Pilots can conveniently log their flights, save them in a database and export them for use with spreadsheets (CSV) and send them by email. Also, airports, aircrafts and pilots can be saved and then used in flights. Additionally, users can view a detailed summary of their flight times and landings. In “eFlightBook Pro”, users can furthermore synchronize their entire database with a back office server and manage their clients and licenses. More features can be included as in-app purchases. These include a full database email export, a downloadable global airport database, a fuel converter, unlimited licenses and papers and a manager for additional duty hours. For the most part, the Android and iPhone versions of eFlightBook share the same functionality and a comparable user interface. However, some differences are present, due to different frameworks and design philosophies of Android and iOS. Notice: You have no guaranty that this user manual describes the functionality of the current app version you have downloaded from the store.
