PilotBound
Free student flight logbook
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your flights log themselves. Every Part 61 hour tracks to checkride. CFIs answer in-app. Free logbook built by a CFI, for student pilots.
The free training logbook built by a CFI for student pilots.
Most pilot logbook apps were built for working pilots. They assume you already know what FAR 61.109 is. PilotBound was built for the years when you don't yet, and need to know exactly what counts toward your certificate.
Every flight auto-logs from your phone's GPS. Every hour ladders into your real Part 61 requirements. And there's a community of students and CFIs in-app when you need an answer between lessons.
KNOW WHERE YOU STAND
• See every Part 61 or part 141 requirements you've completed and what's left
• Track hours toward Private, Instrument, Commercial, CFI, or ATP
• Catch every milestone: first solo, first cross-country, first night flight
• Training momentum and weekly flying streaks, visible at a glance
YOUR FAA LOGBOOK
• GPS auto-records every flight, taxi to landing
• All FAA logbook fields: PIC, dual, solo, cross-country, night, instrument, approaches, landings, holds
• 3D replay of every flight you can scrub to debrief maneuvers and pattern work
• Aggregate totals always up to date
ASK BETWEEN LESSONS
• A community built for student pilots, not airline pilots
• Ask questions and get answers from other students and CFIs
• Share flights, milestones, and weather notes
• Your logbook stays private by default; share individual flights when you want to
SHARE YOUR PROGRESS
• One-tap flight cards for Instagram, your training group, or the family group chat
• Celebrate your first solo, your first long cross-country, your checkride pass
• Pick feed or story format, share anywhere
Built for student pilots working toward Private, Instrument, Commercial, CFI, or ATP. Whether you're 5 hours in or 60 days from your checkride, PilotBound keeps your training in one place. Free, forever.
