Web edition · app.pilotefb.com
Pilot EFB Desk is Pilot EFB on a big screen: every Pro module with nothing capped, plus the tools a phone has no room for, from a route workbench to a NOTAM board ranked by severity. Nothing to install.
$199.99a year$19.99a month
Free for 2 days. A payment card is needed to start; cancel before the trial ends and nothing is charged. One free trial per person and per payment card. One pilot, billed through Stripe and separate from the App Store. Crew rooms and flight departments are priced separately, with a demo first.

Ops Map. A pasted route, its corridor and every field's NOTAMs on it.
Every frame on this page is a real capture of the web edition, in the light or dark appearance you pick.
Pro, then more
Every module Pilot EFB Pro unlocks on the phone runs in Desk with nothing capped. These seven exist only in the browser.
Same account, same data
Sign in with the account you use on the phone, and the duties and flights you logged there are on the desk when you sit down.
Separate subscription
Pilot EFB Pro on iOS and Pilot EFB Desk are bought separately. Neither unlocks the other, and Desk never touches your App Store billing.
Same rules
The rules are the phone's: raw text first, a source and fetch time on every panel, and "No data available" rather than a blank.
$199.99 a year or $19.99 a month.
Ops Map workbench · web only
Paste a route and the workbench draws it, then stacks weather, hazard, NOTAM, traffic and terminal layers on top, all on one time cursor. Every tab below shows the same route, KJFK RBV Q430 SAAME J6 HVQ Q68 YOCKY GROAT PASLY5 KBNA, with a different set of layers on.
Every frame on this page follows the switch.
Pasted exactly as filed. The engine resolves every fix and airway, and a 100 nm corridor keeps only the NOTAMs and advisories along the route while the rest of the chart dims.
Layers on in this capture
Zoom to the departure and the NOTAM layer stops counting and starts drawing: closed and partly closed taxiways are traced on the airport from the NOTAMs themselves, with the station card beside them.
Layers on in this capture
The Enroute hazards preset, one key away on Shift+2: SIGMET, CWA and G-AIRMET areas, PIREPs and ash or cyclone advisories along the corridor, each with its levels and source.
Layers on in this capture
The route drawn from the side, surface to FL450: terrain, winds and temperature against ISA at every level, SIGWX areas and the tropopause. Hover any point for a readout.
Layers on in this capture
Satellite, radar, winds aloft and surface pressure, all on the time cursor at the foot of the map. Scrub it to loop the radar and satellite; press Now to return to live.
Layers on in this capture
Community ADS-B traffic over ILS feathers and the FAA's runway hot spots, both US-only and labelled so. The traffic layer is for awareness at a desk, never for separation.
Layers on in this capture
Community ADS-B - incomplete and delayed. Not for traffic separation or collision avoidance.
Aircraft data: adsb.lol (ODbL)
Swap the drawn ground for satellite imagery, the Blue Marble composite or one recent day of VIIRS true colour, with every chart layer still on top.
Layers on in this capture
The pasted route at the top, the layers in groups with their switches and single-key shortcuts, and a Share tab that copies a link to exactly this view.
Layers on in this capture
Not for navigation. The Ops Map is for planning at a desk, and every layer names its source and fetch time on the map.
Inside the desk
Real captures of the web edition, signed in to a sample account based at Heathrow. Where a desk has more than one view, switch between them above the frame.
Desk 01 / 07
The Overview desk
The web Home shows what arrived while you were away, your live duty, the stations you chose and the NOTAM alerts for each, critical first.
Desk 02 / 07
Watch Desk
Write the conditions you care about, such as a runway closed at a watched field or visibility below your number, and the server checks them every few minutes. Every change lands in a timeline, and an acknowledgement on one device counts on all of them.
Desk 03 / 07
NOTAM board
Each station on your route gets its own card, its NOTAMs sorted critical, high, medium and low. A When lens reads the set as it stands now, in the next 24 hours or between two times you pick, and an empty list never reads as an all-clear.
Desk 04 / 07
Logbook at desk size
The logbook becomes a sortable table, and edit mode turns it into a spreadsheet. Change many rows at once, read the before-and-after preview, then commit it as one batch you can undo.
Desk 05 / 07
Duty & FTL console
The EASA and FAA engine the phone runs, with its FDP ring and limit ladders labelled with the rules behind them. Desk adds a roster board for a month of duties at a time, and a What-if that runs a planned duty beside the real one.
Desk 06 / 07
Briefing board, comparison, wall
Read the airports on your route as cards or one row each, or compare up to eight side by side. Pinned stations can go to a full-screen display on a wall monitor.
Desk 07 / 07
Flight folders and the brief
Plan a city pair or a multi-leg day and the folder pulls live weather, NOTAMs and the FDP into one briefing, sealed with a hash when you save it. On the desk it reads as a record, with a verdict and its reasons numbered.
Keyboard
Every main desk has a shortcut, the command deck searches your own records as well as airports, and the logbook grid takes the keys a spreadsheet would. Press "?" anywhere to see them all.
On Windows and Linux the same chords use Ctrl in place of the command key. The sheet in the app shows the keys for your own platform.

