A logbook app made for helicopter pilots – by a helicopter pilot
Log a flight in under 30 seconds. Know every currency at a glance. Watch your hours add up toward your next licence. And bring your whole logbook with you.
2:45 offshore, two helideck stops. Most flights take under 30 seconds from rotor stop to saved.
Fast entry
Six calm screens. Under 30 seconds.
One question per page, with big fields and big buttons you can hit at the end of a long day. Heligraph fills in everything it already knows, so most flights come down to a few taps and two times.
Starts where you left off
Aircraft, departure, role and crew carry over from your last flight.
Log again
Swipe any flight to log it again with today's date. Same rotation, two taps.
UTC, the way you fly
Times are UTC by default, and a stop earlier than start rolls to the next day, shown plainly.
Currencies
Know you're current before you check in.
Heligraph works out your 90-day recency for every type you fly, straight from your logbook. Night recency and the checks your operator tracks sit alongside, each with the date it runs out.
- CurrentWith the date it runs out. Every landing you log moves it on.
- ExpiringA clear warning while there's still time to fly.
- LapsedSays what you need to fly to get it back.
Goals
See how far you are from your ATPL(H).
Pick a goal and Heligraph tracks every requirement from the flights you log. It shows what's next, names what will take longest, and tells you when you'll get there at your current pace.
- ATPL(H)Every FCL.510.H requirement, with all three routes to the PIC hours.
- Offshore commanderThe IOGP 690 experience for command, as recommended practice.
- TRI(H) and TRE(H)Experience for instructor and examiner certificates.
- Milestones2,000 hours, 500 on type, 1,000 landings.
- Your ownAny total, a target and a date. Heligraph shows the pace you need.
When a flight completes a requirement, Heligraph marks it once and gets out of the way. Set it to full, subtle or off. When it's time to apply, export an evidence sheet with each requirement and the flights that count.
Import
Bring your whole logbook. Check every number.
Moving from another logbook app or a spreadsheet? Heligraph shows you what it understood about your file before a single flight is saved, and checks your totals against it. If your file didn't record something, Heligraph leaves it blank. It never guesses.
- ExportFrom the logbook app you use today, or your spreadsheet: CSV, tab-separated or Excel.
- CheckSee what Heligraph understood: columns, date order, UTC or local, and your totals.
- ImportOne step for every flight. Undo the whole import later if you change your mind.

By a helicopter pilot
Made by a pilot who logs the same flights you do.
Heligraph is designed and built by a working helicopter pilot. It talks the way crews talk: rotor start and stop, helideck landings, PICUS, ARA approaches, hoist cycles. It covers every column EASA and UK CAA logbooks require.
Every screen is checked the way you'll use it: on a phone, at the end of a long day, with the crew bus waiting.
Set up for the flying you do
Each aircraft remembers its operation, so an AW189 offshore in the week and a club R44 at the weekend need no switching.
Offshore
Installations as places, helideck and moving-deck landings, ARA and PinS approaches first.
HEMS
Hospitals and scene sites, NVG time and landings, your current position for scene landings.
SAR and hoist
Bases, hospitals and vessels, hoist cycles, NVG and deck landings.
Utility and aerial work
Worksites, sling and HESLO cycles, and a landing counter that steps in fives.
Training
Instruction given, student name and exercise number, with circuits counted in fives.
Private and GA
Airfields and private sites, passenger recency, type rating and medical dates.
