Your logbook and currency

Add a recorded flight and check the entry before you save it, or add entries yourself. Totals and currency follow from the logbook.

A planning aid. You are responsible for checking your own currency against current regulations.

After the flight

From the flight to the logbook

Add to Logbook opens a new entry with the times from the GPS record, the aircraft's class, the night time, and the day and night landings by the UK definition. Check each value: nothing is saved until you tap Save.

What it does

  • Add entries yourself, or add a recorded flight and check the entry before you save it.
  • The app never adds or changes an entry by itself.
  • Choose your role, and the total time goes in the PIC, dual or co-pilot (P2) column. Instructor time goes in PIC.
  • Totals for your flying.

Add to Logbook suggests each value from the recorded flight, and says where it came from. Nothing is saved until you check the entry and tap Save; the app never adds or changes an entry by itself.

Step by step: logging a flight

A new log entry made from the recorded flight. It lists the values suggested from the GPS record: the times, class SEP from the aircraft profile, the total time, one day landing by the UK definition, and cross-country time, and says to check every value because nothing is saved until you tap Save.

Step 1 of 4

Suggested values

Add to Logbook lists what it suggests, and where each value came from.

Edit Log Entry for the flight: 12 October 2026, G-TEST, an SEP aircraft, from EGBJ to EGTK, with block times from 13:07 to 13:29 UTC.

Step 2 of 4

The entry

The date, aircraft, class and route, with the block times in UTC and local time.

The entry's times, in hours and minutes: a total time of 0.22 and cross-country time of 0.22, with columns for PIC, dual, co-pilot, instrument, night, solo and multi-engine, and one day landing.

Step 3 of 4

The times

Each column in hours and minutes, and the day and night landings.

The logbook with one entry: 12 October 2026, G-TEST from EGBJ to EGTK, 0:22 hours and one take-off and landing.

Saved

Night

Night time and night landings

Worked out from the sun's position at the aircraft through the flight, under the UK definition: from 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise.

What it does

  • Night time, from the sun's position each minute along the recorded track.
  • Day and night landings, under the same definition.
  • The definition used is shown on the entry and on the flight report.
  • Calculated values, for you to check against your records.

How it works

How night time is worked out: by the sun's position along your track, under the UK definition of 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes before sunrise. The example flight is in daylight, so night time is 0:00. Times are UTC, rounded.

Currency

Recency and currency

Worked out from the logbook against UK PPL and LAPL rules, with rules of your own alongside them.

What it does

  • Your recency and currency, worked out from the logbook, against UK PPL and LAPL rules.
  • Rules of your own: what to measure, a time window, and the counts for green and amber.
  • Reminders, as notifications on your device.
  • A currency widget for your Home Screen.

How it works

13 Jun 13 Jul 12 Aug 11 Sep 12 Oct Last 90 days 12 Oct: 1 day landing Club checkout: 1 landing, below green at 3, at amber 1: due soon AN EXAMPLE RULE OF YOUR OWN: DAY LANDINGS IN THE LAST 90 DAYS
Every currency item works the same way: count the entries in a time window and compare them with thresholds. Here an example rule of your own, with green at 3 and amber at 1, counts the example logbook's one landing. The app reports what your logbook says; it never says whether you're legal to fly.

Step by step: currency

The Currency screen under UK PPL and LAPL rules: 0:22 hours in total from 1 entry, then the medical with no expiry date set, and SEP revalidation, night currency and IMC and instrument, each marked expired.

Import and export

Your logbook, in and out

Export the logbook as a PDF or a CSV file, or bring an existing logbook in from a CSV file.

What it does

  • Export the logbook as a PDF or a CSV file.
  • Import from a CSV file, which a spreadsheet can save. Match each column to a logbook field, and say whether dates are day first or month first.
  • Times can be decimal hours (1.5) or hours and minutes (1:30).
  • You see a preview of every entry and can leave any out. A backup copy of your logbook is made first, and existing entries aren't changed.
