About ATP 1500-Hour Tracker
the unrestricted ATP needs 1,500 hours including 500 XC, 100 night, 75 instrument and 250 PIC (or PIC+SIC performing PIC duties). Most training delays aren't flying problems — they're bookkeeping problems discovered late: a sub-requirement everyone assumed was complete turns out short when the examiner's paperwork is being assembled. This tracker prevents that by making every flight declare which bucket it fills (the 61.159 columns: total, XC, night, instrument and the R-ATP reductions). The totals stay live, the 30-day tile shows your training tempo, and the CSV export gives your instructor the same picture you have. Students who arrive at checkride scheduling with this record complete schedule once; the alternative often reschedules twice.

Frequently asked questions
How do R-ATP reductions change the 1,500-hour target?+
Restricted ATP minimums drop the total to 1,000 hours for graduates of qualifying 4-year aviation degree programs, 1,250 for 2-year programs, and 750 for military pilots — but the sub-columns (cross-country, night, instrument) still apply, with the XC line reduced to 200 hours for R-ATP paths. Set your applicable target and this tracker shows each column's remaining gap, which is what regional-airline recruiters actually ask about on the phone.
Why do students discover missing requirements so late?+
Because school records track lessons while the regulation tracks categories of experience, and the two drift: a night flight logged without the XC tag, hood time without the instructor's name, a 'cross-country' that doesn't meet the distance definition. Tagging each flight against the regulation's own buckets at logging time — not at checkride-prep time — collapses that drift to zero.
Does this replace my official logbook for the checkride?+
No — examiners verify your endorsed paper or certified electronic logbook. This is the planning layer that makes sure the official record will SURVIVE that verification: complete buckets, no surprises. Bring both: the logbook as evidence, this export as the index that lets you answer 'show me your night cross-country' in five seconds.
What happens to my entries if I clear my browser?+
Clearing site data or doing a full browser reset deletes locally stored entries — that is the price of a genuinely private, server-free design. Protect yourself with the one-click CSV download before any cleanup, OS reinstall or new laptop: re-importing your history later is far easier than reconstructing it from memory.
What format does the export use and what reads it?+
A plain CSV with one row per entry and labelled column headers — the most portable format there is. Spreadsheets open it directly, every major electronic logbook can map it on import, and a printed copy is perfectly legible to a human reviewer. Nothing proprietary means your training progress record is never trapped here.
