FAA pilot logbook — free Excel & Google Sheets template
AvLog's FAA edition is a free pilot logbook spreadsheet with the columns U.S. pilots actually use — airplane single- and multi-engine land, day and night, cross-country, actual and simulated instrument, PIC, SIC, solo, dual received and flight instructor — laid out to 14 CFR 61.51. Every column totals itself, and a Currency tab works your recency out from your logged 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.
Laid out to FAA 14 CFR 61
Category/class (ASEL, AMEL), conditions of flight, and type-of-piloting-time columns per 14 CFR 61.51, plus a Summary that totals PIC, night, instrument, cross-country and hours by aircraft type.
Currency & recency
Tracks FAA 14 CFR 61.57 recency: take-offs and landings in the last 90 days (day, and full-stop at night), instrument approaches in the preceding 6 calendar months, and your flight review.
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 FAA 14 CFR 61requirements. Keep your official logbook as your legal record, and always confirm recency against your authority's current rules.
FAA pilot logbook — frequently asked questions
Is AvLog an official FAA logbook?
No. AvLog is a personal tracking and summary tool for planning and job applications — it does not, on its own, satisfy the FAA's logbook requirements. Keep your official logbook as your legal record and always confirm recency against current FAA rules.

Yes. Download it, then in Google Sheets choose File → Import and upload the file — every formula works the same. It also opens in Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers and LibreOffice.
