What the FAA requires from your logbook

Under FAR 61.51, the FAA permits electronic logbooks provided they meet specific requirements for content, accuracy, and retrievability.

FAR 61.51 Requirements

The FAA requires that a pilot logbook include date, total flight or lesson time, departure and arrival locations, type and identification of aircraft, and the name of any safety pilot. Entries must record the type of experience or training — such as PIC, SIC, instrument, night, or cross-country time. The logbook must be accurate, retrievable, and presentable for inspection by the FAA upon request.

Wingman captures all of these fields as standard. Every flight entry records the data the FAA expects, and exports produce PDF logbooks in accepted formats including Jeppesen Professional and ASA layouts.

Frequently asked questions

Does the FAA accept digital logbooks?
Yes. The FAA has confirmed that electronic logbooks are acceptable under FAR 61.51, provided they contain all required information and can be presented for inspection. The FAA does not mandate a specific format — only that the records are accurate, retrievable, and include the required data fields. Wingman meets all of these requirements.
Can I use Wingman for an FAA checkride?
Yes. You can export your logbook as a print-ready PDF in standard formats (Jeppesen, ASA) and present it to your DPE. Many pilots also keep a printed copy alongside their digital logbook for checkrides.
What if I'm training under Part 141? Does Wingman track that separately?
Yes. You can log Part 141 and Part 61 time separately, and Wingman's summary reports break down totals by training type for licence applications.
Can I import my existing logbook from LogTen Pro or ForeFlight?
Yes. Our team handles migrations from LogTen Pro, ForeFlight, MyFlightbook, RB Logbook, Excel files, and even paper logbooks. We verify the data transfer to ensure nothing is lost.
Is my data safe if I switch phones or lose my device?
Yes. Your logbook is continuously backed up to the cloud. Sign in on any device — iOS, Android, or web browser — and your complete logbook is there. No data is stored only on your device.
