Wingbase is the ownership system for general aviation aircraft owners — AI-powered flight logging, maintenance tracking, cost management, and partnership tools in one place. A broker-free aircraft marketplace is in development; existing members get first access at launch.

How does AI photo logging work?

After landing, take a photo of your instrument panel. Our AI reads the Hobbs, tach, or flight time values from the image and pre-fills your flight log. Review the numbers, confirm, and you're done — the whole process takes under a minute.

How does automatic flight detection work?

Register your tail number and Wingbase monitors FlightAware data automatically. When your aircraft is active, we create a draft flight entry. You confirm times on the ground — no manual entry of departure, arrival, or route required.

What does Wingbase cost?

Solo is $24/month per tail for one pilot. Partnership is $48/month per tail for 2–6 co-owners. Fleet is $96/month per tail. All plans include a 7-day free trial with no credit card required; cancel any time.

Can partnerships and flying clubs use Wingbase?

Yes — Wingbase is built for shared ownership. Partnership plans support multiple pilots per aircraft with shared reservation calendars, unified flight logs, and automatic cost splitting. There's no per-seat pricing — you pay for aircraft, not headcount.

When does the marketplace open, and how will it work?

The broker-free marketplace is in development and hasn't opened yet — join the waitlist to get first access. It will open with Cirrus aircraft first and expand from there. At launch, members will create a listing in minutes using their existing Wingbase data: verified flight logs, maintenance records, and FAA ownership data will build buyer confidence automatically. Buyers will go through pre-verification before making offers.

How will the Wingbase marketplace be different from traditional listing sites?

Traditional aircraft listing sites are effectively classifieds. When Wingbase's marketplace opens, your actual flight data and maintenance records will connect directly to your listing, so buyers see verified history rather than marketing copy. You're free to list elsewhere too — more eyes never hurt.

Will it be free to list on the marketplace?

Yes. When the marketplace opens there will be no listing fees, no commissions, and no hidden costs. We make money from aircraft management subscriptions, not from the sale.

Is Wingbase a replacement for my official pilot logbook?

No. Wingbase is designed for aircraft ownership management — tracking costs, maintenance, and operations. It's not a regulatory pilot logbook replacement. Think of it as the business side of ownership.

What aircraft types does Wingbase support?

Wingbase works with any piston, turboprop, or light jet aircraft that has a Hobbs meter or tachometer. It is not designed for heavy transport-category aircraft or commercial airline operations.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes. Wingbase has a native iOS app for logging flights, checking weather, reviewing draft flights, and managing reservations — right from the ramp. Android is planned.

Is my data secure? Do I own it?

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, backed up regularly, and private to you and the partners you invite. You own your data completely and can export everything at any time in CSV or PDF format.

What if I need to cancel?

Cancel anytime with no penalties. We provide a complete export of all your data before your account closes.

The rest — annuals, ADs, Hobbs, partners, insurance renewals, shop invoices, and the day you decide to sell — used to live across six tools, three binders, and an anxious group text. Now it lives in one cockpit. Built by pilots who were tired of tabbed spreadsheets.

STEP 01

Connect the airplane

Pair by tail number. We pull ADS-B positions, historical logbook scans, and prior sale comps. Most aircraft index in 40 seconds.

ADS-B sync≈ 40s onboardingWorks offline

STEP 02

Log from the ramp

Snap the Hobbs face with the mobile app. Vision AI reads the digits, drafts the flight, and pulls a weather briefing for your route — all before you unbuckle. Confirm with one tap. No tabbing through menus in a hot cabin.

STEP 03

Track everything that matters

Annual, 100-hour, ELT, transponder, pitot-static, ADs, SBs, and insurance — in one timeline with the countdowns you actually care about.

STEP 04

Split, reimburse, settle

Co-owners see the same ledger. Flights split by Hobbs, fuel by tail receipt, hangar by the month. Square up by ACH or Wise, monthly or per-flight.

STEP 05

Sell without a broker — soon

Every flight you log today becomes a bullet in tomorrow's listing. When the broker-free marketplace opens, buyers will see a complete, machine-readable history. Members get first access.

02 — The Before/After

The old way,
and the new way.

We tried the spreadsheets. We tried ForeFlight for logs, Skylegs for the schedule, Splitwise for the money, and Controller for the sale. Six tools, six places to forget something. Wingbase is one.

03 — Anatomy of a flight

Everything a
logbook should be.

A Wingbase flight entry isn't a row. It's a little document — with the track, the Hobbs, the crew, the fuel, the receipts, and the decision notes attached. Sellable, searchable, signable.
