Frequently Asked Questions

Where is my data stored?

All data is stored locally on your device. We don't operate servers or collect your information. Uninstalling the app removes all data.

Do I need an AI API key?

AI features (voice logging, meter scanning, pre-flight checks) require an API key from Groq (free tier available) or OpenAI. The app works without AI — you can log everything manually.

How do I back up my data?

Go to Settings and tap "Export Backup." This creates a JSON file you can save to iCloud, email to yourself, or share however you prefer.

Can I track multiple aircraft?

Yes. Add as many aircraft as you like from the Aircraft tab. Use the switcher bar at the top of any screen to switch between them.

Where do Airworthiness Directives come from?

AD data is fetched from the Federal Register API, a free public U.S. government service. Always verify applicability with your A&P mechanic.
