken or edited, and is marked Differs from GlidingApp in the logbook – as on iPhone. A flight's history travels in a backup between the two.
0.95
FlightLog speaks your language: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese, chosen at the first start and under Settings → Language. NOTAMs, METARs and airspace names stay as they were published.
Sign in with your email address: a code by mail, no password. Your account is what finds your cloud copy and your club link again on a new phone, and linking to the club now goes by that same address.
Warnings in flight: an obstacle you are flying at, airspace you are about to enter and NOTAM areas over your track, over the map as they come up. Not now puts one away for ten minutes, Never for good. On iPhone they come to your Apple Watch as well, with its own taps and a complication.
FlightLog draws its own map under the chart, with the hills shaded, and a downloaded region works with no connection at all. Obstacles are built from OpenStreetMap — far more of them, with their heights, each kind with its own symbol — and every gliding field, drop zone and paragliding site has its mark.
On iPhone, flying has its own screen: a strip across the top with the time flown, height, speed and what matters most now — the climb to the tow height, the time left on the route, or the way home — and three big buttons below: Weather, NOTAMs and a solid red Stop fly.
Routes have a cruising level, a side view of the ground, masts and airspace under them, and a check before they are saved. A route can be kept in the cloud, flown as a simulation at twenty times life, and turned into the ICAO flight plan with the way to file it at your briefing office. A new route names itself after its fields and the day.
Aircraft keep their fuel — usable, burn and reserve — and their weight and balance; you keep your details for the flight plan, and your licence and medical with the date each runs out.
Helicopter and Balloon are modes of their own.
A flight's page replays the flight along its barograph, keeps a photo of the logbook page it is written on, and reads in a better order: the aircraft, launch, duration and distance under the flight, date and time under takeoff and landing, and a tow's target height after the flight too.
A flight picked up on its own can be made a tow afterwards, with who it was for and the glider on the rope. A name that is not in the list can be typed, and kept for the day or added for good.
Times measured in the aircraft now win over the start administration's; the club's times are kept beside them. Circuits and the landing runway are read from the touchdown itself, and a landing always counts as an approach.
The daily card lists the day's flights in the order they were flown, can be read before it is sent, prints the ending hour meter beside the starting one, and centres its meter, runway and circuit columns. After a tow the hour meter suggests the last reading plus the time flown.
The hour meter screen in the logbook chooses the aircraft, and shows each one's own readings. With the phone linked to GlidingApp, every hour meter reading is kept centrally for the whole club and noted on its flight in GlidingApp, and a new day starts from the last reading anyone took on that aircraft.
Your flights can be sent to GlidingApp, and a flight that differs from GlidingApp's copy says so and can be put right either way. The club's flight administrators get the club logbook: every flight of the day in GlidingApp, changed, added, deleted or restored there, with a full audit trail.
On iPhone, the moving map runs on MapLibre, FlightLog runs on iPad as well, and the map screen's bars wrap to two lines where a phone is too narrow.
The logbook's bar no longer squeezes its title between the buttons, and a flight's page leaves out an empty section.

Landing charts and field information, kept on the phone: an airfield's page and a flight plan open the country's own AIP inside FlightLog, and what you fetch there is kept with the AIRAC cycle it came from — so months later it says "three cycles behind" and offers to fetch the current one.
A field's page reads out what its AIP pages say: when it is open, the rules in its remarks, its transition altitude and who runs it. From open flightmaps, a country at a time.
Everything the map knows about a place is on one page: hold your finger on the map for the airspace, the NOTAMs, the obstacles, the reporting points and the wind over that point, whether or not the layer that draws them is on. A symbol you press — a mast, a NOTAM marker — stands at the top of that page.
NOTAMs in plain words: Settings → NOTAM text chooses the published message, the decoded one, or both. The FIR's own paperwork is left out of every list, and what names the tightest patch of ground comes first.
The NOTAM screen asks around the map or around your position, picks an airfield the way the rest of the app does, and says plainly when the map is showing too much country to ask about.
The wind barbs keep still while the map is dragged, are drawn whole rather than clipped at the edge of their icon, and the worked-out ones wear the same yellow as the measured ones.
Obstacles are drawn twice the size and stay put while you zoom; the reporting points are drawn when their switch says so and are never pushed off the map by anything else.
The map button wears a badge in each corner for the layer it belongs to, and the layers menu says how many of each it has to draw.
The weather screen can be pointed at another airfield again.

