Aviation is an industry where precision, safety, and professionalism define every detail. Pilots live in a world of checklists, regulations, and constant training — yet many of the tools they use for record-keeping and flight preparation have not kept up with the digital age.
That is exactly why Wilco was created. Unlike generic apps built by outsiders, Wilco was designed from the very beginning by pilots, for pilots. It is more than just a logbook — it is a complete ecosystem built around the daily needs of professional aviators.
Understanding the pilot’s perspective
When you are a pilot, you do not have time for clunky software, manual data entry, or tools that don’t reflect real-world operations. You need solutions that:
Save time during pre-flight preparation.
Reduce errors in logbook and duty time tracking.
Integrate with existing airline systems and rosters.
Work reliably offline and online.
Present information clearly, in a professional format that satisfies both examiners and employers.
Wilco exists because its creators understood these pain points first-hand. Every feature is shaped by real cockpit experience.
Built around real daily tasks
Pilots juggle far more than just flight time. They deal with:
Flight and duty time limits (FTL) that must be tracked precisely to stay compliant.
METARs, TAFs, and NOTAMs that change rapidly and must be reviewed before every departure.
Rosters that shift month to month, often requiring hours of manual logging.
Recency and currency requirements, from instrument approaches to type ratings and OPC checks.
Unexpected operational details like cold temperature corrections, holdover times, and delay codes.
Wilco brings all of these into a single, professional platform — one that understands the workflow of a pilot and reduces the burden of paperwork.
More than compliance: a tool for professionals
Yes, Wilco helps you stay compliant with EASA FCL.050 and the latest FAA guidance. But compliance is only the baseline. The real philosophy behind Wilco is to give pilots back their time and mental bandwidth.
Instead of flipping through holdover time tables, Wilco calculates it automatically and shows it with a progress bar.
Instead of opening multiple sites for weather and NOTAMs, Wilco generates a clean briefing PDF in seconds.
Instead of worrying about logbook formatting, Wilco exports a professional PDF or CSV that meets regulatory standards.
Instead of manually tracking flight duty limits, Wilco monitors them continuously and warns you in advance.
This is not just about digital convenience. It is about allowing pilots to focus on flying safely while Wilco takes care of the administration in the background.
Designed for trust
Pilots are trained to trust systems only when they are proven reliable. That is why Wilco was built with:
Robust security — data encrypted with AES-256 and transmitted with TLS.
Offline capability — flight entries, METARs, TAFs, and NOTAMs remain accessible without internet.
Audit-ready output — logbooks and reports formatted for authorities and airlines.
Every detail is built around the pilot’s need for accuracy, durability, and professionalism.
Why “by pilots, for pilots” matters
Aviation is a unique world. Tools designed from the outside rarely capture the realities of crew life — the fatigue limits, the endless paperwork, the tiny details that actually matter in practice.
Wilco was born because pilots themselves wanted a better way. That is why its features feel natural, why its workflow saves time, and why its output meets real-world needs.
When we say Wilco is designed by pilots, for pilots, it is not a slogan. It is the reason Wilco exists.
Conclusion
Pilots deserve tools that match the standards of their profession: precise, reliable, efficient, and professional. Wilco is more than a logbook app — it is a pilot’s digital co-pilot for records, compliance, and preparation.
Built by aviators who understand the challenges, Wilco reflects the philosophy that the best tools are the ones created by those who use them every day.
For pilots, by pilots — that is what makes Wilco different.
