📖What is it?

The Pilot Logbook Calculator analyzes your flight time breakdown — what percentage of your hours are PIC, IFR, night, and cross-country — and provides insight for certificate progress tracking.

🎯How to use

Enter your logbook totals in each category. The calculator shows the percentage breakdown of your experience and the average flight duration per landing.

💡Example scenario

150 total hours, 100 PIC hours = 66.7% PIC. 100 landings over 150 hours = 1.5 hrs/landing average. FAA Commercial minimum is 250 total hours, 100 PIC, 50 XC, 10 night.

🏆Pro tip

FAA PPL requires 40 total hours (20 dual, 10 solo). FAA CPL requires 250 total hours (100 PIC, 50 XC, 10 night, 5 night XC, 10 actual or simulated instrument). FAA ATP requires 1,500 total hours. EASA differs significantly — check EASA Part-FCL for European standards. Always log accurately; falsifying logbooks is a federal crime.
