Your aircraft records,
backed up and at your fingertips
A digital companion for your logbooks. Track flights, maintenance, and AD compliance. Run pre-flight checklists, get real-time weather briefings, manage your flight school or club fleet with dispatch and billing, and gain instant insights — accessible from the cockpit, hangar, or mechanic's shop.
Track, back up, and gain insights
From pre-flight checklists and weather briefings to annual inspections and FAA AD tracking, SquawkFree gives GA owners, flight schools, and clubs a secure digital backup with shared access, dispatch and billing, CFI scheduling, and analytics.
Dashboard
Get a bird's-eye view of your fleet with upcoming maintenance, recent flights, and compliance status at a glance.
Aircraft Profiles
Store tail number, make, model, serial numbers, and running totals for every aircraft in your hangar or club fleet.
Flight Logging
Log tach, hobbs, routes, fuel, and squawks — or let SquawkFree auto-populate flights from ADS-B data. Aircraft totals update automatically.
Maintenance Records
Track annuals, 100-hour inspections, oil changes, parts replaced, and mechanic sign-offs in one place.
AD Compliance
Search the FAA's AD database directly, import applicable directives, and track recurring and one-time compliance with automatic status alerts.
Squawk Tracking
Log in-flight discrepancies and track them from discovery through resolution with full history.
Pre-flight Checklists
Create custom checklists or use built-in templates. Step through each item, record pass/fail status, and keep a permanent inspection history.
Weather Briefing
Real-time METARs, TAFs, PIREPs, SIGMETs, AIRMETs, and winds aloft for your airports — a complete pre-flight weather brief in one view.
Document Storage
Back up 8710s, logbook pages, STCs, and invoices in the cloud. Always have a secure copy when you need it.
Shared Access
Invite co-owners, instructors, and club members to your aircraft with granular per-tab permissions. Everyone stays on the same page.
Scheduling
Book aircraft in 15-minute intervals with a visual calendar. See who has the plane reserved at a glance and avoid conflicts.
Analytics
Visualize flight hours, fuel burn trends, and maintenance costs. Spot patterns and make smarter ownership decisions.
Get started in minutes
Three simple steps to start backing up your aircraft records.
Create an Account
Sign up in seconds. No credit card required — every account starts with a free 2-month trial.
Add Your Aircraft
Enter your tail number, make, model, and current tach/hobbs times to create a digital backup of your logbook.
Start Tracking
Log flights, record maintenance, track ADs, invite members, and schedule your aircraft — all from your phone or desktop.
Real-time weather briefing
Get a complete pre-flight weather brief without juggling multiple websites. SquawkFree pulls live data from the Aviation Weather Center and FAA NOTAM system, organized by airport and displayed in a single scrollable view your entire team can access.
Admins configure a home airport and additional monitored fields. Every member of your organization instantly sees the same briefing — METARs, TAFs, PIREPs, hazard areas, and winds aloft — with no extra setup.
METARs & TAFs
Current conditions and terminal forecasts for every airport you monitor.
PIREPs
Pilot reports within a configurable radius of your home field, plotted on a map.
SIGMETs & AIRMETs
Active hazard advisories including G-AIRMETs for icing, turbulence, IFR, and convection.
Winds & Temps Aloft
Forecast winds and temperatures at standard flight levels for flight planning.
Search the FAA Database
Query the FAA's Dynamic Regulatory System by make, model, keyword, or product type — right from your aircraft's AD tab.
One-Click Import
Found an applicable AD? Import it with one click. Mark it as one-time or recurring, log your compliance date, and set next-due intervals.
Status Alerts
Recurring ADs are automatically flagged as due-soon or overdue based on your next-due date and tach hours.
Official Documentation
Every imported AD links directly to the official FAA document so you can review the full text at any time.
FAA Airworthiness Directive search and tracking
Stop searching the FAA website separately. SquawkFree connects directly to the FAA's DRS database so you can find every AD that applies to your airframe, engine, or propeller without leaving the app.
