Aircraft logbook instead of Excel
Pilots log flights on their phones. Tach hours and landings add up on their own, and maintenance and billing work from the same flights.
What changes
A spreadsheet works until two people hold different copies or someone overwrites a formula. In Tachly the group shares one record, and nobody has to maintain the formulas.
In the browser or the installed app, or by sharing a track from SkyDemon, ForeFlight or EasyVFR and confirming the prefilled flight. Everyone sees the same flights.
Tach hours and landings are worked out for every flight. Correct a flight or add a forgotten one, and every later total follows.
A flight can't land before it took off or last longer than 12 hours, and a new flight needs at least one landing. Times are stored in whole minutes, so nothing drifts through rounding.
Pilots can change their own flights and admins can change any flight. Changes go into a log that admins can read.
Items with an hour limit follow the hours your group logs, and the list shows what is due soon, due or overdue.
The billing module turns logged tach time into a statement per pilot, with your group's rate applied and fuel a pilot bought credited at your home-base price.
Moving from Excel
Add your aircraft with today's tach hours and landings. Every flight logged in Tachly adds to them.
Leave them in your file, or send us the Excel or CSV file with your instructions and we import it for you. We adjust your starting figures so no hour is counted twice.
Invite your pilots and log the next flight in Tachly.
Tachly doesn't replace the legally required journey log on its own. In Switzerland the paper book stays the record until BAZL has recognised your concept and you switch on the digital journey log. Elsewhere, ask your aviation authority.
FAQ
Not on your own. You send us your Excel or CSV file and say what is in it, and we run the import for you.
No. You can start with today's tach hours and landings and keep older flights in your file. Tachly then makes no claim about those older flights.
Not on its own. In Switzerland the paper book stays the record until BAZL has recognised your concept and you set the day Tachly takes over. Outside Switzerland, ask your aviation authority.
Tachly stays readable offline, but saving is paused. Log the flight once you are back in range.
No. The records in Tachly belong to the aircraft. It can send your flights to LogTen Pilot Logbook or capzlog.aero, where your personal logbook stays.
One aircraft is free, forever, with unlimited pilots. If you operate more than one, get in touch.
