FAA ATPL Pilot Logbook

The FAA accepts electronic records: 14 CFR 61.51 requires that you document training and aeronautical experience in a 'manner acceptable to the Administrator', and AC 120-78A explicitly recognises electronic recordkeeping and signatures. 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.

14 CFR 61.51 sets out exactly what must be logged — date, total time, departure and arrival points, aircraft identification, and the conditions of flight (day, night, actual or simulated instrument). Beyond the minimum, airline-track pilots benefit from consistently logging night time, landings and role on every flight, because those are the columns that feed recency rules and airline application audits. This tool keeps them as first-class fields rather than remarks-column afterthoughts.

The tracker sums total time for every entry whose date falls within the last 90 calendar days, recomputed live each time you open the page. It's the same rolling-window concept used by FAA recent-experience rules, so a glance tells you whether your recent flying is trending up or down before a currency deadline surprises you.

No account and no connection are needed once the page has loaded — all records are kept in local storage on your device and all calculations run in your browser. The trade-off is that data does not sync between devices, so export the CSV file when you want to move or archive your records.

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 FAA ATPL flight log is never trapped here.
