MOBILE APPLICATION FOR FLIGHT LOGGING

Systems and methods for logging flight time in one or more digital logbooks employ an application that runs on mobile devices to determine when aircraft takeoff and aircraft landings have occurred. Indications of the determined aircraft takeoff and an indication of the determined aircraft landing are stored in memory. The mobile devices send determined aircraft takeoffs and aircraft landings to a data management server, which queries an official flight data source for office flight records that correspond to the determined aircraft takeoffs and determined aircraft landings. The mobile device, via the mobile application, requests confirmation of whether the user was a required flight crew member on a flight corresponding to the determined aircraft takeoff and the determined aircraft landing.
