A dead humpback whale has been lying in the water at Løgten Bugt in Djursland
has been found at the water’s edge in Løgten Bugt
around 25 kilometers from Denmark’s second-largest city
Photos of the whale were first shared in local Facebook groups
before being reported by local media TV2 Østjylland
People from the local area have since gone to the beach to observe the whale
Humpback whales measure around five meters at birth and can grow up to 15 meters as adults
A member of the species was last seen in Danish waters in 2023
when the massive marine mammal was photographed near Aarhus Harbour
occurred a few days later near the town of Middelfart on the west coast of Funen

Understanding the importance of documentation
aviation pioneers Orville and Wilbur Wright created and kept detailed field reports of their flights to record and substantiate their progress
This was the genesis of the aviation logbooks we know today
A pilot’s logbook is an official record where flight data is stored that proves legal requirements are being met
It can contain every flight a pilot has flown
number of landings and types of instrument approaches made
Logbook information can determine aircraft condition
It reflects a history of all significant events occurring to the aircraft
and can prove compliance with airworthiness directives or manufacturers’ service bulletins
Federal aviation regulations (FARs) mandate that most pilots record every single flight they make
Pilot logbooks have come a long way from traditional hand-written
Advanced features make it easy for pilots to log and share flights
receive electronic instructor endorsements
says today’s logbooks “provide seamless and automatic entry of flight data from company sources into the pilot's personal logbook
the pilot meets the legal obligation to register his flight hours
Keeping track of flight hours with a handwritten logbook or a simple electronic logbook without such integrations is quite a task and a burden for the pilots.”
having an electronic logbook allows pilots to always have up-to-date reports on your flight experience such as seeing at a glance whether the pilot meets experience requirements for a given flight such as instrument currency or rest periods
Electronic logbooks also make tracking progress toward experience requirements necessary for a new rating easier
They can be used to fill out insurance reports or airline job applications with detailed pilot resume information
including specific data for different types of aircraft flow
Mobile applications for electronic logging for airline pilots are becoming more widespread and advanced
and there are several new directions for future development
application developer at FlyGo-Aviation in Budapest
∙ Data collection and analysis: the functions for collecting and analyzing flight data will become more advanced to allow pilots and operators to extract information from the data better
The applications will automatically collect and evaluate flight data
∙ Smartphone integration: smartphones are becoming more feature-rich
and apps are taking advantage of these features to provide users with more functionality
FlyGo apps allow pilots to connect to the aircraft via smartphones to collect and control information.∙ Artificial intelligence: apps use artificial intelligence (AI) features that allow pilots to work faster and more efficiently
applications can use AI to provide operators with suggestions to improve aircraft performance and reduce costs.∙ Cloud storage: electronic logging applications are more likely to offer cloud storage options for pilots
It is also accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.∙ Automation: electronic logging applications are increasingly automating the recording of flight data
That means applications may be able to automatically capture real-time data as an aircraft leaves the runway
pilots do not have to manually record data
which saves time and reduces the potential for errors.∙ Smart notifications: The aim is to notify pilots of problems or changes to flight data
What follows are some of the most popular electronic logbooks
and their features and updates available to pilots today
CrewLounge AERO’s PILOTLOG is a successful electronic pilot logbook
Run the app on your mobile (iOS / Android / Huawei)
PILOTLOG imports your roster from 600 airlines worldwide
and connects to 140 different crew management and electronic flight bag (EFB) systems
Boone says “CrewLounge AERO offers a complete platform where you can access various apps with a single user account
These apps work seamlessly with each other.” For CrewLounge PILOTLOG
∙ Integration of ACARS screen data capture∙ Data import from the ADS-B network∙ Data import from various EFB apps
