Paralogger Pro is available now — download it on the App Store.

Tap + from the Stats screen. You can add gliders or sites as you enter flights, or start by adding them under More → Gear.

Always. IGC import is an extra, not a requirement — plenty of flights never get a track, and they log exactly as they always did.

Yes. Say “Hey Siri, Log a Flight” and the Add Flight sheet opens, ready to fill in.

New flights start from whatever you flew last. Add Flight opens on the glider and the site from your most recent flight, so a weekend on the same wing at the same hill means you only set a duration and tap Save.

Making a glider or site the default overrides that. Turn on Use as default in the glider or site editor and new flights start there instead, whatever you flew last. If you are currently starting from your last flight you will be asked to confirm, because it changes how every new flight begins.

It's one or the other, never both, and the lists show which is in force: a Last Used pill on the row you last flew, or a Default pill on the one you starred. Gliders and sites are set separately — you can start from your default wing and your last site, which suits a pilot with one glider and a lot of hills.

To go back, turn Use as default off again, or change it in More → Settings → Flight Entry. Your starred glider and site are remembered either way, so switching back and forth doesn't lose them.

Your default is also the fallback. Before you've logged anything, or when the last flight was on a wing you've since sold or at a site you've archived, new flights start from your default instead.

It stops it appearing in the Add Flight pickers. It still shows in Stats if there are flights attached to it.

Three ways, whichever suits you: share the file to Paralogger Pro from Mail or Files, pick it from within the app, or send the track log straight from FlySkyHy. The file opens in an Add Flight screen — check the site and glider are right, then tap Save.

Date, takeoff time, duration and distances are all read from the file.

Go to Flights, find the flight in the list and tap it to open its detail screen, then tap Attach IGC file. The track is read in and the flight keeps everything you already entered.

Track distance, straight line and free / FAI distance, the number of left and right 360s, best glide in both distance and ratio, time and percentage spent circling, max altitude, altitude gain, max climb and max speed.

Each site has a location and a match radius, set under More → Sites. An imported IGC file lands on the site its takeoff was inside, and logging a flight by hand fills the site in from where you are standing.

Where you are wins. If you are stood at a site with a location saved, Add Flight picks that one whether you start from your last flight or from a default site.

If a site has no location it simply won't be matched — you pick it yourself, as before.

Go to More → Sites, tap the site, then tap the Flights row. Every flight there with an IGC file is drawn on the map together, so the lines you fly most build up into a heat map of the site.

Tap the image to go full screen, and use the share button to export it as a PDF.

Yes — flights, gliders, sites, ground handling, manoeuvres, skills and notes. In Paralogger, open More → Settings → Move to Paralogger Pro and send the file across, then open it here with More → Data → Import from Paralogger. Nothing in the old app is changed, so keep it until you're happy with the move.

Afterwards, give each site a location — Paralogger never recorded coordinates, so imported sites arrive without one.

No. Duplicate flights are skipped and existing data is kept.

Yes. More → Data → Delete Data clears your flights, or everything, and you can then run the import again from the top.

A full backup is written to this iPhone before anything is deleted, so nothing is lost if you change your mind.

It's there to tidy up an import. Flights brought in from an old logbook arrive without the detail Paralogger Pro keeps — they come in as solo and untyped, because the old app had no such fields. Rather than opening hundreds of flights one by one, Bulk Edit by Glider (under More → Data) lets you pick a glider and set those details on all of its flights at once.

The catch is that gliders rarely do just one job. If you fly both soaring and thermal flights on the same wing, set whichever is the most common in bulk, then go back and edit the handful that were the other. Tandems are the same — if a wing has been used both commercially and recreationally, set the majority here and change the exceptions individually.

Yes — More → Data → Bulk Edit by Site does the same job keyed on where you flew rather than what you flew. It's usually the better tool if you have one wing, or if a wing goes to several places: pick a site and every flight logged there takes the flight type you choose.

The two work together, and either can be run after the other — whichever you run last is what those flights end up saying.

Yes. Every flight is logged as solo or tandem, and tandems split into commercial and recreational. Your stats and PDF reports break the totals down the same way.

Attach a task to a glider or piece of equipment, give it a due date, and choose whether it repeats. The app notifies you when it comes due — a reserve repack, a porosity test or a line trim check. Completed work stays on the record, with photos and documents attached.

You don't have to. It's optional, and is only used on the Stats screen to work out cost per flight and per hour. If you want your harness, reserve or anything else included, total it all up and enter that amount as the purchase price.

On your device and in your own iCloud account, which is what keeps your devices in step. None of it comes to me — see the privacy policy.

No, and it's worth knowing the difference. Sync keeps your devices matching, which does nothing for a logbook that has been deleted.

Use More → Data → Backup & Restore to create a single .zip you can keep anywhere — with photos and IGC originals inside, a restore gives back everything exactly.

Yes — CSV export for flights, ground handling and manoeuvres, together or one at a time, plus PDF reports you can share from the app. Dates are written year-month-day so they can't be misread in another country, and distances carry both your own unit and metres.

For the lot in one go, More → Data → Backup & Restore writes a single .zip holding the whole logbook, photos and IGC originals included, that you can keep anywhere. CSV and PDF are for reading your flights somewhere else; the .zip is the copy that can be put back.