Everything the map knows about a place is on one page: hold your finger on the map for the airspace, the NOTAMs, the obstacles, the reporting points and the wind over that point, whether or not the layer that draws them is on. Barbs, NOTAM markers and obstacle symbols no longer open pop-ups of their own.
The wind barbs stay where they are while the map is panned, instead of shifting with it.
Obstacles on the map under Map layers: masts, chimneys, wind turbines and tall buildings as a chart draws them, with their height in feet — and listed for a point you hold and along a flight plan's route.
The reporting points can be switched off in the map layers menu, and a NOTAM is shown where its own text says it is rather than at the airfield it was filed against.
A NOTAM button in the top bar: look up a field's NOTAMs, those around you or those along your route, keep the list while you look at the map, and put any of them on the map with Show on map.
The map layers menu also switches the reporting points off, and the buttons on the right sit in one bar like those above and below.
NOTAMs: their areas on the map under Map layers, and the NOTAMs for an airfield, for a point you hold, and within 15 km of a flight plan's route. They come from the FAA's service, which carries the international and military series worldwide — over the Netherlands that is Schiphol, the Amsterdam FIR and the military fields; a small gliding field usually has none.
The wind on the map is drawn in bright yellow, with more barbs at once, and the wind between the stations is worked out from the stations around it, so the map shows the whole field of wind.
On Android, the app no longer closes when location is not given at the first start: the map opens without the aircraft symbol, and the symbol and the tracking start as soon as permission is given — in the question or later in Android's settings.
0.92
Cloud backups go to FlightLog's own storage instead of the club's, so they work without a GlidingApp connection. Backups made before are not in the new storage: make a new one.
The map layers button chooses the aeronautical chart or the standard map — or, on iPhone, the satellite picture — and switches on the wind: airfields' METARs and KNMI's stations as wind barbs, tapped for the wind and when it was measured.
The club question at setup, and the club's settings, only appear when Glider or Glider Towing is among the modes in use.
The tow pilot is chosen when a tow is set up with Go fly — filled in from GlidingApp's roster or the last tow — and kept for the tows after; Active tow pilot is gone from Settings.
Request gliding.app access by choosing your club from the list and giving your name and member number — in the setup questions or under Settings → GlidingApp — and after a code mailed to you, the club's connection and your flights are set up by themselves.
A takeoff is only looked for within 5 km of an airfield, or wherever a flight was set up with Go fly, so a drive on the motorway is no longer taken for one; on Android the tracking notification no longer pops up while driving.
In testmode, a flight's page can send the whole flight — diagnostics, the flight and its track — with its feedback to FlightLog's maker.
0.91
Flights record the crew: PIC or dual, the pilot in command, and whether it was a training flight — asked by Go fly, taken from GlidingApp and paper logbooks, and totalled in the logbook summary.
A flight's page draws its track as a thin, smooth blue line, so the turns and the map underneath can be read.
Tapping a route's departure, destination or alternate on the map opens the field like any other: its frequencies, and ⓘ for its page.
After the first start's tour, FlightLog offers a few setup questions: home airfield, regions and their chart, units and the modes you fly.
Recording the runway and circuit direction can be switched off per mode under Settings → Mode Options.
Erase all data in Settings takes the app back to how it was when installed, after suggesting a backup and asking twice.
Choose which modes you use under Settings → Mode Options; the map offers only those, and no menu with just one.
The tour ends by showing where the user guide is, GlidingApp heads the club settings, and the app icon fills its corners without a light border.
Airspace, reporting points and KNMI weather without API keys: they come through FlightLog's own data service, and a country's airspace is kept on the phone for use without signal.
Terms of Use, a Privacy Policy and a Disclaimer to accept on first start, and to read again under Settings → Legal.
0.9
Backup & Restore in Settings: back up all of the app or parts of it to a file or to the cloud, encrypted with a recovery code, and restore it on any iPhone or Android phone.
Flight plans can have one or more alternate airfields, shown on the map with a dashed line from the destination.
What's new is offered the first time the app opens after an update, and Settings keeps the version history.
Settings has an About section.
A field's callout closes once its page, opened with ⓘ, is closed again.
A new chart cycle is announced at startup and downloaded with a progress bar on the map.
Feedback & suggestions can be sent from Settings.
Choose per field which frequencies the app shows; a field's page has its frequencies, METAR and runway wind.
Import flights from photos of a paper logbook, checked before they are added.
Hour meter and logbook photos are read through the club's proxy, without an API key of your own.
A tour of the main screen on first launch, and the user guide inside the app.
