Transport Canada pilot logbook — free Excel & Google Sheets template
AvLog's Canadian edition is a free pilot logbook spreadsheet laid out to Transport Canada's CAR 401.08 — date, aircraft, route, day and night, cross-country, single- and multi-engine, actual and simulated instrument, and pilot-function time. Everything totals automatically, and a Currency tab checks your recency from your flights.
Works in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers & LibreOffice.
A flight log in your format
One row per flight, with the exact columns your authority uses — no reformatting your data to fit someone else's template.
Totals that do themselves
PIC, night, instrument, cross-country and more total automatically as you type, plus a breakdown of hours by aircraft type.
Currency at a glance
A Currency tab works your recency out from your logged flights and flags what's expiring, with flight-review and medical reminders.
Built for applications
An 'AvLink Profile' tab hands you the exact figures operators ask for — ready to paste into your AvLink profile.

One honest note
AvLog is a personal tracking & summary tool for planning and job applications — it is notan authority-approved logbook and doesn't, on its own, satisfy Transport Canada CARsrequirements. Keep your official logbook as your legal record, and always confirm recency against your authority's current rules.
