Simulated Instrument Time Tracker

Time flown solely by reference to instruments while using a view-limiting device, with a safety pilot or instructor aboard — and 61.51(g) requires the name of that safety pilot in the record. Hood entries without the name are the most common defect logbook audits find. The context field here is for exactly that: name them at logging time and the entry is bulletproof forever.

You can — everyone does, once, the night before a deadline, and that's how transposition errors enter applications. Because hood time needs a safety pilot or instructor named to be loggable — the missing name is the classic audit failure, the re-adding also involves judgement calls per entry, made hastily. This ledger moves those calls to logging time, when the flight is fresh, and reduces the deadline-night task to clicking Export.

The ones that pair with the instrument rating's 40-hour requirement and currency maintenance between IPC cycles: 'how much simulated instrument time in the last 12 months?' and 'how recent is your last qualifying flight?' Both read straight off the rolling tiles, recomputed at page load. Lifetime totals open doors; recency numbers close deals — this ledger keeps both current.

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.

Always — the CSV export is a complete, lossless dump of your simulated instrument 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.
