Am I legal to fly?
Clearway is an iPhone and iPad app for U.S. pilots and flight instructors. It checks your dates against 14 CFR, shows the rule behind each answer, and carries the FAR, AIM and Pilot/Controller Glossary with no signal needed.
Getting started
- Pilot profile. The first launch asks four short questions: the reference notice, your certificate and ratings, how you meet the medical rule, and your last flight review. You can skip and fill it in later under Logbook Profile.
- Legal to Fly. Each row shows the last legal day and the paragraph it comes from. Tap the magenta citation to read the rule.
- Log as you fly. Use Log landings and Log approaches after a flight, and Track an airplane's inspections for the aircraft you fly.
- Search the regs. Type a section number ( 91.155 ), an AIM paragraph ( 5-1-1 ) or plain pilot words like "night currency".
Questions pilots ask
Where does the regulation text come from?
14 CFR and 49 CFR Part 830 come from the eCFR. The AIM and the Pilot/Controller Glossary come from the FAA. The edition date appears under every section title, and new editions arrive with app updates. The eCFR is not an official legal edition of the CFR.
Is a "Legal" badge a legal opinion?
No. Clearway is a study and reference aid. Your logbook, your certificates and the regulations themselves govern every flight. Check anything that matters against the official text.
How does night passenger currency count?
For 14 CFR 61.57(b) , Clearway counts full-stop landings logged as night, in the same category and class, within the preceding 90 days. Night for this rule runs from one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise.
What does What Changed show?
Every 14 CFR section amended since Nov 1, 2024, grouped by month, plus a guide to the MOSAIC rule (effective Oct 22, 2025 and Jul 24, 2026). With Clearway Pro, any listed section opens as a word-by-word redline.
Can I use the endorsements for my students?
Clearway includes the 96 sample endorsements from AC 61-65K Appendix A. Fill the blanks, sign with a finger or Apple Pencil, and save a PDF. Read the wording against the current regulation before you sign; the endorsement is yours.
How do I add the Currency Clock widget?
Touch and hold the Home Screen or Lock Screen, tap Edit, add Clearway, then choose which item the clock counts down to.

Privacy policy
Effective November 5, 2026
Clearway does not collect personal data. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no third-party code. Your profile, logged landings and approaches, aircraft dates, pins, marks and list of issued endorsements are saved only in the app's storage on your device, and are included in your own device backups. Clearway's developer cannot see them.
Signatures you draw for an endorsement are placed in the PDF you create and are not saved by the app. A PDF or spreadsheet leaves the device only if you share it.
Purchases go through Apple. We receive no payment details. The app makes no network requests of its own; the App Store handles purchases and restores, and links you tap open in your browser.
To delete everything, use Logbook Profile → Erase my logbook profile , or delete the app. If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
