Pilot logbook · export layouts
Pilot logbook formats for aviation authorities worldwide
You keep one digital logbook. When a licence file, checkride, or operator pack needs a national layout, pick that format at export — without rewriting flights.
Log in one place. Print for the jurisdiction that asked.
Entry rules stay consistent. The PDF layout is chosen when you download, so a move between countries does not mean a second logbook.
- Step 1
Keep a single source of hours
Block, night, IFR, function, and signatures live on the flight — not in a jurisdiction-specific spreadsheet.
- Step 2
Preview the page layout
Open the export dialog and switch formats before you download. Totals are easier to check while they are still on screen.
- Step 3
Hand over a PDF they can file
Download the layout that matches the authority named on the paperwork. CSV remains available when you need a backup.

Pilotflows helps you present hours in commonly requested layouts. It is not legal advice and does not replace the applicable regulations, examiner instructions, or operator manuals.
