Glider Pilot Logbook
Dedicated glider flight log — totals, 90-day recency and landing counts computed live, private in your browser.

About Glider Pilot Logbook
A mixed logbook hides the numbers that matter to glider pilots. Glider logs revolve around launches rather than hours: badge claims, ratings and most club rules count launches and flight duration per launch type. Here every entry is class-specific, so totals, landings and the 90-day recency window reflect only this kind of flying — and details like launch method (aerotow, winch, self-launch) and release altitude live in structured fields rather than the remarks column. Data stays in your browser, totals recompute on every keystroke, and the CSV export drops straight into your training or insurance file.

Frequently asked questions
Should I log launches or hours for gliders?+
Both — and this log treats the launch method (aerotow, winch, ground, self-launch) as a first-class field. Ratings, BFR equivalents and FAI badge claims often hinge on launch counts and durations rather than block hours, and clubs commonly require a minimum number of recent launches per type before solo, so the per-launch record matters as much as the hour total.
How does the 90-day recency tile work?+
It sums the time of every logged flight dated within the preceding 90 calendar days and refreshes each time you open the tool. Pair it with the landing counts in your entries and you can see at a glance whether your class-specific passenger-carrying recency is comfortably alive or about to lapse — before you promise anyone a ride.
Is this tool private — who can see my entries?+
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.
How do I back up or print these records?+
Use the Export CSV button below the table: it downloads your full glider 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.
