The smart pilot's logbook — and the people around it

Log Scan Pro keeps your flight records accurate from the first entry, then connects you to your instructor, your flight school and — only with your authorization — your insurer.

The logbook is always freeWorks entirely on its own — no instructor or school required

How Log Scan Pro is built

Log Scan Pro is one system with five kinds of account. Nobody's records are copied between them. A pilot owns their logbook; an instructor owns their certificate record; a school owns its roster and aircraft; an insurer receives reports. Everything else is a relationship that both sides confirm, and that can be ended without erasing the history already signed. The pilot logbook stands on its own — you never need an instructor, school or insurer account to log, validate, chart and print your flights, and it's free for life.

Pilots & students

Own their logbook, vault and reports.

Instructors

One record for flight and ground, school or independent.

Organizations

Flight schools, FBOs and ground schools: rosters, aircraft, scheduling, courses.

Insurers

Reports only, with authorization.

Records stay with their owner

Access is granted by relationship, never by browsing.

History is preserved

Signed endorsements and reports keep a snapshot of the moment they were made.

Authorization is explicit

A pilot report is only produced when that pilot authorizes it.

Who it's for

Pick the account that matches your role. Pilot accounts are active right away; the others are reviewed and approved before the extra role is granted.

Pilots & students

A logbook that checks your work

Every entry is validated against 14 CFR § 61.51 as you type, so mistakes are caught on the ramp instead of at a checkride.

The logbook is free for life and works on its own — no instructor, school or insurer account needed
Searchable logbook grid with column toggles, three programmable filters and landscape print output
Baseline totals when you move over from a paper or another digital logbook
Currency, endorsements, flight reviews and the Pilot Vault for certificates and medicals
Charts for monthly hours, aircraft totals and airports flown
Go/No-Go analysis, Milestones training tracks and provider-reported ground school progress built in
Show or hide the parts you don't use — scheduling, flight school, instructors, courses, IFR Insights and Milestones each have their own switch

Already have a logbook? Bring your hours, not your paperwork.

You don't re-key years of flights. Count back 91 days: add up your logbook totals as of that date and enter them once as a baseline totals record — your totals and charts start from your real experience. Then log the flights from the last 91 days individually so your § 61.57 takeoff-and-landing currency is current from day one.

1
Create your free pilot account — active immediately.
2
Count back 91 days — add up your logbook totals as of that date (total time, PIC, night, landings, and the rest) and enter them as your baseline totals.
3
Log your last 91 days of flights — currency is live, and you log forward from here.

Everything before that 91-day cutoff is captured by your baseline totals — no need to enter it flight-by-flight.

Flight instructor reviewing charts at a flight school desk overlooking the ramp

Instructor — at a school

Teach at a school, keep one instructor record

Your certificate, ratings and signature live on one instructor record that follows you between schools — flight, ground, or both. What you are called follows your ratings: CFI, Ground Instructor (CGI), or CFI / CGI.

Endorsements generated from AC 61-65 text, printed on demand and linked to the aircraft used
Flight reviews and instrument proficiency checks with automatic endorsement text
Student roster from the schools that have confirmed you
Ground school courses on the Courses page — publish a class, post attendance, and the ground time and subject credit land in every student's records
Your school has to be registered in Log Scan Pro before you can connect to it — schools normally add and confirm their instructors themselves

Instructor — independent

Your record, your students, no school required

Self-employed flight and ground instructors control their own record and work directly with the pilots who hire them.

Own and maintain your instructor record, ratings and recent-experience dates
Pilots select you, you approve — then post endorsements straight into their logbooks
Run your own ground school course and post class credit to your students
Instruction rates and business details on your own profile
Join a school later without losing any signed history

Report catalog and a builder with saved column and filter templates
FBO customer grid with editable aircraft insurance requirements
One-off pilot logbook reports, authorized by the pilot and delivered as a dated snapshot
Optional Integrity Screening add-on: a statistical logbook consistency check, pilot-consented

Beyond the logbook

Milestones

Private, Commercial and Instrument training tracks that run at the same time — blended training the way it actually happens. Ground school credit posted by a connected school appears on the same tracks. The basic milestones are part of the free logbook: phase ladders and progress measured from your real logbook entries, training-item selection and personal notes. Premium adds the instructor side — phase-by-phase grading, written comments on each milestone, readiness and safety flags, signed stage records, and a printable lesson plan built around where you actually stand.

IFR Insights

The premium version of the free IFR milestones. The free IFR milestones track the rating checklist and your progress basics; IFR Insights adds expanded approach logging, per-approach analysis with training suggestions, and CFI comments on your instrument work — the detailed instrument product when the progress basics aren't enough.

Go/No-Go

The crown jewel of Log Scan Pro. A written risk analysis for a specific flight — weather and NOTAMs, terrain and obstacles, fuel and reserves, daylight and circadian factors, plus hazard bars and an at-a-glance verdict. Built to help you catch what a glance at the weather would miss, before you walk to the airplane. Mountain routes add a side-view Route Terrain Profile against your planned altitude, and every report can print a one-page, plain-language Passenger Brief (Part 91 or Part 135) tailored to the aircraft and the trip. Special flights get their own sections automatically: over-water and offshore sea state, high-altitude airports, mountains and backcountry, Alaska and remote areas, leaving the U.S., low-level patrol work and EMS scene landings.

