Buying
Is there really no subscription?
Yes. You pay once and the logbook is yours. It does not depend on our servers, so it keeps working even if you never visit this store again.
Which logbook should I buy?
Choose the one for the authority that issued your licence, for example FAA for the United States or EASA for Europe. If you hold licences from more than one authority, pick the one you log against most often, or contact us.
How do I receive it?
It is a digital download. The link appears right after checkout and in your confirmation email. Nothing is shipped.
Can I get a refund?
If the logbook does not work on your device and we cannot fix it, we will refund you within 14 days of purchase. See our refund policy.
Using the logbook
What devices does it work on?
Any modern browser: Safari, Chrome, Edge or Firefox on Mac, Windows, Linux and iPad. It also works on phones, though a bigger screen is more comfortable for entering flights.
Do I need the internet?
No. The logbook runs fully offline once you have downloaded it.
Where is my data stored?
Inside the logbook file on your own device. When you press Save file, your entries are written into a new copy of the file. We never see or store your flights.
What happens if I lose the file?
Your flights live only in your saved copy, so back it up like any important document. Keep copies in a cloud drive and export a CSV or JSON backup from time to time.
Can I import my existing logbook?
You can restore entries from a JSON backup made by the logbook. To move from a spreadsheet or another app, see our guide on moving from a spreadsheet, or contact us and we will help.
Does it track currency?
Yes. The Currency page shows recent take-offs and landings, night currency and rolling experience over 28 days and 12 months. The built-in recency rules follow EASA FCL.060. Always check the result against your own authority's current rules.
Rules and acceptance
Will my authority accept a digital logbook?
Many authorities accept electronic logbooks as long as they contain the required information and you can produce them when asked. Rules differ by country and change over time, so check your authority's current guidance before relying on a digital logbook as your only record. Printing signed pages is a sensible extra safeguard.
Is X Test Pilot affiliated with any aviation authority?
No. X Test Pilot is independent and is not endorsed by the FAA, EASA, Transport Canada, CASA or any other authority. The authority names describe which pilots each logbook is for.