Jeppesen Aviator (Boeing)∙ Data import from 140 different crew management systems and 600 airline companies
and Berman doesn’t know of any other free logbooks with that sort of scale
pilots can share a real-time view of their logbook with their instructors
and even on a selective basis with friends—sharing the joys of weekend flying/sightseeing
“The logbook can let you know when you are getting close to having a currency expire or a flying limit be exceeded
Shared aircraft enable maintenance and inspection updates to be communicated implicitly; if someone else flew an aircraft last week
and does a [Very High Frequency Omni-Directional Range (VOR)]
a pilot can see that and know that I don’t need to do one right away.”
In the case of a flying club—something that is built into MyFlightbook—Berman says because aircraft in the system are shared
club members can communicate with one another and can coordinate aircraft scheduling
A club administrator can get reports on member flights in club aircraft to aid in billing
MyFlightbook can send flight tracks to other apps
and can receive flight tracks (and even initialize a flight) from a variety of other sources
ATP’s Flightdocs is an end-to-end aviation maintenance
and operations software solution for a fully integrated flight department
The Flightdocs suite of software products serves everyone from fixed wing to rotary aircraft
and from the single operator to large charters and regional airlines
It provides real-time visibility of data across departments
“Electronic logbooks are only useful if they can be shared in real-time and ingested into other applications to drive operational efficiency,” says J.D
senior flight operations product manager at ATP
“The best electronic logbook solutions are cloudhosted and built on open APIs that can integrate with other applications that can use the data to drive business intelligence and reduce safety risk
Along with the benefits of this connectivity come the caveats of data security
so it is always recommended that vendors considered for hosting your electronic logbooks be properly vetted to ensure proper data privacy and security
the primary consumers of logbook data are pilot tracking tools
which document crew currency and training compliance and maintenance tracking tools that track the times and cycles of the aircraft flown
An electronic logbook should be able to collect these data points and export them efficiently.”
FlyGo-Aviation’s FlyGo Pilot Logbook meets EASA and FAA requirements
The data structure is customizable to fit a user's personal needs
its intelligent auto-fill system remembers the data entered and automatically fills it in for the pilot
so it does not require an internet connection,” Virág says
“Data security was a critical consideration when designing the app
so the pilot can back up or restore flight records at any time on any iOS device using Mail or iCloud’s cloud-based service
Its intelligent search system helps you find
FlyGo Pilot Logbook allows you to convert digital flight logs into a format suitable for personal backup or printing for job interviews
You can configure it to meet FAA or EASA requirements and print just what you need
Virág said that in most cases since electronic logbooks like the FlyGo Pilot Logbook are very similar to the paper version used from the start of most pilot training
no special knowledge is required to make the switch
it was essential to build the basic look of the application as similar as possible to the paper logbook
thus helping pilots to learn how to use it,” he said
Electronic logbooks have advanced well beyond being simply a record of flight-time
Coradine Aviation Systems’ LogTen pilot logbook has a scrollable timeline to track pilot currency
“It’s the pilot’s responsibility to ensure they are always flying within regulated limits and features like LogTen’s ‘Dynamic Time Loupe’ ensure they are always flying safely
director of marketing for Coradine Aviation Systems
“From the student and instructor standpoint
updates like the ‘Smart Share’ feature on LogTen makes securing and sharing flights easy
sign it and share directly from their logbook
The flight will arrive in the student’s logbook
and LogTen will even automatically switch Dual Given to Dual Received
“Logbook data automatically updates between the two apps
the pilot’s data is always up to date when a job opportunity arises that fits their experience,” Edney says
pilots can import their flight schedules and LogTen will automatically and dynamically warn them of any upcoming currency or limit issues
This helps pilots ensure they are current and flying safely within regulated limits.”

