Electronic pilot logbooks have become ubiquitous in the last few years. We’ve been impressed that a lot of skull sweat has gone into making them easy to use as we’ll as a safe place to keep something very important to you—your history as a pilot. We looked at a representative sampling and liked what we saw.
Picking a favorite proved almost impossible—especially as the type of flying a pilot does varies widely and whether a pilot wants to share details of flights on social media also varies and some of the programs have a focus on professional versus recreational pilots or at pilots who have a desire to share their flying with others. While we lean toward the logbooks offered by ForeFlight, Garmin and Safelog, we aren’t tilting too far in any direction. We think all are satisfactory and we’re glad that many have free introductory periods so that pilots can take their time picking out what’s right for them.
