🚧 Under construction — SimNavLog is a work in progress and not yet officially launched. Things may change or break.

Free, account, or supporter

SimNavLog is free to use, and the whole flight-planning part of it is going to stay that way. This page is here to answer the two questions that follow: what does signing up add, and what would paying ever be for?

SimNavLog is a hobby project for flight simulation only. It is built by non-pilots and must not be used for real-world flying.

No account

Free

Open the site and plan a flight. There is nothing to sign up for.

The whole pen-and-paper nav log, in the browser:

  • The full nav log — every field, every calculation, the suggested/confirmed ink
  • Map: click to add waypoints, drag them, route line, distances and courses
  • E6B: wind correction, heading, ground speed, times and fuel
  • METAR, winds aloft, magnetic variation, terrain profile, airspace and VFR charts
  • The Guide — 25 steps of VFR procedure, with the reasoning behind each cell
  • Aircraft performance profiles from the built-in library
  • Print the nav log and the flight timeline; export an MSFS 2024 .PLN file

Your draft is kept in this browser and survives a reload — on this computer, in this browser. Nothing reaches us.

Free account

Also free

Everything the free option does, and your flight plans follow you.

Sign in with email or the Microsoft account the simulator already uses:

  • Save flight plans and open them again, from any computer
  • A list of everything you have saved, to reopen or continue
  • Continue a journey — start the next leg where the last one landed
  • Your column layout remembered between flights
  • Download everything you have stored, or delete the account and all of it

Free, and staying free. This is the answer to "why sign up?": somewhere to keep your work.

Supporter

Not available yet

For when you would rather this thing stayed online.

There is nothing to buy today, and nothing here is a purchase:

  • Nothing is held back for it today — everything SimNavLog does now is free, and stays free
  • It would pay for the server, the domain, the mail and the hours
  • Features that cost real money to run are what it will open when they arrive — hosted AI, higher limits, the things a free tier cannot carry
  • A fixed amount for a set time. Never a subscription that renews behind your back
  • Expect a few euro a month, or less when bought for longer

It is listed because a ceiling stated in public is what makes "free" a decision rather than a phase.

Two promises

The single-flight nav log stays free. Planning, calculating and printing a flight is what this application is for. That is not going behind a payment, with or without an account.

Nothing that shipped free is ever moved behind payment. Something new may one day be paid for. What you can already do today, you will still be able to do.