Technology has advanced electronic logbooks well beyond being a simple…
Nick Wegner and Jasen Barnes started the company with the simple goal of making it easy for students to schedule flight training online
Together with $100 and the help of a local programmer named Jim Lenox
they began the journey that would become Flight Schedule Pro

When would we know what time it is to get up
Admittedly these are somewhat tongue in cheek
but we can't deny that having so much information available to us at the press of a thumbprint can make our lives easier in so many ways
This is particularly true in the world of aviation
There is now a whole range of apps available
from electronic manuals to weather forecasts
The weather has a massive effect on all aspects of aviation, particularly when it comes to safety. Having a thorough understanding of weather phenomena and how they affect us is a key part to being a good pilot; whether it be in a 787 Dreamliner or a Cessna 152
we are provided with a host of information
including charts of the weather forecast along our route
The problem with this is that they are a snapshot for a given time: normally 0000hrs
What happens in-between those times is very much open to interpretation
eWAS Pilot uses more accurate forecast data and puts this in a dynamic graphical format, which enables us to see what weather we can expect at any given time of the flight. This is particularly useful when it comes to thunderstorms and turbulence. Even if these are forecast in the six-hour window between paper charts
we are able to see if they will indeed impact our flight
when connected to the internet when airborne
we are able to download the very latest weather reports and forecasts
It even plots thunderstorms in near real-time
giving us valuable time to plot a new route keeping us clear of the storms
reducing delays and keeping passengers comfortable and safe
Download eWAS Pilot on iOS
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a complex aircraft
and having a good technical knowledge of all the systems is key to ensuring a safe flight
how we actually operate the aircraft changes regularly
Manufacturers and operators are always looking for ways to improve the safety of the operation and when they find a better way to carry out a certain procedure
it's no secret that the flight crew manuals provided by aircraft manufacturers aren't exactly literary masterpieces
It's said that these are written by engineers
pilots have often turned to unofficial sources to supplement their training
"Handling the Big Jets," a book on the Boeing 747
so are the "Cockpit Companion" series found in every serious 737 pilot's flight bag
My favorite app to help with my technical knowledge is the 787 Guide
It's been going for a few years now and it follows the tradition of pilot manuals written in conversational English and covers both technical systems and operational topics
The 787 Guide has served as an introduction to the 787 for numerous pilots and remains a daily resource for many of us
It is written by an experienced 787 instructor/examiner who continuously updates it with new content
Download the 787 Guide on iOSDownload the 787 Guide on Android
Pilots have a legal requirement to keep a log of all the flights they complete
I still have my first logbook from my first trial flight as a 14-year-old: a scrawled entry for a 38-minute trip in a C152 for some straight and level flying and a few turns
I was given a bigger logbook to keep track of all the flights that were to come and it serves as a lovely tactile memento of where my story began
However, as the flights started to come thick and fast when I joined my first airline
keeping up with the paper logbook became time-consuming
Carrying it around in my bag took up valuable space and by the time I got home
What I needed instead was something on my phone that would allow me to fill in my flight details with a few taps
The app makes it really easy to fill in the flight details
with the option to either enter all the details after the flight or to sync with your Mac and upload your airline-published roster
Doing the latter means that all you have to do on the day is fill in the aircraft registration and the flight times
you remember faces but not necessarily names
you then struggle to remember who they are
LogTen Pro allows you to save a photo with each entry you create for another crew member
allowing you to remember if it was indeed that Captain who talked nonstop about himself all the way to Los Angeles
LogTen Pro also allows you to project forwards to ensure that you stay current on your aircraft type
pilots must conduct a certain number of takeoffs and landings within a certain time frame
but with the lack of flights at the moment due to COVID-19
I can see how long I have before I need to fly again or go into the simulator to continue my recency
Download LogTen Pro on iOS
A pilot's life is controlled by their roster — when our days off are for annual leave
which destinations we get to fly to and who we are flying with
we will be issued with our roster around two weeks before the start of the month
as an airline's flying program changes so frequently
Keeping track of these changes is essential
Anyone who has been with an airline long enough has — without a doubt — either missed a flight or been late to report due to a change in their roster
Rosterbuster allows pilots and cabin crew to download their roster and have it displayed in an easy-to-understand format
This can also be exported to your iCal or Google calendar
you just download the latest version to the app and it will update your calendars
The beauty of this is that it allows an individual to share their roster with family and friends to allow them to know where in the world they are at any given time
Download Rosterbuster for iOSDownload Rosterbuster for Android
pilots also find this app quite useful for a whole variety of reasons
You can watch an aircraft approaching on the screen and count down to exactly when it will fly over your head
I find the app really useful to see where the aircraft I'm expecting actually is
If I'm in the terminal building waiting for a flight
a quick check of the app lets me know if it has landed yet
An aircraft still in the hold means time for another coffee
On long-haul, it's also useful to plan my day when I'm down route. Seeing the aircraft airborne and on its way means that I can plan my preflight rest according to the planned schedule
if the aircraft hasn't left or is showing arriving several hours late
I know that there will be a delay to leaving the hotel
I can adapt my sleep pattern to ensure that I'm well rested for the new departure time
The route of a flight is also useful to know
especially when flying to a new destination for the first time
There is often a number of different routes a flight can take to reach the same destination
I'll check the app to see which route the previous day's flight took
This enables me to plan ahead and anticipate areas of high terrain or remote ocean

