About Quicklogs
Built from a problem pilots kept running into
Quicklogs began when founder Dylan saw pilot friends struggling to move years of paper flight history into the digital tools they actually use—without retyping every line or blindly trusting a conversion.
The founder story
I started building a better answer in 2023.
I attend a large university flight school, so I spend a lot of time around pilots, instructors, and stacks of paper logbooks. I kept seeing the same problem with my friends: the flights were all there on paper, but getting them into ForeFlight, LogTen, or another digital logbook meant hours of typing.
Since 2023, I've been building Quicklogs to make that move less painful. The idea is simple: let software handle the repetitive reading and organizing, then let the pilot check every flight against the original page before anything moves forward.
Quicklogs grew out of a real problem I could see in the people around me. I'm still close to that problem, still building the product, and still listening when pilots find a logbook layout or edge case that needs a better answer.
Why it works this way
I never wanted Quicklogs to be a black box.
A pilot logbook is too important for software to read a page, make a few guesses, and call the job finished. A flight entry connects dates, aircraft, routes, time categories, landings, approaches, and remarks. Those relationships have to survive the move.
That is why Quicklogs keeps the page image beside the extracted flight, flags uncertain or incomplete values, and waits for the pilot to verify the record. The software does the tedious first pass. You stay in charge of the logbook.
Quicklogs is a product of QuickLogs Aviation Systems LLC, but it is still very much founder-led. I stay involved in the product and the guides you see here, so there is a short line between a pilot's question and what we improve next.
How the product thinks
AI does the first pass. Pilot review decides what is trusted.
The workflow is designed around traceability rather than invisible automation.
- Read the actual page. Quicklogs analyzes the layout and handwriting in a photograph or scan and turns the page into structured draft records.
- Show the work. The source image stays beside the extracted rows while uncertain values and recordkeeping issues are surfaced for review.
- Let the pilot decide. Only reviewed flights move into the verified logbook and become eligible for export or a direct LogTen handoff.
What matters here
The principles behind every Quicklogs workflow
- Keep the original paper books, especially signed endorsements and training records
- Show uncertainty instead of silently guessing at hard-to-read values
- Keep corrections traceable to the source page
- Treat pilot verification as the gate before export
- Preserve structured detail instead of reducing a career history to one total
- Make independent backups and portable exports part of the process
- Explain product limitations in plain language
Built to fit
Quicklogs is the on-ramp, not another logbook pilots have to maintain.
LogTen Pro, ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, and other digital logbooks are designed to manage structured flight records. Quicklogs focuses on the difficult step before that: getting existing paper history into a reviewed digital format.
Quicklogs is an official LogTen partner and supports a direct aircraft-and-flight handoff. It also produces structured exports for other destinations, so pilots can choose the ongoing logbook that fits their flying rather than being locked into Quicklogs.

Talk to us
Questions from pilots help shape what Quicklogs becomes next.
If you have an unusual logbook layout, a destination Quicklogs does not support yet, or a question about the conversion process, send it through the Support page. Real pages and real edge cases are how the workflow gets better.
