app purpose: This is a logbook for pilots to track their flying. I use the GPS to enable logging in real-time, detecting the airports that you depart from or land at, to determine landings, and to determine night flight. Pilots can also record their flight path for posterity.

why background: Pilots will typically start the app at the start of their flight to start detection and/or recording, and then stop detection/recording at the end of the flight, so the duration can be up to a few hours, during which they might want to shut off the phone's screen (for power) or use other apps (e.g., navigation/weather apps). This requires background location updates.
