Complex Time Tracker

Time in an aeroplane with retractable landing gear, flaps and a controllable-pitch propeller (61.1) — FAA-defined but, since the 2018 checkride change, consumed almost entirely by insurers and employers rather than the practical test. Underwriters still write 'hours in retractable-gear aircraft' clauses, and gear-up statistics explain why; a dedicated complex ledger with aircraft type per entry answers those clauses cleanly.

Your master logbook remains the document of record; this is the computed view of one column that matters. Because since the 2018 commercial-checkride change, complex time is purely an insurance and employer metric — but they still ask, isolating it means the total is always current, always backed by entries that carry their own context, and exportable in seconds. Pilots who maintain these single-column views walk into interviews and renewals with numbers that match their logbook on first audit.

The 90-day and 12-month tiles answer the recency questions that pair with every total: underwriters ask for 'complex aircraft hours in the last 12 months' nearly as often as lifetime totals, and insurance checkout minimums and legacy job postings that still list complex hours style gates frequently include recency riders. Rolling sums recomputed at page load mean the figure you quote is correct on the day you quote it.

By design: career and currency records are sensitive, and the simplest privacy guarantee is never transmitting them. Local-only storage means zero servers, zero breach surface and zero subscription. If you fly from several devices, keep one as the master record and move snapshots between machines with the CSV export.

Yes — one click exports your complete complex aircraft 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.
