Night VFR Operations Log
Specialised flight log for night-VFR pilots — moon illumination and more, with live totals and CSV export.
Night VFR is where conditions data matters most: moonless over-water or desert legs are effectively instrument flights, and several regulators restrict night VFR explicitly.

Free night vfr operations log built for night-VFR pilots: per-flight records of moon illumination, horizon quality and lighting conditions per flight, rolling 12-month activity, and CSV exports for operators, insurers and waiver paperwork.
About Night VFR Operations Log
Night VFR is where conditions data matters most: moonless over-water or desert legs are effectively instrument flights, and several regulators restrict night VFR explicitly. A generic logbook flattens this work into hours; what night-VFR pilots actually need on file is moon illumination, horizon quality and lighting conditions per flight — the operation-specific details that recency rules, waivers, clubs and underwriters ask about. Each entry here captures those alongside time, the tiles maintain lifetime and rolling 12-month activity (the window most specialty recency runs on), and the export produces the record an operator or FSDO can audit in one pass. The discipline costs thirty seconds per flight and pays out the first time someone official asks.

Frequently asked questions
Why record moon and horizon conditions for night flights?+
Because 'night' spans everything from a full-moon city pattern to a moonless desert leg with no visible horizon — physiologically an instrument flight. Logging illumination and horizon quality builds honest personal minimums: review a year of entries and you'll see exactly which conditions produced the uncomfortable moments, and where your night-VFR line should actually sit. Some regulators (and many insurers) treat night VFR as a distinct privilege worth its own record.
How is this different from my main logbook?+
Your master logbook stays the legal record; this is the specialty ledger where moon illumination get structured columns instead of remarks-field burial. Specialty operations are audited on specialty data — counts, configurations and conditions — and pulling those out of years of mixed entries is exactly the chore this single-purpose log eliminates.
What totals matter most in this kind of flying?+
Event counts over hours: night-VFR pilots are evaluated on documented operations — the 12-month rolling figure this tool headlines — more than on accumulated time. Insurers and operators read recency as competence in specialty work, so a current 12-month number with per-event detail behind it is the strongest record you can present.
What happens to my entries if I clear my browser?+
Clearing site data or doing a full browser reset deletes locally stored entries — that is the price of a genuinely private, server-free design. Protect yourself with the one-click CSV download before any cleanup, OS reinstall or new laptop: re-importing your history later is far easier than reconstructing it from memory.
Can I get my data out if I switch tools later?+
Always — the CSV export is a complete, lossless dump of your operations record, generated locally in one click. Import it into commercial logbook software, archive it in your records folder, or post-process it in a spreadsheet. No lock-in is a deliberate design decision: data you can't take with you isn't really yours.
