Built around how flight departments actually work
The work of a flight department is a loop. Someone schedules a trip, crew gets assigned, the flight goes out, hours and expenses get logged, maintenance ticks against tach and Hobbs, and the next trip drops onto the calendar. Sky Duty was built to be the single place that loop runs, instead of three apps and a spreadsheet.
Trips start in scheduling — a Gantt timeline you can see in day, three-day, or week view, with multi-leg trips and crew assignments visible at a glance. Once a flight closes out, the logbook captures the leg with template-driven entry and exports clean PDF or CSV when you need it. Expenses ride along: receipts get scanned with on-device OCR and attach to the trip. In the background, maintenance tracking counts down to the next inspection against the actual tach and Hobbs values, so the squawk that was logged Tuesday is in front of the right mechanic by Wednesday morning.
That's the operational picture for a Part 91 or charter operator with one to ten aircraft: scheduling, logbook, maintenance, expenses, fleet, and crew in a single iOS app. Everything stays in sync between iPhone and iPad, everything works offline, and nothing is locked behind a separate accounting product or third-party integration.

How it compares to other aviation apps
Most aviation apps focus on one slice of the workflow. Charts and planning live in EFBs like ForeFlight; career hour tracking lives in dedicated logbooks like LogTen Pro and MyFlightbook. Sky Duty is in a third category — operations — and includes a logbook as one of its capabilities rather than the whole product. Compare Sky Duty side-by-side against those tools to see where the lines are, then check pricing to see what each tail costs to run.

Related tools
Some of what's inside the app also lives on the web as standalone utilities — handy when you don't want to open a phone for a quick conversion or registration check. The free tools hub collects them. Two are live today: an E6B calculator for fuel and unit math, and a tail number lookup against the FAA registry. No account, no popup.

The Learn hub covers how the app works in practice — first-launch setup, scheduling workflows, logbook templates, and maintenance tracking. Two starter resources cover most new operators' first hour with the app: Getting started with Sky Duty walks through fleet setup and your first scheduled trip, and the Sky Duty walkthrough video covers the same ground in a guided tour if you'd rather watch than read.
