Decades of paper logbooks — every type, every leg, every crew, every weather note — scanned once and turned into a searchable, mappable archive. Filter by aircraft type, by instructor, by airfield. See every route you've flown on a single map. No retyping.
Your paper logbook is a legal document, a career document, and an archive of every good and bad hour in the sky — and it lives as ink that fades. The five-year-old entries are already hard to read.
Every time someone asks about your tailwheel time, or your night hours on that type, or when you last flew into LFMN, you end up flipping pages. The information is all there. It is just not findable.
And none of it plots on a map. Your first solo. That terrifying diversion. The family holiday leg across France. Paper logbooks tell you numbers — they don't show you the shape of your flying life.
Photograph each page with your phone (or a scanner). Upload the batch. BrainCopy auto-rotates, splits two-page spreads into left and right halves, and enhances contrast for the OCR pipeline.
Claude-based OCR was built specifically for densely-written logbook grids: date columns, registration, type, PIC/dual, arrivals and departures, duration. It handles faded ink and the rushed last-leg-of-the-day scrawl. Confidence is marked per field so you know what to double-check.
If you have photos from your flights, BrainCopy matches photo dates/locations to logbook entries. A route the OCR was uncertain about can be corrected by the actual photo's GPS. The system literally checks its own work against ground-truth coordinates.
Every successfully parsed leg draws a line on the map — start, end, date, aircraft. Decades of flying become one picture. Filter by year, type, PIC/dual, or country. Your flying life as a visual.
"How many hours do I have on a C172 in the last five years?" "Every IFR leg I've flown into Italy." "All flights with Anders as instructor." Ask in natural language. Export to a spreadsheet if you need it for a rating or an insurer.
