Which digital pilot logbook should you use?

Use one that records what your rules ask for, prints it in your authority's layout and lets you take every entry with you. Off Chocks does that for FAA, EASA and CASA pilots on iPhone, iPad and the web, free for your first 50 logged hours. It also counts Transport Canada, UK CAA and GCAA currency, and those pilots print in the EASA-style layout. The table shows what LogTen Pro and ForeFlight do that Off Chocks doesn't.

What a logbook app has to get right

An examiner, a regulator or a recruiter may read your aviation logbook, and CASA asks you to keep it for 7 years after the last entry. Check that the app:

  1. records the items your rules list: 14 CFR 61.51, AMC1 FCL.050 or CASR 61.345;
  2. prints your authority's layout, with totals carried forward from page to page;
  3. counts your currency from the flights you log;
  4. exports every entry, free, in a file another app can read.

On iPhone, iPad and the web

Off Chocks runs as an app on iPhone and iPad and as a web app at app.offchocks.com in a browser on a Mac, Windows PC or Android device, all on one account and subscription. On an iPad the Logbook list sits beside the open flight. On an iPhone you can log the sector at the gate, or photograph the ACARS screen and the times fill in. Each flight saves on the device first and syncs when you are back online.

Choosing between them

Pick LogTen Pro if your airline is on its schedule import list, you want a Mac app, or an instructor signs your entries in the app. LogTen also tracks duty and rest.

Pick ForeFlight's logbook if you already pay for ForeFlight to plan and fly, and FAA reports such as the 8710 cover what you need.

Pick Off Chocks if you fly under EASA, CASA, Transport Canada, UK CAA or GCAA rules as well as the FAA's, want your logbook on Windows or Android, or want to pay less. It also reads ACARS times from a photo and estimates your cosmic radiation dose.

Moving your logbook across

Off Chocks reads LogTen Pro's tab export and the CSV from ForeFlight or any other app. You check every flight and your totals before anything saves, can undo an import for 30 days, and flights you flew before you joined don't count toward your free 50.

By authority

Common questions

Is a digital pilot logbook legal?
Yes. Part 61 needs no FAA approval for one (AC 120-78B), AMC1 FCL.050 allows an EASA logbook in electronic format, and CASA takes a printed copy with every page certified as a true copy (CASR 61.365).
Is an electronic pilot logbook the same as a digital one?
Yes. Both mean a logbook kept in software, and the FAA's AC 120-78B and EASA's AMC1 FCL.050 both say electronic.
Can I use a pilot logbook app on Android or Windows?
Off Chocks runs in any browser at app.offchocks.com, so it works on both. LogTen lists Apple devices only. ForeFlight's app runs on iPad and iPhone, and its logbook also opens on ForeFlight Web.
How much does a pilot logbook app cost?
Off Chocks is free for 50 logged hours, then A$49.99 a year or A$6.99 a month on the web, or your country's App Store price. LogTen costs US$79.99 a year for Basic and US$129.99 for Pro. ForeFlight's logbook comes with its plans, from US$130 a year.
