The job goes past saving the photos.
Which entry supports those hours? Where is the inspection recorded? What history is missing? A shop needs answers it can trace. Cloudline Logbook is shop-grade records intelligence: the paper, structured and cited, with a Status Determination to review.
A photo preserves the page
A photo backup gives you a copy of the paper. Someone still has to read it and piece together the maintenance history.
A cited record supports the review
Atlas structures entries, parts, hours, and inspections. Every claim links to the page that supports it.
The mechanic keeps the call
The Status Determination shows what the records support and where history is missing. Your A&P reviews the evidence and makes the airworthiness determination.
A Status Determination, cited to the page
Atlas reads and structures the maintenance history. The report brings together recorded status, due items, and gaps. Follow a claim back to its source entry.
The airworthiness determination stays with your A&P. Cloudline reports what the records show. The Status Determination is not an airworthiness approval or a maintenance sign-off.
This is Cloudline Logbook. The same product for digitization, ongoing records work, and a pre-buy records review. See Logbook → See the pre-buy review →
From paper logbooks to a record your shop can use
Start with one tail. No special scanner required.
Send the logbooks
Photograph the pages or upload existing scans. PDF, JPG, PNG, HEIC, and TIFF are supported. Your first aircraft is free.
Atlas reads the paper
Every page is read. Maintenance entries, parts, hours, and inspections become a structured record, linked to the source scans.
Review the evidence
Your shop gets a cited Status Determination. Missing or unreadable history is flagged for review. Gaps stay visible.
Keep the record useful
The Living Logbook is included. Add new entries to the same aircraft record, so the next job starts with the history already organized.
One-time, per tail. First aircraft free.
Your first aircraft is free. After that, the price for digitization and the Status Determination depends on engine count and aircraft age.
Every Status Determination comes with the aircraft’s Living Logbook. Keep the structured history together and add new entries. See Living Logbook access details →
Before you send the books
How does this compare with BetterPlane or a DIY photo backup?
For a GA shop, the useful output is a cited maintenance record and a Status Determination. That is what Cloudline Logbook delivers. A photo archive preserves images; your shop still needs to read the history and trace each finding to its source. Cloudline does that records work, with one-time pricing per tail.
Is this a separate product from Logbook?
No. Aircraft logbook digitization runs on Cloudline Logbook. Atlas reads the paper and returns the same cited Status Determination. The Living Logbook is included.
What if a page is missing or hard to read?
Missing history and unreadable pages are flagged for review. The report shows the gaps. An unsupported claim is not treated as verified.
Does Cloudline determine whether the aircraft is airworthy?
No. The Status Determination reports what the records show and cites the supporting pages. Your A&P mechanic makes the airworthiness determination and retains responsibility for the sign-off.
