1. A computer-implemented method for automatically generating an entry for a flight logbook on a flight server, the method comprising:
- detecting, by a remote location-aware mobile device, an aircraft takeoff;
monitoring, by the remote location-aware mobile device, a route of flight for an aircraft;
detecting, by the remote location-aware mobile device, an aircraft landing; and
generating, by the remote location-aware mobile device, the entry for the flight logbook, based on flight information provided by the remote location-aware mobile device, the entry including an actively updated number of landings.

Abstract
Flight entries in a flight logbook maintained on a flight server are automatically generated using a remote location-aware mobile device. The remote location-aware device automatically detects aircraft takeoff and landing. The flight server posts designated flight information from the flight logbook to a plurality of social networks.

12. A computer-implemented method for automatically maintaining a flight logbook for a pilot, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a flight server via a network, flight information from at least one remote location-aware mobile device associated with the pilot, the flight information includes details of a flight that were detected as the flight progressed including an actively updated number of landings; upon completion of the flight, generating an entry for the flight logbook associated with the pilot, based on flight information provided by the remote location-aware mobile device; requesting authorization from the pilot to save the entry in the flight logbook associated with the pilot; and storing, by a flight server, an authorized entry in the flight logbook associated with the pilot. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system for automatically maintaining a flight logbook for at least one pilot, the system comprising:
-
at least one location-aware mobile device associated with at least one pilot and configured to identify and collect flight information from active flights, for each active flight the remote location-aware mobile device collects flight information including an actively updated number of landings; and a flight server, in communication over a network with the remote location-aware mobile device, configured to maintain the flight logbook associated with at least one pilot. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
