Eight years of flying. A stint in a syndicate. A microlight of my own.
I've been flying microlights for eight years now. Early on, I flew as part of a syndicate, sharing ownership, sharing responsibility, sharing the aircraft with other pilots. That syndicate taught me something valuable: the friction between what pilots need and what committees will approve. It taught me about compliance, maintenance schedules, shared responsibility, and the constant negotiation of keeping an aircraft airworthy when multiple people have a say.
When I bought my own microlight, everything changed. I could upgrade what I wanted, fly when I wanted, and most importantly, I could control the entire picture without compromise. But it also meant I could finally see the full difference between flying as a sole owner and flying as part of something larger.
Both sides of that experience have shaped what I've built into WingLedger.
I've always liked technology. I like automation. I like seeing patterns in data that paper can't show you. So I set out to build a logbook that felt right for pilots like me: people who want their flying life captured not just accurately, but beautifully. People who want to see how they're progressing, not just count their hours. People who value insight as much as compliance.
"If you're going to log every flight for the next decade, the interface shouldn't feel like a chore."
Microlights and smaller aircraft are bringing flying within reach of a whole generation who might have thought it impossible. These pilots are younger, more comfortable with technology, and they expect their tools to be modern, intuitive, and genuinely useful. They don't want to fill in a paper logbook if there's a better way.
WingLedger is that better way.
This is built by a pilot, for pilots.
Not by committee. Not by guesswork.
