Pilot logbooks and aircraft logbooks for every stage of your flying

A pilot logbook is a legal record, a career document, and a personal history of every hour you have spent in the air. Choosing the right one matters: a logbook that runs out of space before your next certificate, or that lacks columns for the time your training requires, is more than an inconvenience. Pilot Mall carries FAA-compliant pilot logbooks, professional flight crew logbooks, and aircraft and maintenance records from ASA and Jeppesen, the two publishers most flight schools and professional crews rely on. The guide below helps you match the format to the flying you plan to do, not just the hours you have today.

Types of pilot logbooks

Standard pilot logbooks

Standard logbooks use a compact column set sized for student, recreational, and private flying, and they slip easily into a flight bag next to your kneeboard. The ASA Standard Pilot Logbook includes every column primary training requires and comes in several covers, including navy and an expanded 206-page burgundy edition for pilots who want more room in one volume. For a sturdier book, the ASA Standard Pilot Logbook hardcover (SP-57) adds a hardbound spine that holds up in a bag.

Professional and flight crew logbooks

Professional logbooks add expanded columns for multi-engine, turbine, SIC, instrument, and other categories, and they hold far more entries per page, so a career fits in fewer volumes. The Jeppesen Professional Pilot Logbook is a durable ten-year flight record, the Jeppesen Premium Hardbound Logbook holds 520 entries, and the ASA Flight Crew Logbook is built for the detailed records professional crews keep.

Aircraft and maintenance logbooks

Pilot time and aircraft records are two different jobs. Aircraft owners keep separate airframe, engine, and propeller records, and the ASA Aircraft Flight Log keeps that maintenance and flight tracking in one place. Aviation maintenance technicians documenting the supervised experience required for A&P certification use the spiral-bound ASA AMT Logbook.

European (EASA) logbooks

Pilots flying under European rules need a logbook laid out for EASA and JAR-style records rather than the U.S. column set. The Jeppesen Premium European Pilot Logbook is a ten-year edition built for that format. U.S. pilots should choose an FAA-style standard or professional logbook instead.

ASA

ASA (Aviation Supplies and Academics) publishes the logbooks most flight schools hand to new students, spanning the compact Standard Pilot Logbook, the professional Flight Crew Logbook, the Aircraft Flight Log for owners, and the AMT Logbook for mechanics. They are a dependable, affordable starting point for primary training.

Jeppesen

Jeppesen is the name career pilots trust for long-term flight records. Its Professional Pilot Logbook and Premium Hardbound Logbook are built to survive a decade of daily use, with the expanded columns and large entry capacity an airline or corporate career demands, plus a European edition for EASA pilots.

How to choose the right pilot logbook

• Match it to the flying you plan to do. Buy for the certificates and ratings ahead of you, not just the hours you have logged so far, so you are not opening a new volume mid-training.
• Standard or professional columns. Student and recreational pilots are well served by a standard log, while career-track and airline pilots want the expanded multi-engine, turbine, SIC, and instrument columns of a professional logbook.
• Capacity and size. Decide how many entries you want before starting a new book, and whether a compact softcover that fits a flight bag or a hardbound ten-year record suits your habits better.
• Pilot record or aircraft record. Personal flight time and aircraft airframe, engine, and prop records are different logs, so owners and mechanics need a dedicated aircraft log or AMT logbook in addition to a pilot logbook.
• Paper as a backup to digital. Many pilots keep a paper logbook as a legal backup to an electronic flight bag log; if you fly with an EFB, round out your setup with iPad and tablet accessories.

Log entries should be made in permanent ink, so pick up a reliable aviation pen while you are here, then round out your kit with aircraft checklists, private pilot training materials, and the rest of your cockpit supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information are pilots required to log?

Under FAR 61.51, a pilot logbook should keep a reliable record of the date, the aircraft make, model, and identification, the departure and arrival points, the total flight time, the category and class, the conditions of flight, and the type of pilot time. Standard and professional logbooks include columns for each.

Do pilots have to keep a paper logbook?

No. The FAA does not mandate paper or any specific format. A digital record is acceptable as long as it is reliable and can be produced for the Administrator on request. Many pilots still keep a paper logbook as a legal backup to their electronic flight bag log in case a device or account is lost.

What is the difference between a standard and a professional pilot logbook?

A standard logbook uses a compact column set sized for student and recreational flying. A professional logbook adds expanded columns for multi-engine, turbine, SIC, instrument, and other categories, and it holds more entries per page, so it suits career-track and airline pilots who log many varied hours.

Which logbook is best for a student pilot?

A standard FAA-compliant logbook such as the ASA Standard Pilot Logbook is the best choice for a student pilot. It includes every column primary training requires, fits easily in a flight bag, and is affordable, so you can start logging hours from your first lesson without paying for columns you will not use yet.

Which logbook do professional and airline pilots use?

Professional and airline pilots typically use a professional logbook such as the Jeppesen Professional Pilot Logbook or the ASA Flight Crew Logbook. These add the expanded columns a career needs, including multi-engine, turbine, SIC, and instrument time, and hold enough entries to cover many years of daily flying.

What logbook do aircraft owners and mechanics need?

Aircraft owners keep separate airframe, engine, and propeller records in an aircraft log such as the ASA Aircraft Flight Log, which is different from a personal pilot logbook. A&P candidates document their supervised maintenance experience in the ASA AMT Logbook to qualify for certification.
