About Banner Tow Flight Log
Banner towing operates under a 91.311 waiver/LOA; operators must keep records supporting the certificate of waiver, and pilots build credibility on documented pickup counts. A generic logbook flattens this work into hours; what banner-tow pilots actually need on file is pickups, drops and tow configuration per flight — the operation-specific details that recency rules, waivers, clubs and underwriters ask about. Each entry here captures those alongside time, the tiles maintain lifetime and rolling 12-month activity (the window most specialty recency runs on), and the export produces the record an operator or FSDO can audit in one pass. The discipline costs thirty seconds per flight and pays out the first time someone official asks.

Frequently asked questions
What records support banner-tow operations?+
The operator's certificate of waiver under 91.311 comes with conditions — pilot qualifications, equipment and operating areas — and the FSDO can ask how they're being met. A per-flight record of pickups, drops, banner type and tow configuration demonstrates compliance and doubles as the pilot's experience evidence: tow jobs hire on documented pickups the way charter hires on turbine PIC.
How is this different from my main logbook?+
Your master logbook stays the legal record; this is the specialty ledger where pickups get structured columns instead of remarks-field burial. Specialty operations are audited on specialty data — counts, configurations and conditions — and pulling those out of years of mixed entries is exactly the chore this single-purpose log eliminates.
What totals matter most in this kind of flying?+
Event counts over hours: banner-tow pilots are evaluated on documented operations — the 12-month rolling figure this tool headlines — more than on accumulated time. Insurers and operators read recency as competence in specialty work, so a current 12-month number with per-event detail behind it is the strongest record you can present.
Is this tool private — who can see my entries?+
Only you. Entries live in your browser's local storage and never leave your device, so there is no account, no cloud sync and no one else with access. Because the data is device-local, remember to export a CSV backup before clearing browser data or switching computers.
Can I export my records for an audit or examiner?+
Yes — one click exports your complete operations record as a CSV file that opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. The export preserves every column exactly as entered, so you can print it, attach it to an application, or hand it to an examiner, inspector or insurance underwriter as a supporting summary alongside your official records.
