DGCA PPL Pilot Logbook

India's DGCA requires pilots to maintain a personal flying logbook under Rule 67 of the Aircraft Rules, 1937 and CAR Section 7; operators increasingly maintain certified electronic records, and a personal digital working copy is standard practice alongside the bound logbook. Treat this tracker as your fast working copy and decision aid: it gives instant totals and currency status, while your signed paper or certified electronic logbook remains the document of record you present at checkrides, audits and ramp checks.

Rule 67 and CAR Section 7 Series G specify the logbook columns: date, aircraft type and registration, crew capacity, departure/arrival aerodromes and times, and day/night split. Beyond the minimum, private pilots benefit from consistently logging night time, landings and role on every flight, because those are the columns that feed recency rules and flight review preparation. This tool keeps them as first-class fields rather than remarks-column afterthoughts.

Because 90 days is the heartbeat of recency: the DGCA passenger-carrying rule counts landings in that window, insurers ask about it, and proficiency genuinely decays on roughly that timescale. The tile recomputes the rolling sum on every visit, so the most operationally important number in your logbook is never stale.

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.

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 DGCA PPL flight log is never trapped here.
