Idea

A digital logbook and visualization tool for pilots to track flying hours, routes, and aircraft with interactive 3D globes and analytics. Solves the problem of pilots manually tracking logs and wanting to see their flying history visually.

Why this is interesting

General aviation is experiencing a slow but steady digitization push, accelerated by the FAA's ongoing push toward electronic logbooks and platforms like ForeFlight normalizing subscription software for pilots. ForeFlight is the obvious incumbent here, though it focuses on flight planning and operational tools rather than retrospective visualization and analytics, leaving a real gap. The revenue band is honest — the global pilot population is relatively small (roughly 450k certificated pilots in the US alone), most are hobbyists with limited willingness to pay, and $5–15/month subscriptions will cap you fast unless you nail retention and upsell instrument or commercial pilots who log obsessively. The most likely cause of failure is that ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, or a well-funded competitor adds a visualization tab and eliminates the differentiation overnight, since the core feature is a UI layer, not a defensible data moat.
