Every flight on the record, from its meter readings to the booking it flew.
Every flight lands on one record: its times, meter readings, crew and category, and the booking it fulfilled. You can enter a flight by hand, on a phone, or by photographing the tech log for Ralph to type up. Each aircraft's meters run as one unbroken trail, so a reading that doesn't follow the last one is caught at once. The same hours count down the aircraft's maintenance and price the flight for billing, so nothing is typed twice.
How it works
- Record the flight. Enter it on the web or a phone, or photograph the tech log for Ralph. The crew, category and booking it fulfilled are filled in for you.
- Check the meters. Each reading has to follow on from the aircraft’s last. Anything that doesn’t is flagged before it’s saved.
- The hours flow on. The flight counts down the aircraft’s next check and is priced for billing, from the same record.

Questions, answered
- How do flights get onto the record?
- Enter them on the web or a phone, or photograph the tech-log page and let Ralph type it up. Either way, each flight is tied to the booking it fulfilled.
- Which meters does RALPH track?
- The ones your aircraft have, such as Hobbs and tacho time, or a collective timer on a helicopter. Each aircraft's readings run as one trail, and a reading that doesn't follow on from the last is flagged.
- What happens when a record is wrong?
- Correct it, and RALPH keeps the original and the correction, with who made it and when. The hours for maintenance and billing follow the corrected figures.
- Where do the hours go next?
- Into the aircraft's maintenance countdowns and into billing, where the flight is priced from your rates and invoiced in your billing and accounting tools, such as Xero.
