A free nz caa pilot logbook that runs in your browser: log flights with the particulars NZ CAA expects, watch totals and rolling recency windows update live, and export clean CSVs for examiners and employers.

About NZ CAA Pilot Logbook

NZ Civil Aviation Rules Part 61 requires logbooks with prescribed details; passenger recency is 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days, and BFRs run every 24 months. This logbook mirrors those particulars in structured fields — date, aircraft type and registration, route, time, night time, landings and role — then maintains what paper can't: live lifetime totals and the rolling windows recency rules are written around. New Zealand's terrain and weather make the operational notes column unusually valuable — many NZ pilots log strip and weather detail habitually. Records stay in your browser's local storage, export to CSV on demand, and the page works offline once loaded, which makes it a practical working copy alongside whatever official logbook format you maintain.

Frequently asked questions

Does NZ CAA accept electronic pilot logbooks?+

NZ Civil Aviation Rules Part 61 requires logbooks with prescribed details; passenger recency is 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days, and BFRs run every 24 months. As with every authority, the practical standard is producibility: you must be able to present a complete, consistent record on request, with endorsements and signatures where required living in the official document. Use this tool as the always-computed working layer and keep your formal logbook authoritative.

What passenger recency applies under NZ CAA?+

New Zealand's terrain and weather make the operational notes column unusually valuable — many NZ pilots log strip and weather detail habitually. The rolling-window tiles in this log exist for exactly that arithmetic — they recompute at every page load, so the recency question is answered before you promise seats to anyone. For night carriage and instrument privileges, additional windows apply per the rules referenced above.

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.

Can I export my records for an audit or examiner?+

Yes — one click exports your complete flight record as a CSV file that opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. The export preserves every column exactly as entered, so you can print it, attach it to an application, or hand it to an examiner, inspector or insurance underwriter as a supporting summary alongside your official records.

Can I move my data into commercial logbook software later?+

Yes — the CSV export uses one row per flight with labelled columns, which every major electronic logbook product can import or map. Pilots commonly run this free tracker daily and bulk-import into their long-term system monthly; nothing about the format locks you in, because lock-in is precisely what a working logbook shouldn't have.