Everything else, too
Under the desk tools are the same modules the iOS app ships, running in the browser on a local-first database, with Cloud Sync as the link to your phone.
Briefing

Duty and records
Tools
Account
The Features page covers each module in detail. Desk runs the same ones, laid out for a desk.
Said plainly
Some things only make sense in a pocket or on a wrist, so they stay in the iOS app.
Everything else is on both. See the side-by-side for the full list.
Worth knowing
There is no update banner and nothing to install. A new build loads straight away on an untouched tab, never while you have unsaved work, and after a short notice when you are active.
Every Desk tab in a browser shares one local database, so a change in one shows in the others. A subscription can be open in a small number of browsers at once; Settings lists them under Desk sessions.
Your records, saved briefings and calculators work through a dropped connection. Fresh weather, NOTAMs and roster data, sync and the Watch Desk need one.
One thing to keep in mind. Pilot EFB Desk is a personal planning and briefing tool, not a certified Electronic Flight Bag, so confirm anything you act on against official sources. Read the disclaimers.
Pricing
Everything in Desk is in the one subscription, with no add-ons. The price is for one pilot on their own account; crew rooms and flight departments are priced separately.
Personal · one pilot, one account
Yearly
$199.99per year
Twelve months at the monthly rate would cost $239.88.
Monthly
$19.99per month
For a lower commitment. Switch to yearly whenever you like.
Free for 2 days, then $199.99 a year or $19.99 a month. A payment card is needed to start; cancel before the trial ends and nothing is charged. One free trial per person and per payment card.
Sign in or create a free account first; checkout is inside the app.
Crew rooms, operators, schools
The $199.99 plan is personal, not a corporate licence. For a flight department, a crew-room wall, a training organisation or a club, write to us and we will price it for your group.
Demos on request
For several pilots, we issue a time-boxed demo link on your own accounts. Nothing is billed, no card is taken, and nothing anyone entered is lost when it ends.
The plain terms
There is no free plan beyond the 2-day trial. The free iOS app is the no-cost way to use Pilot EFB, and it keeps your logbook viewable and exportable without any subscription.
From Settings, Subscription in Desk, which opens the Stripe billing portal. Cancelling stops the renewal; access runs to the end of the period you paid for.
CSV export is free on every edition and never gated, whether you subscribe, lapse or come back later.
The small print
For organisations
A flight school, club, charter or flight department buys a block of seats, invites its pilots and manages who holds one from a console in the browser. Each seat is a personal Pilot EFB Desk subscription, paid by the organisation. The console covers seats, roles and billing, and nothing else.
Running a flight school? See the school edition, with courses, bookings and training recordsDesk sits beside the tools your operation already runs. Your pilots keep their own accounts, their own records and their own terms.

Seats, roles and billing only. Pilot EFB does not show your organisation any pilot's records, and it does not plan, dispatch or authorise anything.
Invite pilots by email and assign or free a seat in one click. A seat reaches the pilot's account as soon as it is assigned on the web and on the phone's next launch, an invitation only takes one when it is accepted, and a freed seat is released after a 24-hour hold.
Admins run billing and settings, managers run members and seats, members hold a seat. The roster shows each person's name, email, role, seat status, join date and a crew code if you assign one, and nothing else about them.
One annual Stripe invoice for the whole block. Seat changes are requested from the Billing page and confirmed by us, and every change made through the console lands in an append-only audit log.
Seat pricing
There is no listed price per seat. Tell us how many pilots you have, we quote a block on an order form, and once it is countersigned the console takes over. Seats are billed annually on one Stripe invoice.
Or email support@pilotefb.com.
What to tell us
Personal Pilot EFB Desk subscriptions for one pilot are priced separately, above.
What this is not
We are not an ops platform; we sit beside yours.
What the pilot keeps
Shown to every pilot before they accept an invitation
If you accept, this organisation's admins and managers can see your name, email address, role, seat status, the date you joined, and a crew code if the organisation assigns one. They cannot see your logbook, duty records, flight folders, weather or NOTAM activity, settings, or any other content. Leave the organisation at any time from Settings - your account and your data stay yours.
Which edition
Two products, one account. Start with the free iOS app, and add Desk when you want the same records and briefings on a big screen.
The one you carry. Free to start, built for the crew room, the gate and the hotel.
Where it earns its place
The one you sit down at. The same records and briefings on a big screen, with a keyboard.
Where it earns its place
Where a Desk row starts with "the same", the module is the one the phone runs; what follows is what a desk adds on top of it.
Neither edition is a certified Electronic Flight Bag; both are informational and organisational tools. Prices in US dollars; see pricing for the iOS free tier and its caps.
