Transport Canada Pilot Logbook

CARs 401.08 requires a personal log with time, conditions and crew capacity; Canadian recency adds the unique 5-takeoffs-and-landings-in-6-months rule plus the 24-month recurrent requirements. 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.

Canada's 401.05 recency: 5 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 6 months (same category and class) to carry passengers. 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.

By design: career and currency records are sensitive, and the simplest privacy guarantee is never transmitting them. Local-only storage means zero servers, zero breach surface and zero subscription. If you fly from several devices, keep one as the master record and move snapshots between machines with the CSV export.

A plain CSV with one row per entry and labelled column headers — the most portable format there is. Spreadsheets open it directly, every major electronic logbook can map it on import, and a printed copy is perfectly legible to a human reviewer. Nothing proprietary means your flight record is never trapped here.

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.
