Logbook on Pilot EFB Desk is the same record you keep on the phone, laid out as a table with room to work: a career band across the top, four views, and a spreadsheet mode for corrections that would take an afternoon one entry at a time. The foot of every logbook screen reads "Personal record only." - your own record, not your operator's system and not a legal document.

Find your way around

Click Logbook under Operations in the sidebar (Cmd+3). The page header carries the title, a Home / Logbook breadcrumb and two actions: Export (the logbook actions menu - filters, saved filters, every export) and New entry. Under it sits the status band - your name and base, the career total with this month's addition, PIC, night and landings counters, the three recency trackers with their status word, and the next credential due - then the four views:

View	What it shows
Entries	Every entry by calendar month, newest first, as a sortable table with search, filter chips and Bulk edit
Totals & Career	Time by window and by aircraft type, hours by month, milestones, carry-forward, and links to the Insights dashboard and the Career view
Currency & Credentials	The recency console, your rules, the recency horizon, the door to Logbook health, and your credentials and reminders
Map	Your flying as a route map

The view is in the URL (/logbook?view=currency), so a bookmark reopens the one you want. On the Entries view a Time format toggle at the right of the tab row switches every duration between H:MM and Decimal. Two more controls live in the top bar for this section only: the density button (dense or comfortable rows, for the tables) and the Cmd+K search.

The Logbook page on Pilot EFB Desk: a header with Export and New entry buttons, a status band reading FO Sofia, EGLL base, A320 ATPL, last flight LIRF to EGLL on 06 Sep 26, a career total of 466:16 with 07:40 logged this month, PIC 23:20, night 61:21, landings 158, three trackers for take-offs and landings 23/3, night landings 6/3 and IFR approaches 50/6 all reading Current, and a Due 20d SEPT recurrent chip, then tabs for Entries, Totals and Career, Currency and Credentials and Map with an H:MM or Decimal time format toggle, a search field reading Search aircraft, ICAOs, crew, remarks, a Filter button, chips for All flights 258, This month 4, Night 32, Cross-country 248 and Sim 2, Refresh and Bulk edit buttons, a sort row with Date, Total, Night, IFR, XC, Type, Reg, Apch, Dual, Instr and Act IF, a Columns switch reading With data 23 or All 25, and a table grouped under September 2026 with 4 entries, 07:40 time and 2 landings and August 2026 with 18 entries, listing A320 sectors between LIRF, EGLL, EHAM and LEMD with out and in times in Zulu, SIC function, PF or PM chips and pilot time, conditions, type time and operations columns, a pager reading Showing 1-50 of 258 flights, page 1 of 6, and the line Personal record only — The Entries view: the status band, the four view tabs, chips and sort controls over the month-grouped table.

How to log a flight

Click New entry in the page header, or press Cmd+N (Ctrl+N on Windows). The New logbook entry modal opens over the table. (For an empty form instead, open Export and choose New entry (blank form).)
Leave the entry type on Flight. With smart defaults on, the date, aircraft type, registration and departure are pre-filled from your recent flying.
Enter the times in UTC: off-blocks and on-blocks, and wheels-off and wheels-on if you record air time. Block and air time are worked out as you type.
Count the take-offs, landings and approaches, with day and night separate, then add night, IFR, cross-country and instrument time, your role and who you flew with.
Click Save entry, or press Cmd+Enter from anywhere in the form. The modal closes and the table refreshes in place.

The New logbook entry modal over the Entries table: a header reading New logbook entry, Flight leg EHAM to a blank arrival, with a close button, a Flight and Simulator switch set to Flight, a live readout of BLOCK dashes, TYPE A320 and ROLE SIC, a Templates card with a Save as template button and a note that templates remember an aircraft, route and role you fly often, then the 01 Sector section with the Date Sun 13 Sep 2026 and an edit button, Aircraft type A320 with recent-type chips A320, C172 and DA42, Aircraft registration G-PEFA, and Departure and Arrival fields, and a footer reading Total block this entry with Cancel, Save & new sector and Save entry buttons, over the logbook table with FO Sofia, EGLL BASE, the Entries tab and September and August 2026 rows — New entry: the Flight or Simulator switch, the live block readout, templates, and the Sector section pre-filled from your recent flying.

How to find, sort and filter entries

On the Entries view, type in the search field - it reaches aircraft, ICAO codes, crew names and remarks.
Click a quick-filter chip: All flights, This month, Night, Cross-country or Sim. Each carries its count, and the chip rides the URL (/logbook?chip=night), so a shared link opens the same cut.
For anything finer, click Filter (date range, aircraft type, airport, role, entry type, route pair or flight folder). Clear filters takes you back to everything. Save a filter you reuse from Export > Save current filter; it appears under Smart groups above the table.
Click a column in the Sort row - Date, Total, Night, IFR, XC, Type, Reg, Apch, Dual, Instr or Act IF - to sort the whole logbook by it, and Clear to restore month order.

The table shows only columns that have data by default (With data); click All under Columns to show every column. Fifty rows fill a page; Prev and Next page through the rest, and the page, sort and columns all sit in the URL beside the chip.

