About QuickLogs
Paper logbooks deserve a higher standard
QuickLogs turns paper logbook pages into a reviewed digital logbook built for FAA-compliant record-keeping. Every entry must be traceable to the source, checked for accuracy, and verified before it can leave QuickLogs.
The founder story
I started building QuickLogs in January 2025.
I study software engineering at Auburn University, home to a large Part 141 flight school, so I spend a lot of time around pilots, instructors, and stacks of paper logbooks. I kept seeing the same problem: flight history lived on paper, but getting it into ForeFlight, LogTen, or another digital logbook meant hours of manual entry and another opportunity for mistakes.
QuickLogs started as a personal project for students at Auburn's flight school. Their real logbooks exposed the handwriting, layouts, corrections, and edge cases that generic document scanners miss. Building around those pages turned a useful flight school tool into a serious aviation software product.
Today, QuickLogs is used by pilots across several countries and a wide range of aviation backgrounds. We're also an official LogTen partner, giving pilots a direct path from paper records into one of aviation's leading digital logbook platforms.
Our defining value
A digital record has to be earned, not assumed.
A pilot logbook can affect certificates, ratings, currency, job applications, insurance, and legal records. That is why QuickLogs does not treat a plausible-looking transcription as a finished flight.
QuickLogs keeps the paper page beside the extracted entry, checks aviation data and required fields, surfaces uncertainty, and asks the pilot to review the result against the source. The goal is not to make a page disappear quickly. It is to produce a digital record the pilot can verify.
Verification and compliance come before speed. Accuracy is not a claim we ask pilots to take on faith. It is established entry by entry through visible evidence, automated checks, and pilot review.
The verification standard
A flight has to earn its way out of QuickLogs.
Extraction creates a draft. Review and FAA recordkeeping checks determine whether that draft can become a verified, exportable flight.
- Transcribe the page. QuickLogs reads the handwriting and table structure, then creates draft flight records without presenting them as finished.
- Put the draft beside the evidence. The original page stays visible while the pilot reviews dates, aircraft, routes, times, landings, approaches, and remarks.
- Enforce the export gate. A flight must pass the applicable 14 CFR §61.51 checks and pilot review. If it does not, it stays unverified and cannot be exported or sent to LogTen.
The promise
Your logbook should survive scrutiny.
Every digitized entry should answer three questions: What did the paper page say? What did QuickLogs change or flag? Who reviewed the final record? If those answers are not clear, the entry is not ready.
QuickLogs checks flights against the recordkeeping requirements in 14 CFR §61.51. Missing required information and unresolved rule failures block verification. A blocked flight cannot be exported, included in a direct LogTen handoff, or represented as complete.
We would rather stop a questionable flight than quietly move it into a pilot's career history. Verification and compliance are not a final quality check added after extraction. They are the product.
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
Bring us the page that does not fit the template.
If you have an unusual logbook layout, a destination QuickLogs does not support yet, or a recordkeeping case that needs a closer look, send it through the Support page. The difficult pages are often the ones that improve QuickLogs for the next pilot.
