Bush Flying Log
Specialised flight log for bush pilots — strip name and more, with live totals and CSV export.
Off-airport work is judged strip by strip: surface, slope, length and density altitude per landing are the data that build judgement — and insurers ask about off-airport experience explicitly.

⚠️ Not for operational decisions. This is a record-keeping and planning aid only — not certified avionics, not a source of regulatory truth. Always verify against official sources (FAA/EASA/DGCA) and your operator's approved documents before flying.
Free bush flying log built for bush pilots: per-flight records of strip name, surface, length and load per landing, rolling 12-month activity, and CSV exports for operators, insurers and waiver paperwork.
About Bush Flying Log
Off-airport work is judged strip by strip: surface, slope, length and density altitude per landing are the data that build judgement — and insurers ask about off-airport experience explicitly. A generic logbook flattens this work into hours; what bush pilots actually need on file is strip name, surface, length and load per landing — 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
Why log strip details instead of just hours?+
Because bush competence is a catalogue, not a number: a hundred hours of gravel-bar landings teaches different judgement than a hundred hours into one-way mountain strips. Recording surface, usable length, slope and load per landing builds your personal strip database — what worked, at what weight, in what wind — and answers the insurance question 'describe your off-airport experience' with data instead of adjectives.
How is this different from my main logbook?+
Your master logbook stays the legal record; this is the specialty ledger where strip name 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: bush 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.
Where is my logbook data stored?+
Everything you enter is saved in your browser's local storage on your own device — nothing is uploaded to any server. That means your flight records stay completely private, work offline, and load instantly. Use the CSV export regularly to keep an off-device backup copy of your records.
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.
