Important: Pilot EFB is not a certified Electronic Flight Bag. It is an informational and organisational tool only. See the full disclaimer below before using.
Scope & intent
What Pilot EFB is, and isn't
Pilot EFB does a small set of things well and is deliberately clear about where its boundaries are. Here is exactly what it is, and what it is not.
What Pilot EFB is
Pilot EFB is built for airline and general-aviation pilots who want a fast, reliable, offline-first toolkit on their phone.
- Offline-first. SQLite is the source of truth on your device. The app works fully without an internet connection.
- Raw text always preserved. Decoded METAR, TAF, and NOTAM fields supplement the raw text — they never replace it.
- Snapshots are immutable. Saved weather and NOTAM briefings are SHA-256 hashed and verified on display.
- Privacy by design. No location data, no advertising identifiers. Your logbook never leaves your device unless you export it yourself.
What it is NOT
Pilot EFB is intentionally narrow. It does not replace certified tools and we do not pretend otherwise.
- NOT a certified Electronic Flight Bag (EFB).
- NOT for operational decisions, dispatch, primary navigation, or regulatory compliance.
- NOT a replacement for company OPS, official MET sources, or NOTAM authorities.
- NOT a moving map or terrain-awareness system.
- NEVER presents outputs as authoritative.
Important — please read before using
Our safety disclaimer is currently being finalised and will be published here shortly.
Features
What's in the app
Six focused modules. All work offline. All include explicit source attribution and disclaimers on every aviation data block.
