How it works
From paper logbook to searchable records in three steps
No scanner, no typing, no spreadsheet. If you can take a photo, you can digitize your logbooks.
-
1
Photograph the pages
Use your phone. Lay each page flat in good light and upload as many as you like. You can add pages to a logbook later, as the aircraft keeps flying.
-
2
HangarIQ reads every entry
Google's Gemini AI reads handwritten and typed entries, stickers and stamps, and pulls out the date, the work performed and who signed it off.

Search, download, ask
Browse the entries in one table, download the whole logbook as a PDF, or ask a question in plain English and get the answer from your own records.

Ask about the history
"When was the ELT battery last replaced?" Ask in plain English and get an answer drawn from the entries in your logbook.
Reads real-world handwriting
Cursive, block capitals, carbon copies, stamped sign-offs and stickers. Built for logbooks the way mechanics actually write them.

FAQ
Aircraft logbook digitization questions
What does it mean to digitize an aircraft logbook?
Digitizing a logbook turns the paper pages into records you can search. HangarIQ reads each maintenance entry from your photos and stores the date, the work performed and who performed or signed off the work, so you can search the history, download it as a PDF and ask questions about it.
Can HangarIQ read handwritten logbook entries?
Yes. HangarIQ uses Google's Gemini AI to read handwritten and typed entries, stickers and stamps from page photos. Faded or very messy handwriting can be misread, so check important entries against the original page; you can correct any entry right in the table.
Which logbooks can I digitize?
Any aircraft maintenance logbook: airframe, engine, propeller, avionics or component logbooks, from any era. Upload each logbook separately so its entries stay together.
Do I need a scanner?
No. Photos from a phone are enough. Lay the page flat in good light and fill the frame with it. You can upload many pages at once and add more pages to a logbook later.
How much does it cost to digitize a logbook?
$2 per logbook, plus the AI cost of reading the pages and answering your questions, passed through at Google's price with no markup. Adding pages to an existing logbook has no upload fee. Usage is billed once a month to the card on file, and there is no subscription.
Does a digital copy replace my paper logbooks?
No. Keep the original logbooks: they are the aircraft's official maintenance records. HangarIQ gives you a searchable working copy and a backup of what the pages say.
Can I trust the answers to my questions?
Answers come only from the entries HangarIQ read from your pages, so they are a fast way to find things, not a records review. Confirm anything that matters, such as airworthiness directive compliance, against the logbook itself and with your mechanic or IA.
Is my logbook data private?
Your logbooks are visible only to your account. Page photos are sent to Google's Vertex AI to be read. You sign in with Google, and HangarIQ only uses your Google name, email and photo.
