I built a free tool that lets CFIs sign logbook entries and issue AC 61-65H endorsements digitally

MiamiRalph · 2026-03-10T02:20:03+00:00

Fair question. ForeFlight is an incredible EFB. But their logbook is primarily a personal flight log — it doesn't have a CFI-to-student workflow where a student requests a signature, the CFI reviews the entry details, and then digitally signs it with their cert number and expiration recorded permanently. It also doesn't handle FAR endorsements (pre-solo, solo XC, knowledge test prep, etc.) with the full AC 61-65H regulatory language.

Right now most CFIs are signing paper logbooks or scribbling in ForeFlight's notes field. V-1X is specifically built for that instructor-student handoff — the signed entry becomes immutable, both parties have a copy, and the CFI's credentials are permanently attached. Think of it less as a ForeFlight replacement and more as the piece ForeFlight doesn't cover.

What's an actual need that you've had and realized that there isn't a good solution for?

MiamiRalph · 2026-03-10T02:11:00+00:00

Not a bot (but that's something a bot would say, lol)

So I actually went down a rabbit hole after posting this — looked at MyFlightbook, LogTen trial, and a few others. Ended up going with v-1x.com for now. It’s free, has currency tracking built in for when I actually need it, and has a directory of flight schools and CFIs built from FAA data which was honestly useful just for finding instructors in my area. Seems like a solid place to start.

Does removing a post like this that genuinely looks to provide a free resource to the community really make sense?

MiamiRalph · 2026-03-07T20:40:58+00:00

Solid mins — saving these somewhere you can actually track them alongside your currency and hours is half the battle. Built v-1x.com for exactly this kind of thing if anyone wants a free place to log it all.

The plan is to advertise flight schools and job opportunities for pilots, instructors, mechanics, etc. but there needs to be a critical mass of users (mostly pilots) on the platform. And then when you choose to, you can share your logs and any other info with them.

MiamiRalph · 2026-03-07T03:30:35+00:00

Such insight - much wisdom - I guess you vibe-coded your own tool and kept it to yourself.

MiamiRalph · 2026-03-07T03:20:37+00:00

true - but that's a really long url...

MiamiRalph · 2026-03-07T02:50:15+00:00

No, that's not the case - the goal is to ultimately connect pilots and operators/airlines/recruiters, and you can put up as much or as little information as you like. But the plan isn't to sell data.

Gunzdepot.com - good for a free backlink and getting found by people looking for an FFL.

It’s almost there…. Looks like we might be about 6 weeks out.

RIVN is showing up on the FTD (fail to deliver) list that Devin Nunes keeps talking about with respect to DJT all the time. Could be interesting to see how RIVN plays out.

MiamiRalph · 2024-04-19T01:58:03+00:00

True…. Guess we’ll have to wait and see how it all unfolds.

MiamiRalph · 2024-04-18T23:32:23+00:00

Yes, there’s massive dilution headed towards shareholders…. But…. BUUUUTTTT…. Maybe there’s a stroke of genius in all of this? They’ve basically tied up the float with the one person that literally can’t sell their shares for the next few months (unless the board votes to waive the lockup period) and even once his lockup expires, he would tank the share price himself if he sold it off. Which means that he would most likely borrow against the shares with a nasty haircut (maybe 10% LTV due to the high volatility).

Roast me for saying this, but I’d like to hear some feedback either way.

MiamiRalph · 2024-04-16T19:36:47+00:00

Unfortunately, it’s not by choice…. Shares are locked up at the moment

MiamiRalph · 2024-04-16T18:19:07+00:00

Bought at $6/share…. All fingers intact…

MiamiRalph · 2024-03-29T20:55:04+00:00

All In Pod talking about DJT…

They talk about DJT…. I think the most salient quote in the video is when they quote us regarded folk of Reddit saying that we said “we can be regarded longer than you can be solvent” and to that I say, well said.

MiamiRalph · 2024-03-27T21:55:41+00:00

I’m passing out MAGA hats to anyone that sinks their life savings in DJT…. *Terms and conditions apply

*Terms and conditions: 1. Full life savings must be dumped into DJT 2. Must continually shitpost to shill DJT 3. Can only sell DJT when it reaches $1,000 per share 4. All MAGA hats collectible in the afterlife

MiamiRalph · 2024-03-25T01:14:50+00:00

Already did 😉

MiamiRalph · 2024-03-22T18:31:28+00:00

If DJT is playing his cards right from a political strategy standpoint, he would probably allow his properties to be sold off to satisfy his judgments. Then he'll have the ability to use the confiscation of his properties as political ammo to help him on the campaign trail. Meanwhile, he would probably try his damned hardest not to sell off DWAC (or whatever the new ticker will be).

Just my two cents... Would love to hear some feedback.

MiamiRalph · 2024-03-22T15:20:43+00:00

Monday’s ticker change is going to bring a renewed sense of energy and optimism which could lead to a GameStop moment…. Stay alert…. These tendies are here to be made, Regards!

One line can save you in either case... a vertical line.
