Off Chocks for EASA pilots: your FCL.050 logbook and FCL.060 recency

Pick EASA as your authority and Off Chocks prints your logbook in the AMC1 FCL.050 layout, counts FCL.060 recency for each type or class you fly, and shows your hours against the Part-FCL licence requirements. It runs on iPad, iPhone and the web, and your first 50 logged hours are free.

What FCL.050 asks your logbook to hold

FCL.050 asks for a reliable record of every flight, and AMC1 FCL.050 sets the minimum. For each flight: the PIC's name, the date, the places and UTC times of departure and arrival, type and registration, single or multi-engine, flight time and the running total, your function and any night or IFR time. An electronic logbook is acceptable.

The flight form's EASA seats are PIC, Co-Pilot, Co-Pilot (relief), PIC Under Supervision and Dual. Off Chocks has no separate SPIC seat.

A logbook print in the AMC layout

The EASA print follows the AMC1 FCL.050 column groups 1 to 12. Every page carries Total this page, Total from previous pages and Total time, and the line "I certify that the entries in this log are true." with room for your signature. Times print in UTC, and each row takes the date of its UTC departure.

PIC under supervision prints in its own P1 u/s column beside P1. The AMC puts PICUS in the PIC column, so ask your authority whether it accepts the split. Off Chocks does not collect countersignatures; sign the printed pages.

FCL.060 recency and your rating dates

The Currency page counts 3 takeoffs and 3 landings in 90 days for each type or class you fly, and the 1 night takeoff and landing in 90 days. While your instrument rating is in date, the night card shows you current through it, as FCL.060(b)(2) allows. Off Chocks does not model the 120-day CAT extension or the cruise relief rules.

Type ratings, class ratings, your IR and your medical go in Credentials with the expiry date from your licence or certificate, and your iPhone or iPad reminds you before each one runs out. Off Chocks does not count the 10 route sectors for a type rating revalidation; filter the Logbook by type and dates to count them.

Hours toward your next licence

The Licence progression card tracks the LAPL, PPL, CPL and ATPL, and Goals has templates for the night rating, the instrument rating and the MPL. For the ATPL it measures your total, multi-pilot, cross-country, instrument and night time against FCL.510.A, with simulator time capped at 100 hours and device instrument time at 30.

FCL.510.A(b)(2) gives three routes to the command hours: 500 hours as PIC under supervision, 250 hours as PIC, or 250 hours with at least 70 as PIC and the rest as PICUS. The command bar tests all three in aeroplane time and names the route you are closest to. Export, Experience Summary prints the totals an application or airline form asks for.

Bringing your logbook across

LogTen Pro Import reads LogTen's tab export. CSV files from CrewLounge, mccPILOTLOG or a spreadsheet go through the CSV import, where you match each column once. Dates default to DD/MM for EASA pilots, and you check every flight at Confirm before anything is saved.

If your early hours sit in a paper logbook, enter the totals per aircraft type as a balance forward. They count toward your totals and print on page one. They don't count toward recency, because they hold no dated flights.

What Off Chocks doesn’t do

  • Collect a countersignature from the PIC or an instructor. Print the pages and have them signed.
  • Count the 10 route sectors for a type rating revalidation.
  • Track ORO.FTL flight time limitations or rest.
  • Track the 7-year IR renewal rule or the PBN conditions.

Common questions

Is an electronic logbook accepted under EASA rules?
AMC1 FCL.050 allows one when your authority can read it, it holds every item the AMC lists, and you certify it. Off Chocks prints the AMC layout with the certification line on every page so you can sign it.
Does Off Chocks log PICUS separately from PIC?
Yes. PIC Under Supervision is its own seat, and the EASA print keeps P1 and P1 u/s in separate columns and totals.
Does it count the 90-day rule per type?
Yes. FCL.060 recency counts per type or class you fly, with a separate night card.

A plain-words summary to help you keep your own records, not legal advice. The regulation and your operator’s procedures take precedence. Switching apps? Off Chocks compared with LogTen Pro.
