Practical pilot logbook guides.
Five short guides for keeping flight data clear, moving old records and preparing an EASA-style export.

QUICK ANSWER
Keep the row useful on its own.
Date, route, aircraft, time, role and conditions should not depend on a note you need to decode years later.

FAQ
Common questions
Short answers about the page and your records.
What should an EASA pilot logbook contain?
Keep enough data to identify the flight, aircraft, route, total time, pilot function and relevant conditions such as night or IFR. Check the exact form your authority accepts.
Can a pilot logbook be electronic?
EASA guidance allows electronic records when the needed items remain available in an accepted form and the pilot can certify them.
What is the safest way to move a spreadsheet?
Keep the source file, preview mapped rows, review duplicates and compare totals before you rely on the new logbook.
Which backups should I keep?
Keep a readable PDF plus a structured CSV or JSON backup after imports, checks, renewals and major fixes.
Keep a clean record from your next flight.
Start with 50 manual flights. Import your old records without using that limit.
