About eCOPILOT Android App

eCOPILOT (The electronic Copilot) is a simple to use yet full-featured navigation (moving map), logbook and flight track recording app for private, recreational and ultralight pilots.
It is designed for use on 4.3 inch or bigger phones and tablets (recommended minimum screen size is 4.7 inches).
eCOPILOT is geared towards the VFR "recreational" private pilot that wants an easy to use navigation app that is free of extra "over-complicated" features and that provides a "single tap" logbook to keep track of flying times.