The Weather Channel is great if you want to know if it's going to rain tomorrow, but the information we need as pilots is a little more precise. Cloud base and visibility are an important aspect of knowing if it is safe enough to make an approach to land or even to takeoff
Aeroweather gives accurate weather data for airports all around the world with data sourced from MeteoSwiss
the national weather service in Switzerland
It provides users with the latest METAR (actual weather) and also the TAF (forecast)
it also gives other useful information such as the freezing level
runway length and crosswind component for the current weather
Some airports have webcams and Aeroweather provides a direct link to these
allowing the user to see exactly how conditions are at the airport in real-time

One of the best parts of the job is the views we get out of the front, with the oversized windows on the 787 making this extra special. Heading through Africa during the day time or over northern Canada at night
we are privileged to see some pretty incredible things
as good as our charting apps are for working out where we are in aviation terms
they're not great for identifying the physical features on the ground
The World HD is an old school atlas with the convenience of being on a portable screen
the map is magnified so that you can see cities
lakes and other features you're able to identify out of the window
giving the user interesting information such as population
commerce and a brief history of the nation
The beauty of this app over other atlas apps is that you don't need an internet connection to use it — essential when up in the air
All the data is downloaded with the app giving the user more than enough information as they cross the world

Apps make our life easier in all walks of life, and this includes flying aircraft. From keeping up with technical knowledge to staying informed with the latest weather, there are a whole host of apps that help us with the job. Many airlines now give their pilots a portable EFB, or Electronic Flight Bag. In simplified terms, this is an electronic tablet on which all these apps can be loaded to.
Not only does this mean that we have a wealth of information at the touch of a button, but it also means airlines can do away with the heavy paper manuals that used to live in the flight deck. In days gone by, there could have been anything up to 30kg of manuals in the flight deck. Multiply this weight over hundreds of flights a year and the weight savings really adds up.

Text description provided by the architects. Many towns in Denmark have centrally located industrial silos; most are no longer in use, but continue to visually dominate the local skyline. This is also the case in the town of Løgten north of Aarhus, where the former silo complex has been transformed into a 'rural high-rise', with 21 high-quality residences composed as individual and unique 'stacked villas'.
They are an alternative to standard apartments or to detached suburban sprawl, and are a mix of single storey flats and maisonettes, meaning that even the lower levels fully get to enjoy the views, and that no two flats are the same.
© Julian WeyerThe actual silo contains staircases and lifts, and provides the base of a common roof terrace. Around the tower, the apartments are built up upon a steel structure in eye-catching forms which protrude out into the light and the landscape – a bit like Lego bricks.
This unusual structure with its protrusions and displacements provides all of the apartments with generous outdoor spaces, and views of Aarhus Bay and the city itself. Similarly, every apartment enjoys sunlight in the morning, mid-day and evening, whether placed to the north or south of the silo structure.
© Julian WeyerAt the foot of the silo, a new ‘village centre’ is created, with a public space surrounded by a mix-use complex with shops, supermarket and terraced housing, and a green park containing small allotments for the residents.
The nature of the silo’s ‘rural high-rise’ remains unique – since it is a conversion, no other building in the area can be built to the same height, and it will remain a free-standing landmark. It is an example of how the transformation of redundant structures can hold the potential to both give a new identity, and introduce density to suburban outskirts.
© Julian WeyerThe body of the silo is deliberately left visible on the side of the building facing the new centre
to ensure a continued legibility of the history of the site
and to acknowledge that these types of structures have an equal validity as rural historical markers as do for instance the church bell-tower or historic windmills
