A shareable pilot profile for LinkedIn and your resume

One link that shows your hours, aircraft and career milestones, and stays current as you log. What it shows, what it never shows, and how to share it.

One of our pilots had built a flight-hours dashboard for LinkedIn: a spreadsheet feeding a chart. It was only as current as the last spreadsheet update, so the question was whether ProvenFlight could keep it current instead. Now it does.

Your public profile lives at provenflight.com/pilots/your-name. It's built from your logbook every time someone opens it, so it's current the moment you log a flight.

A public pilot profile with career totals, the aircraft flown, a career timeline, and hours by aircraft and by year
A public profile for our demo pilot, an F-16 instructor. The totals, timeline and charts come straight from the logbook.

What's on it

  • Headline totals such as total, PIC, dual received, turbine, night, instrument and cross-country. You choose the tiles and drag them into order.
  • The aircraft you've flown, in order, from your first trainer to today.
  • A career timeline with upgrades, checkrides and hour marks, plus hours by aircraft and by year.
  • If you want it: your ATP or R-ATP, a first-class medical while it's current, and your FCC permit. That section stays off until you turn it on.

How the hours are counted

By default the profile shows Career totals: military and civilian flying converted into civilian categories with your own conversion settings. PIC follows aircraft command, the way airline applications count it, and simulator time stays out. If you'd rather show your time exactly as the military recorded it, switch the profile to As flown. Either way, a “How these hours are calculated” note sits under the totals, so nobody has to guess.

What it never shows

No dates finer than a month. No airfields or routes, tail numbers, units, call signs or crew names, and nothing from your source documents. Profiles are hidden from search engines, and LinkedIn still shows a preview card when you post the link.

Sharing it

Copy the link, post it straight to LinkedIn, or download a QR code for a resume or a business card. The Sharing page shows how often the link was opened each week. We count views without recording who opened it, and your own visits don't count.

Building and previewing a profile is free. Publishing it takes Pro. And if you want a version for one recruiter, counted by that airline's rules, that's what private links are for.

Common questions

Will my ProvenFlight profile show up on Google?
No. Public profiles and private links are marked noindex, so search engines leave them out. People see the page when you share the link, and LinkedIn still shows a preview card when you post it.
What does a public profile never show?
Flight rows and any date finer than a month, airfields and routes, tail numbers and serials, units, call signs, mission symbols, crew names, DoD IDs, certificate numbers, medical exam dates, examiner names, evaluation notes and source file names.
Does the profile update on its own?
Yes. The page is built from your logbook each time someone opens it, so new flights and records appear right away. Turn the link off and the page stops opening until you turn it back on.
