A free ForeFlight alternative — for everything except the cockpit
Let's be upfront: ForeFlight is an excellent EFB, and if you want in-cockpit charts and navigation on an iPad, it's worth every dollar. But for everything you do outside the cockpit — logging flights, tracking currency, planning with fuel prices, running your club — you shouldn't need a subscription. That's AviationHub: a free, browser-based companion that even imports your ForeFlight logbook export.
| Feature | AviationHub (free tier) | ForeFlight |
|---|---|---|
| Pilot logbook with time breakdowns | ||
| Automatic FAA currency tracking | ||
| Import your existing logbook (CSV) | ||
| Branded PDF logbook/statement exports | ||
| Flight planning with fuel prices | ||
| Runs in any browser — no tablet required | ||
| Free tier with unlimited logbook flights | ||
| Flying-club scheduling + hobbs billing | ||
| Mechanic marketplace for squawks | ||
| Charts / EFB / in-cockpit navigation |
Keep ForeFlight in the plane. Keep your money out of the office.
Plenty of pilots run both: ForeFlight for the flight, AviationHub for the record — importing your ForeFlight CSV export takes one upload, and your FAA currency (night landings, approaches, BFR and medical dates) is computed automatically after every entry. When your club needs scheduling and billing too, it's all in the same account.
