Yolog is in beta. Access is invite-only, and until full launch please keep your physical logbooks up to date as the primary record.

How it works

From compliance alert to permanent record, in one mechanic visit.

Yolog replaces the binder, the email back-and-forth, and the "did the IA actually sign that?" anxiety. Here's exactly how a logbook entry happens — from the moment your annual is due to the moment it's locked forever.

The owner's week

Five steps. Most of them automatic.

From dashboard alert to entry locked. You only touch the screen twice.

01
30 days out · Tuesday

The dashboard goes amber.

You open Yolog and your annual countdown has tipped from green to amber. The annunciator is laid out like a panel — green/amber/red, no buried menus. Nothing else changes; you just know.

Same evening · 2 minutes

Tap "Request entry."

Pick the entry type (annual is pre-suggested), add a note for the IA — "first flight will be Memorial Day weekend, please prioritize" — and pick your shop. Yolog auto-fills aircraft data, regulation cite, last tach, applicable ADs.

Your IA gets one SMS.

A signing link, scoped to this aircraft and this entry type. Opens in any browser — no app, no account. The IA writes the entry, enters their cert number, signs. Yolog validates the certificate against the FAA Airmen Registry in real time.

The moment of signing

Entry is hashed, chained, locked.

The IA's signature binds three things: the entry text, a precise timestamp, and a verified cert number. The result hashes against the prior entry's hash. From this point forward, no edits are possible — only correction entries, which themselves chain forward.

Friday afternoon · automatic

You get a notification. The dashboard goes green.

Push, email, or both — your choice. The annual countdown resets. The new entry is downloadable as PDF in proper logbook format. The buyer's verification page (if you ever sell the aircraft) updates instantly.

The mechanic's ten minutes

No account. No login. No software to learn.

Mechanics are not your customer — they're a fast-moving step in your customer's day. We designed the signing flow so an IA can finish in less time than it takes to write the entry by hand.

The moment of signing

Hashed. Chained. Permanent.

Each entry binds its content, its timestamp, and the mechanic's verified certificate into a single SHA-256 hash. That hash is mixed into the next entry's hash — break one, you break them all.

Three logbook containers

Airframe, engine, propeller — one chain each.

The FAA requires separate maintenance records for these three components. Yolog keeps them as three distinct hash chains so an engine swap or propeller overhaul never breaks airframe history.

Airframe

Annuals, 100-hr inspections, transponder/static, ELT, ADs, mods, 337s — every event tied to the hull's serial number.

Engine

SMOH and TBO countdowns. Oil changes. Cylinder compressions. AD compliance. Survives engine swaps.