The crown jewel

Go/No-Go — the analysis that can save a flight

More than a weather glance, Go/No-Go turns the details of a specific flight into a written risk analysis you can actually act on. It reads the route, the aircraft and the conditions, then gives you hazard bars and a clear verdict — the kind of second look that catches a problem before you're on the runway.

Weather & NOTAMs

Live METARs, TAFs and NOTAMs for departure, destination and the route between them, captured with timestamps.

Terrain & obstacles

Corridor obstacle and elevation scanning, with MSA awareness — especially valuable for low-level and rotorcraft operations.

Fuel & reserves

Planned fuel and reserves checked against the route and waypoints, so the math is done before engine start.

Light & circadian

Sunrise, sunset, civil twilight and moon phase, plus circadian-factor awareness for late or early flights.

Hazard bars

An at-a-glance risk strip across every factor, so the verdict is obvious in seconds, not minutes.

A written verdict

A narrative report you can print, save to PDF, or email — not a checklist, a real analysis for the flight you're about to fly.

Specialty Flight Briefings

One flight briefing does not fit every aircraft.

Specialty Go/No-Go briefings are available for rotorcraft, seaplane and amphibian, glider, and balloon operations. Each briefing evaluates the weather, terrain, aircraft performance, and operating conditions that matter specifically to that type of flight.

Glider briefings include thermal potential, usable soaring windows, cloud base, wind-adjusted glide considerations, lift conditions, and available landing options.

Balloon briefings evaluate launch and landing winds, low-level steering layers, an estimated drift track, daytime heating onset, convection, and dawn fog.

Single briefing: $9.95

Critical Briefing Package: $14.95

Three reports for one flight, delivered automatically at the times you choose, 12, 6 and 2 hours before departure by default.

Your three free credits work on specialty briefings too. Each credit covers either one single report or one full Critical Briefing Package (three timed reports).

The free logbook includes basic Milestones for Private, Commercial and IFR — progress basics measured from your own entries. Premium Milestones add instructor grading, comments, readiness and safety flags, signed stage records and printable lesson plans. IFR Insights is the premium version of the free IFR milestones: it adds expanded approach logging, per-approach analysis with training suggestions, and CFI comments. Ground school tracking is free: the classes a ground school or ground instructor posts check subjects off for you. Ground School Premium is an optional one-time layer that adds your instructor's per-subject grading, comments, a printable study plan, a signed knowledge-test readiness record and a printable completion report. Log Scan Pro does not offer or sell classes — the course itself always belongs to the school or instructor who teaches it, and they set any tuition. Milestone, Ground School Premium and IFR Insights purchases remain active until the applicable course is completed. Go/No-Go has no subscriptions or long-term commitments. Your first three reports are complimentary; after that, each report is $6.95, or $9.95 for specialty briefings (rotorcraft, seaplane/amphibian, glider and balloon). The three complimentary reports work on any briefing type. As an LSP Loyalty Bonus, every fifth post-trial report is complimentary. Critical Briefing Package includes three scheduled reports for one flight for $12.95 ($14.95 for specialty briefings); the default 12-, 6- and 2-hour review times may be adjusted, and all three complimentary reports may be used for one package. Critical package purchases are non-refundable. No logbook is required for reports — register a free Go/No-Go-only account and add the logbook later, or buy a single report or Critical package with no account; private guest report links remain available for seven days. 10-day money-back guarantee: Premium training upgrades (Milestones Premium, IFR Insights, and Ground School Premium) are backed by a full, no-hassle refund within 10 days of purchase — no reason needed. Request it from the product's dropdown on your profile. Refunding returns you to the free version; any instructor grading is saved and reappears if you re-purchase. Single Go/No-Go reports are refundable until generated.

Illustrative examples, built from fictional flight data so you can see the format before you create an account. They are not briefings and must not be used for flight planning.

Airplane

Fixed-wing evening cross-country — GO

KTOL → KFDY → KDAY · Cessna 150H (N6729S)

A VFR evening cross-country from Toledo to Dayton in a Cessna 150H, routed via KFDY. The report lands on GO: clear VFR at both ends, light winds, no convective impact and ample fuel margin — with night-arrival cautions for runway lighting, NOTAM'd equipment outages and towers along the route.

Helicopter

Rotary-wing night low-level leg — CAUTION

KSTL → KSUS → KMCI · Bell 505 (N306FD)

A 207 NM night VFR Bell 505 leg from St. Louis to Kansas City via Spirit of St. Louis, flown at about 1,000 ft AGL. The weather and fuel are solid, but the corridor holds 261 charted obstacles including 13 wires, and both airports carry active runway, taxiway and approach NOTAMs — producing a CAUTION with a mapped obstacle picture.

Glider

Glider local soaring flight — CAUTION

CA84 local soaring · Schweizer SGS 2-32 (N17948)

A local winch-launched soaring flight at Warner Springs in a Schweizer SGS 2-32. VFR is clean and the launch is workable, but the soaring forecast shows weak lift and no usable thermal window, so the report lands on CAUTION — with thermal tops, landout options, ridge and lee-side sink, and oxygen checked for the glider.

Balloon

Balloon dawn flight

Hot-air balloon · launch site picked on the map

Launch and landing wind against your limit, low-level steering winds, an estimated drift track on the map, heating onset, dawn fog and chase-crew notes.
