Why I Built BetterPlane

After wrestling with decades of handwritten logbook pages during my Tri-Pacer's firewall forward restoration, I realized GA owners deserve better tools. Paper logbooks aren't going anywhere—they hold your aircraft's history and a huge chunk of its value. But they should be backed up, searchable, and always at your fingertips. That's why I built BetterPlane.

Protect What Matters

Your logbooks are 30–60% of your aircraft's value. Lose them to fire, flood, or a messy hangar move, and you lose more than paper—you lose resale value and decades of history. BetterPlane keeps every page safe and accessible.

Built for GA, Not Corporate Fleets

Most aviation software is built for flight schools and charter operations. GA owners needed something different—something that works with your paper logbooks, not against them. AirWrenchAI reads the handwriting so you don't have to transcribe.

It's easy to love GA airplanes. My goal is to make managing yours just as easy.
