FAA CPL 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, commercial pilots benefit from consistently logging night time, landings and role on every flight, because those are the columns that feed recency rules and the 250-hour experience table. 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.

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.

Use the Export CSV button below the table: it downloads your full FAA CPL flight log as a spreadsheet-ready file. From there you can print a clean copy, archive it with your training folder, or import it into any electronic logbook program. Exporting monthly is a good habit since the working data lives only in your browser.
