What HobbsMate Can Do

A searchable catalog of capabilities — from photo logging and EASA logbook modes to ADs, registry lookup, and partnership expenses.

Flight logging

Photo drafts, manual entry, fleet sync

Photo-based flight loggingPlus

Snap Hobbs and Tach (and optional fuel receipts) before and after flying. HobbsMate drafts the flight log — you review, adjust if needed, and save. No retyping meter times.

Manual logging stays available on every plan, including free Basic.

Manual flight loggingAll plans

Enter flights by hand anytime — ferry hops, maintenance runs, or when you prefer not to use photos. Unlimited on Basic and above.

Synced flying into My LogbookAll plans

Aircraft flights can feed your personal pilot logbook as drafts or confirmed rows, so ownership logging and pilot time stay connected instead of living in two spreadsheets.

Pilot logbook

FAA, EASA, UK CAA, CASA, TCCA

Regulatory profiles (FAA, EASA, UK CAA, CASA, TCCA)All plans

In My Logbook settings, choose a regulatory profile: FAA (default), EASA, UK CAA, CASA (Australia), or Transport Canada (TCCA). HobbsMate can suggest a profile from your country — EU members plus Switzerland, Norway, and Iceland map to EASA; GB to UK CAA; AU to CASA; CA to TCCA.

Each profile adjusts columns and editor fields (for example block time and EASA flight tags), currency dashboards where shipped, and export layouts.

HobbsMate is a record-keeping tool — you remain responsible for regulatory compliance with your authority.

CSV & PDF exports by profileAll plans

Full logbook export follows your profile: FAA-style grid for FAA; Part-FCL-oriented CSV and A4 full-grid PDF for EASA and UK CAA, plus experience-summary PDFs. CASA and TCCA use the same EASA-like CSV layout today; full printable PDF grids for those profiles are still rolling out — filtered view exports are available.

See also FAQ for account cancellation and data export questions.

Currency cues & logbook health scanAll plans

Medical and recent-experience cues, plus a health scan that flags gaps and duplicates — so you catch issues before an examiner or checkride does.

Aircraft maintenance

Squawks, inspections, scanned logs

Aircraft hub, squawks & inspectionsAll plans

One aircraft screen for status, open squawks, upcoming maintenance, and recent activity — the hangar view you wish you had in a group chat.

See it in the demo

Scanned maintenance logbooksPlus

Airframe and engine volumes with page previews, extraction compare, and suggestions — centered on one aircraft instead of chasing PDFs across apps and drives. Basic includes a limited scanned-logbook teaser.

Compliance

FAA & EASA ADs, wizard, badges

FAA & EASA airworthiness directivesPlus

Track ADs against your airframe with confidence ranking. FAA and EASA feeds show authority badges so you can tell what is required versus informational for your registry. Run the guided AD wizard when configuration changes.

AD WizardPlus

Guided analysis buckets ADs into likely, possible, and unlikely — so you and your IA spend less time on PDF scavenger hunts.

Registry lookup

Bulk sync & on-demand countries

National aircraft registry coverageAll plans

When you add an aircraft, HobbsMate can pre-fill make, model, and serial from national civil registers where we have coverage.

Daily bulk sync (free machine-readable feeds): United States (FAA), Canada (Transport Canada), New Zealand, Australia (CASA), France (DGAC), Brazil (ANAC), Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.

On-demand lookup covers most other EU members plus Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and the United Kingdom, along with selected customer markets (for example Mexico, South Africa, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Belgium, and Czechia). Some countries stay on-demand only because no suitable free national export exists yet.

There is no single EU-wide registration feed — European coverage is a collection of national sources.

Ownership & expenses

Splits, settlements, analytics

Expenses, cost splits & settlementsPlusMulti-owner

Track who paid, split by ownership share or custom rules, and settle balances without spreadsheet guilt. Multi-owner adds unlimited owners and partnership workflows on one aircraft.

See it in the demo

Ownership analyticsPlus

See what the plane actually costs per hour, per month, and year-over-year — grounded in your HobbsMate data, not a generic calculator.

HobbsMate Intelligence®

AI chat, insights — not org chat

Aircraft-grounded AI chat & insightsUsage limits vary

Ask in plain language; answers use live lookups over your HobbsMate records (flights, expenses, maintenance, and more). Also powers photo auto-logging drafts, AD analysis, and comparative insights.

Basic includes lifetime trial allowances per aircraft; Plus raises caps.

Organization Chat is separate

Member-to-member messaging inside a club, school, or corporate flight department is Organization Chat — not the same as HobbsMate Intelligence® AI chat. See flying clubs for how Chat fits club operations.
