A pilot logbook is one of the few records you keep from your very first lesson to your last line check. It is how you prove experience for a new rating, a job application or an insurance renewal. It should be the most permanent thing in your flight bag.
Yet most digital logbooks are rented. You pay every month or every year, your entries live on someone else's server, and if you stop paying your records can become read-only or hard to get out. Over a ten-year career a modest subscription adds up to hundreds of dollars, for a record that barely changes from one month to the next.
A logbook you own
We built X Test Pilot logbooks the other way round. Each logbook is a single file. It runs in the web browser you already have, works fully offline and stores every flight inside the file itself. When you press Save file, you get an updated copy of your logbook with everything in it.
That means:
- No account. There is nothing to sign up for and no password to forget.
- No server. Your flights never leave your device. We cannot see them, and neither can anyone else.
- No lock-in. Export to CSV or JSON whenever you like.
- No expiry. The file keeps working whether or not you ever visit this store again.
Still a proper logbook
Owning your logbook should not mean going back to a spreadsheet. You get a clean overview of total, PIC, dual, IFR, night, multi-engine and simulator time, a cumulative flight-time chart, hours by aircraft and a currency page. When someone asks for paper, print tidy logbook pages with page totals and totals brought forward.
One payment, and the logbook is yours for as long as you fly. Find the logbook for your country.
