UTC LOGGER

Designed by a Pilot, for the Cockpit. UTC LOGGER is a specialized flight logging application built to eliminate manual paperwork and reduce the workload of pilots and sensor operators during aerial survey missions. Born from a passion project by Capt Thirumalai Kumaran, this app replaces traditional paper logs with a precise, digital UTC-based system. Why UTC LOGGER? In aerial mapping and remote sensing, precision is everything. Every event—from GNSS initialization to survey line starts—must be recorded in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). This app automates that process with a single tap, ensuring your data is synchronized and professional. Key Features: • Precision UTC Logging: Real-time UTC clock providing timestamps in both HH:mm:ss and total "Seconds of Day" formats for easy data processing. Survey-Specific Events: Dedicated buttons for Static Start/End (GNSS initialization), Test Lines, and standard flight phases (Chocks OFF/ON, Take Off, Landing). • Line Management: Pre-plan and track your survey lines. Mark them as flown and record flight directions (North/South/East/West) effortlessly. • Customizable Remarks: 5 programmable quick-action buttons for frequently observed features (e.g., High tension cables, Cell towers) plus a custom remark tool. • Professional PDF Reports: Generate detailed flight reports instantly. Includes custom logos, project headers, crew details, and a "Special Events Summary" with calculated durations. • Excel Data Export: Export your entire log history as a .xlsx file for seamless integration into your post-processing workflow. • Automated Reminders: Set custom intervals to prompt "System Checked" logs, ensuring constant monitoring without checking the clock. • Log History: Access, view, and re-share logs from previous flights at any time. Privacy & Security: • Local-First Storage: Your data never leaves your device. All logs are stored locally on your phone. • No Cloud Sync: No accounts, no subscriptions, and no hidden data collection. • Full Control: You decide when and where to share your PDF or Excel reports using Android’s native sharing tools. A Note from the Developer: "This app started as a tool to reduce my own workload in the cockpit. I decided to develop and share it with the aerial survey community to help fellow pilots and operators focus more on the mission and less on the paperwork. Suggestions for improvements and future collaborations are always welcome." Contact: [email protected]