Import the ADs that matter, record how and when you complied, and let SquawkFree monitor the calendar and tach hours for you. When a recurring AD is approaching its next-due date, you'll see it flagged on your dashboard before it becomes overdue.
Pre-flight checklists with inspection history
Paper checklists get lost, worn out, or skipped. SquawkFree gives every aircraft a digital checklist that guides you through every inspection item and keeps a permanent, timestamped record of the results.
Start from a built-in template — like the Cessna 172S checklist with 50+ items organized into sections — or build your own from scratch. Each checklist is tied to your aircraft so it's always ready when you are.
Templates & Custom Lists
Choose from built-in aircraft templates or create your own checklist with custom items grouped by section (exterior, interior, engine, etc.).
Guided Step-Through
Walk through each item one by one, marking pass or fail. Add notes to individual items when something needs attention.
Permanent Inspection History
Every completed inspection is saved with date, performer, overall result, and item-by-item detail — a verifiable record for every flight.
Dispatch from Bookings
Open a dispatch directly from a confirmed booking. Record tachometer and hobbs start/end times and log standard, advanced, or ground instruction hours.
Auto-Generated Invoices
Closing a dispatch automatically creates an itemized invoice with aircraft rental, instruction types, and CFI rates — ready for the student to review and accept.
Configurable Rates
Set per-aircraft rental rates (tach or hobbs billing), per-CFI instruction rates (standard, advanced, ground), and net payment terms from your organization settings.
Revenue Dashboard
Track revenue by day, week, or month. See breakdowns by aircraft and instruction type with charts and exportable transaction history.
Dispatch, billing, and invoicing
Turn bookings into dispatches, dispatches into invoices — with no spreadsheets, no manual math, and no separate billing tool. SquawkFree handles the full cycle from aircraft checkout to payment tracking.
Dispatchers record aircraft time and instruction hours. When the flight is done, one click closes the dispatch and generates an itemized invoice using your configured rental rates and CFI rates. Students see their invoices in-app and can accept with a single tap.
Automatic flight logging from ADS-B
Forget to log a flight? SquawkFree automatically detects your flights using ADS-B tracking data and creates pending entries with departure, destination, and flight time already filled in. Just review, add your tach and hobbs readings, and accept.
ADS-B Detection
Flights are detected automatically from your aircraft's ADS-B transponder — no extra hardware needed.
Daily Sync
An automated daily sync picks up new flights. You can also trigger a manual sync or pull up to 30 days of history.
Review & Accept
Detected flights appear as pending entries. Add tach, hobbs, fuel, and remarks — then accept to finalize the log.
Built for flight schools and clubs
Manage your entire operation from one platform. Get real-time weather briefings, dispatch aircraft, generate invoices, schedule CFIs, track member currency, and keep everyone on the same page.
Organization Management
Create your organization, assign aircraft to your fleet, and invite CFIs, dispatchers, and members by email. Each role gets appropriate access levels automatically.
Weather Briefing
Real-time METARs, TAFs, PIREPs, SIGMETs, AIRMETs, and winds aloft for your airports. Configure your home field and training area, and get a complete weather brief before every flight.
Dispatch & Billing
Dispatch aircraft from bookings, record tach and hobbs times, log instruction hours, and auto-generate itemized invoices. Track rental rates, CFI rates, and payment terms all in one place.
CFI Scheduling
CFIs set their recurring weekly availability and one-off overrides. When members book an aircraft, they can optionally select a CFI. Dual conflict detection prevents double-bookings for both aircraft and instructors.
Currency Monitoring
Every member can track their pilot certificates, medical class and expiry, flight review, and IPC dates. Admins see a dashboard with color-coded status badges so nothing lapses unnoticed.
Role-Based Access
Five roles to match your organization: Owner and Admin get full control, Dispatchers manage scheduling, CFIs manage their own schedule and flights, and Members book aircraft and log flights.
Full access to all features during trial. No credit card required.
