No, you do not need to be online to use Safelog for most everyday logbook functions.

Safelog is designed so that the core functions you use most often are available locally on your device, without requiring a continuous internet connection.

For example, while offline you can typically:

• View your logbook and schedule
• Enter and edit flights
• Create new aircraft
• View totals and graphs
• Generate certain PDF reports and printouts

This list is not exhaustive. Safelog supports many other day-to-day logbook functions locally as well.

Whether you are using Safelog on a Windows PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Android device, a complete local copy of your logbook is stored on the device. That means your essential logbook data remains available even when an internet connection is unavailable, unreliable, or expensive.

This can be particularly useful when traveling. You can take your Safelog device on a multi-day trip, continue logging flights normally while offline, and synchronize your changes when you regain a suitable internet connection.

Subject, of course, to applicable laws, company procedures, and operational restrictions, Safelog can also be used in environments where internet connectivity is limited or unavailable.

An internet connection is not required for routine flight logging, but some less frequently used Safelog functions do require one.

Depending on the platform and feature involved, internet access may be required for functions such as:

• Synchronizing your logbook with the Safelog cloud servers
• Running certain currency or recency reports
• Generating certain reports or printouts
• Changing cloud-based configuration or setup options
• Accessing functions that require current centralized data

These functions are handled online where doing so helps maintain consistency and accuracy across all of the Safelog devices connected to your account.

In our apps, features that require cloud or internet access are generally identified using purple, making it easier to distinguish connected functions from those that can be used completely offline.

Safelog is designed to give you the benefits of both local software and cloud synchronization.

• Your entire logbook resides locally on each synchronized Safelog device.
• You can also access your logbook through the Safelog cloud, including through SafelogWeb.com using a compatible web browser.
• Cloud synchronization provides additional redundancy, availability, and long-term flexibility.
• Once you have an active Safelog account, you can use Safelog on all supported platforms without paying separate platform fees.
• When you get a new device, bringing your Safelog logbook onto it is straightforward. Install the appropriate Safelog app, sign in with your username and password, synchronize, and your logbook data will populate onto the new device.

One Safelog subscription gives you access across our supported platforms. There is no additional charge simply because you want to use Safelog on another supported device.

This is an important distinction between Safelog and some electronic logbook systems. Some mobile eLogbook apps function primarily as lightweight windows into a web-based service and offer relatively little functionality without an internet connection.

Safelog's individual platform apps are robust, feature-rich logbook applications in their own right. They are designed to let you work with your logbook locally while still giving you the security, convenience, and redundancy of cloud synchronization whenever you choose to connect.

In short, Safelog gives you the flexibility to work offline when you need to, synchronize when it makes sense, and keep your complete pilot logbook available across the devices you choose to use.
