EASA Lite updated - Pilot Logbook with Excel spreadsheet option

EASA Lite has been updated to create an Excel log book. The map view has been updated to use different modes: normal, satellite and hybrid. The pro version will also have terrain mode. The pro version will be released in a few weeks time.

EASA version updated - synchronise pilot log book with Google Drive

I've updated the app to synchronise the log book with Google Drive. This will allow the user to backup and update different android devices from Google Drive.

EASA version updated

I've updated the EASA version. It can now handle "date last flown" currency types as well as fixed date currency. I've also made more use of the action bar and action items.

fix for accented characters

I've applied a fix for accented characters (French,Spanish, etc). This should be rolling out in the next version.

JAR EASA version of logitPPL launched.

A European version (Jar 1.080 compliant) of logitPPL has been launched. New features include:

• ICAO lookup. 
• Satellite view. 
• UTC time display
• Excel reporting using backup file on your pc.  Get the free reporting tool in the download page.

Views optimised for tablets.

The app is only €0.99 for the Pro version. But there is a Lite version to try before you buy.

Get the App

JAR-EASA or FAA

I've had a number of requests to make a JAR-EASA (JAR 1.080) version and an FAA version. Let me know which one you want and I will look into making that version next.

logitPPL Lite - flight tracker - display flight track using Google Earth

I have added flight tracking to the app. The app records gps coordinates and saves them to a file. The file (which is a kml file) is used off the android device on a PC. Google Earth recognises the kml file and displays the flight track. See example page.

Android 4 rollout

My xoom updated to Android 4 this week and my logitPPL lite version works well. Hopefully the other tablets and handhelds will get the new version soon. This is good from a developer point of view because I have one less version of the app to maintain. On the down side, I do not have a tablet with honeycomb to test. 

I’m working on flight tracking functionality, initial testing looks ok. It allows you to track a flight, save a file to a pc and show your flight track on Google Earth.

I’ve had some feed back regarding my translation into other languages. The translation is not as good as it should be, let me know how the French and German translation is and I will correct.  

v1.10 problem resolved

There was a problem with version logitPPL lite v1.10. It was caused by the code obfuscator tool. This has been resolved in version 1.11.

logitPPL has launched as a paid app - 99 cent

logitPPL launched yesterday as an unrestricted paid app. If you have been using the Lite version, you can import the backup-file.

I've added a license check. This prevents copies of the app from being hacked, circulated and used without payment. The app is only 99 cent so it wouldn’t be worth hacking. I implemented it more for a tutorial or learning exercise for myself.

Let me know how you get on and keep the feed-back coming.


I hope to release a desk top version over the next few weeks. This will allow you to synchronise data with the Android app. It will contain more graphing features and I hope to add reporting to PDF files.

logitPPL Lite v1.6 - custom filter

I've added a custom filter to allow users set their own start date and end date for filtering log entries.
I've also added a German translation.

Thanks to all those that are using this app. There has been a good response from England, France, Spain and Germany. I will add other translations if there is a demand. If my/googles translations are not good let me know.

I hope to release the unrestricted version some time soon, within the next week, for €0.99 cent.

logitPPL Lite - 1.5 released today - Uses the Android Wheel by kankan

I liked the look and feel of the Android Wheel and thought it would work in my app. I've used it for the flight date, depart time and arrival time fields. If the feed back is good I might use it for other fields.

I changed the layout of the main page from tabs to a grid layout.

Added translation for Spanish.

logitPPL Lite v1.3 - reformatted summary page

I've changed the summary page: The columns line up better and I've added a "Grand Total" field. I've also added colour to the columns.

I've added a new field on the log entry screen: Duration. It shows the length of the flight. When invalid flight times are entered the field turns red.

Update and delete functionality added.

Sequence number added to summary page.

Tab icons added.

Let me know how you get on.

 I'm working on the delete and update log functionality. Should be released in the next week or so.

logitPPL - version 1.1 released today

I made changes for "multiple screen layouts" recommended by Android for 3.2. The screens have also had cosmetic changes. For the better I hope.

• Log screen: horizontal scroll added.

• Screen table layout background changed to white.
