Dashboard

The dashboard is the headline view — the page you'll keep open in a browser tab and show people when they ask "wait, how many flights have you been on?"

Flightlog dashboard

It has two halves.

The map

Every flight you've saved is drawn as a line between two airport dots. Hover or click on a dot to see which airport it is. The map projection is the standard Mercator-style world view; long-haul routes curve the way you'd expect on a globe.

A few things worth knowing:

  • Same route, multiple times = one line. The visual won't get noisier the more you fly the same hop — but the underlying flight count will increase, so the Flights total below stays honest.
  • Airports without coordinates won't draw a line. This basically never happens in practice (the bundled airport database covers all the commercial ones) but if a flight ever fails to render on the map, it's almost certainly that the AeroDataBox response didn't include a recognised IATA/ICAO code.

Flightlog Passport

The five tiles under the map summarise your entire history:

Tile What it counts
Flights Every saved flight, including duplicates (a round-trip is two flights).
Distance Sum of all the great-circle distances, in kilometres.
Flight Time Sum of scheduled flight durations across everything you've logged.
Airports Unique airports you've passed through (departure or arrival).
Airlines Unique airlines you've flown.

These update in real time as you add or delete flights — there's no "refresh stats" button, and there doesn't need to be one.

Cancelled flights still count… mostly

A flight marked Cancelled still shows up in your log (so your history is complete), but it won't add to Flight Time. It does count toward Flights, Distance, Airports and Airlines — you booked it, you remember it, it's yours.

What's not on this page

The dashboard is deliberately read-only — there's nothing to click that takes you off it except the sidebar. If you want to add flights, head to Search & Add. To dig into your log, see My Flights.
