As pilots we need to know what information we need, when and where to find it. FlashUp delivers the most important information to you when you're filling out your flight logs.
Highlights
To-the-second precise total flight time for each cycle
To-the-second precise accumulated air time
Cumulative air time is calculated accurately on multi-leg cycles, such as circuit flights

FAQBETA
Who is FlashUp designed for?
FlashUp is designed for General Aviation airplane pilots who have an iOS device with them when they fly (i.e. a Pilot of a fixed-wing, piston aircraft).
Is FlashUp a flight recorder?
Yes. FlashUp records your entire flight including important events like start, stop, takeoff and landing, as well as position/heading/speed data.
What makes FlashUp different?
The purpose of FlashUp is to eliminate the need for the pilot to interact with the app when they are focused on operating the airplane. The Zero-Device-Interaction principle supports safe and attentive flying from the pilot - meaning it doesn't distract you.
What information does FlashUp record?
FlashUp captures the 4 core flight events: engine start, takeoff, landing, and engine stop - with to-the-second accuracy. It also records your position, direction and speed each second. Flights with multiple lifts, such as circuit flights, calculate your accumulated air time accurately while you focus on flying.
Why do I need FlashUp?
- You need to focus on flying without distractions
- You want to log accurate flight and air times in your Aircraft Journey Log and Pilot Logbook
- It's not possible to start an airplane piston engine and use your phone at the same time
