flights × 60 seconds = 6,000 seconds = 100 minutes\n  + Manual verification time  = 20 minutes\n  + Error corrections         = 10 minutes\n  ─────────────────────────────────────────\n  Total: ~2 hours 10 minutes/year\n  \nDigital Pilot Logbook:\n  100 flights × 25 seconds = 2,500 seconds = 42 minutes\n  + Auto-verification       = 0 minutes (automatic)\n  + Error corrections       = 0 minutes (prevented)\n  ─────────────────────────────────────────\n  Total: ~42 minutes/year\n  \n  TIME SAVED: 88 minutes/year per 100 flights\n  \nFor Student Pilots (200+ flights/year):\n  → Save ~3 hours/year\n  \nFor Flight Instructors (500+ flights/year):\n  → Save ~7.5 hours/year\n  \nFor Airline Pilots (400+ flights/year):\n  → Save ~6 hours/year\n```\n\n### Cost Comparison\n\n```\nSolution
