MyFlightbook alternative
Lighter.
Multi-regime.
A logbook that stays quick the fiftieth time you open it, tracks currency under more than one authority out of the box, and prints in your regulator’s column layout — and it reads your MyFlightbook CSV export, so trying it costs about a minute.

MyFlightbook is free and packs in an enormous feature set built up over many years — and if free-and-exhaustive is what you’re after, it’s a genuinely good answer. This is a different one: a modern, focused logbook built around three things MyFlightbook wasn’t — an interface that stays out of your way, currency and limits under whichever authority you fly (switch anytime), and an import that checks itself before it saves. Here’s where that lands.
Bring your MyFlightbook logbook over
MyFlightbook exports your flights to a CSV, and that file is exactly what the import here reads. Drop it in, the app maps your columns, and it reconciles the totals against the ones MyFlightbook shows you — total time, PIC, night, approaches — so every number is confirmed matched before a single flight is saved. If a column doesn’t line up, you catch it on day one, not three months later.
A logbook that stays out of your way
MyFlightbook can do a great many things, and the interface shows it. This one is built the other way round: the common path — log a flight, check you’re current, print what you need — is quick and uncluttered, on any device, in your language. You give up some of MyFlightbook’s breadth for that; whether it’s a fair trade depends on how much of that breadth you actually use.
Currency and export that speak your authorities
Tell it which authorities you fly and it runs each one’s rules against the same flights — passenger and IFR recency, and the rolling 28-, 90- and 365-day limits under CARs, FAR 117 or ORO.FTL — and when you need it on paper, exports a PDF in the FAA, EASA (AMC1 FCL.050) or Transport Canada column layout. One logbook that counts and prints the way each authority expects, instead of a US-first tool you bend to fit.
Where MyFlightbook still fits
Honestly: if cost is the deciding factor, MyFlightbook is free and hard to argue with, and if you lean on its sheer breadth — endorsement tracking, attachments, the long tail of things it records — it does more than this does. This isn’t here to pull you off a tool that already fits. It’s here for the pilot who wants a lighter, multi-regime logbook and would happily pay a little for it — and the CSV import means finding out costs you two minutes, either way.
Common questions
Can I import my MyFlightbook logbook?
Yes. Export your flights from MyFlightbook as a CSV and import that file here. The app maps your columns and reconciles the totals against the ones MyFlightbook shows you before anything is saved, so you can confirm your history came across cleanly first.
MyFlightbook is free — why would I pay for this?
Often you shouldn't, and that's fair. Pay for this only if a faster interface, multi-authority currency and limits, regulator-layout export, or the reconciling import are worth a few dollars to you. It's free up to 100 flights, then $4.99/month, $49/year, or $249 once for lifetime access.
Does it handle more than one authority?
Yes — that's the core of it. Record each flight once; set your authority and it tracks currency and rolling flight-time limits under CARs, FAR 117 or EASA ORO.FTL. Switch the authority anytime, and export in its column layout — one logbook, no re-entry.
Does it run on my phone?
Yes. It's web-based, so it runs in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone and iPad — nothing to install, and the same logbook on every one of them.
