You fly. You write logbooks. Hopefully accurate. But that logbook – data is more often than not handwritten, unreadable, spread across different excel-files or even worse: Not there, because a comrade took it home to calculate those mighty flight-times for the planes. In short: It can be a mess.

We’re in the year 2011. The iPad’s everywhere. The Internet is everywhere. Everything is about to be available online. Only our mighty takeoff-data is locked away. But there’s help on the horizon: A Pilot in good old Germany has created a Platform that allows us to  store that data in one place. It’s a solution called OFIS: Online Flight Information System.

Here a Preview what you can have in hands after sign-up:

It’s one of those solutions that has character and charisma: It’s not everything for everyone. It helps us with the specific requirements we as Pilots of Sailplanes or Pistons have:

• Ease of use, melted into the heart of the Application
• A personal logbook for each of us
• A logbook for the entire Airfield
• The ability to handle Reservations
• File uploads, Newsroom, Role-Based security
• “Just-use” technology: No upfront setup or configuration necessary

The System is offered as a hosted solution. You can have your very own System for your Airfield ready for use for the next weekend, and here is what it looks like in your browser:
