Follow a pilot
A pilot you know wants to share their flying schedule with you: their trips, when they take off, when they land — as much as they chose to share. The code they sent you (it looks like 7K3Q-9MWD) is your key.
1 · Get the app
Logvector is a pilot logbook app for Android and iPhone, and following someone uses the same app.
While Logvector is in beta: the store listing is not public yet, so your pilot has to add you as a tester first. Send them the email address you use with Google Play (Android) or the App Store (iPhone), and you'll receive an install link from the store. If the install link doesn't work, that step hasn't happened yet — just ask them.
2 · Create your account
Open the app and sign in (email, Google, or Apple). When it asks "What brings you here?", choose Following someone — you get a simplified app with just the pilots you follow. No pilot questions, no logbook.
3 · Enter your code
On the Following screen, tap Enter an invite code and type the code exactly as you received it. That's it — their schedule appears.
A code works once and expires after a week. If yours is expired or already used, ask your pilot for a fresh one — it takes them ten seconds.
What you'll see
- Their trips on a calendar, and a live card for the current or next flight.
- If they allowed it: notifications when they take off, when they're at the gate, and when a flight runs late — in your local time, with their airport's time in brackets. Tap the bell on their page to pick which ones you want, or to give them a nickname.
- Only what they chose to share. If they turn on Career history, you also get redacted per-flight rows detailed enough to reconstruct dates, routes, hours and aircraft types; simulator/ATD time and opening balances are excluded.
- They can pause or stop sharing at any time, and you can stop following. That stops future access, but it cannot erase anything a recipient already downloaded, copied or screenshotted.