How to open, edit and delete an entry

Click a row. The entry opens in a modal over the table: the flight as a boarding-pass style hero, the route flown, then every field the entry carries - Recorded time, conditions, crew, remarks and photos.
Click Edit in the modal footer. The same form as New entry opens in place, with the entry loaded. Make the change and click Save changes.
Log again starts a new entry pre-filled from this one. Open flight jumps to the linked flight folder when there is one.
Delete asks you to confirm, then a toast offers Undo for five seconds.

A signed entry shows a Locked badge and the footer button reads Unlock & edit: you are asked to unlock it before the form opens. Every row also has Edit, Log again and Delete on hover. The open entry is in the URL too (?entry=), so a refresh or a shared link reopens it; a deep link to /logbook/view/<id> shows the same record as a page, and /logbook/<id> opens the editor directly.

How to edit many entries at once

Bulk edit is a Desk-only surface. It turns the Entries table into a spreadsheet grid and previews every change before it is written.

On the Entries view, click Bulk edit. The heading changes to Edit mode, with Shortcuts, Find duplicates, Columns, Add row and Done on the right. Any filter or chip you had set stays in force, so the grid holds only the rows you were looking at.
Tick the rows you want to change with the checkbox rail, or the header checkbox to select every filtered row. The bar reads how many are selected.
Choose an operation from the bar:
- Set field - pick a field, pick or type the value, choose Selected rows or Whole filtered column, then Preview change.
- Find & replace - find text across all text fields or one of them, with Match case and Whole field options, then Preview replace.
- Duplicate copies the ticked rows; Delete marks them for deletion; Clear empties the selection.
- Fill down: focus a cell and press Cmd+D to copy its value down the ticked rows.
- Paste: copy a block from a spreadsheet and press Cmd+V at the focused cell (or the first ticked row); columns map left to right from that cell.
Read the preview. It lists each row with the before and after values and flags any change that feeds currency or totals. Click Apply (or Delete / Duplicate) to commit, or Cancel.
Click Done to leave edit mode.

Every batch is written as one transaction, so it lands whole or not at all. Cmd+Z undoes the last batch, and the Undo button in the edit-mode bar names what it would reverse. Locked rows are greyed with a padlock, read-only in the grid and skipped by every bulk operation; a pasted line that lands on one is reported as skipped rather than shifting the rest down.

The Logbook in Edit mode: the status band unchanged above, a heading reading Edit mode with Shortcuts, Find duplicates, Columns, Add row and Done buttons, a bar reading 5 selected with Set field, Find & replace, Duplicate, Delete and Clear, the note that changes preview before they commit and the last batch can be undone, a Field picker set to Role with PIC, SIC, DUAL, SPIC, PUT and PICUS choices, an Apply to switch on Selected rows beside Whole filtered column, the line Apply to 5 rows, Cancel and Preview change buttons, and beneath it a spreadsheet grid with a checkbox rail where five A320 rows dated 2026-09-06 to 2026-08-27 are ticked, with columns for date, from, to, type, registration, role, kind, off blocks UTC, on blocks UTC, landings day and night, full stop day and night and takeoffs, footed Personal record only — Edit mode with five rows ticked and Set field open on Role: the change previews before anything is written.

How to read your totals and career charts

Open Totals & Career. The lead panel gives total time, PIC, SIC, day, night and instrument for the window you pick, and tiles appear only for what you have logged - cross-country, approaches, multi-engine, turbine, simulator and more.
Scroll for Time by aircraft type, Hours by month, Milestones and the Carry-forward panel for hours from before Pilot EFB.
Under Analytics & career, click Insights dashboard. The Insights page opens with a Period switch (All time, Last 12 months or the current year), the Goals card, a stat strip, and the charts: cumulative hours, yearly and monthly totals, hours by role, fleet mix, conditions, approaches by type, records and career pace.
Click + Add goal on the Goals card, set an hours target, and the card tracks your pace toward it.
Print report opens the browser's print dialog with the analytics report laid out; choose Save as PDF there to keep it. Career view, back on Totals & Career, is the same record condensed into stat tiles and milestones.

The Insights page on Pilot EFB Desk, subtitled Career analytics desk, with Refresh and Print report buttons: a Period switch with All time selected beside Last 12 months and 2026, the note that all time means every logged entry plus any carry-forward brought from a previous logbook, a Goals card inviting you to set your first goal with a plus Add goal button, a stat strip reading total time 466:16, PIC 23:20, night 61:21, IFR 440:26, landings 158, sectors 256 and simulator 08:00, and a Currency lapse timeline from September to July with an Open currency link, drawing the A320 type rating, IR(A) multi-engine, LPC, OPC and Class 1 medical as renew-soon bars ending 31 Oct and 4 Nov, night full-stop landings and take-offs and landings ending 4 Nov and 25 Nov, and aviation security, line check, instrument approaches, CRM recurrent and first aid as current bars running to dates from 31 Jan to 31 May — Insights: the period switch, goals and stat strip above the currency lapse timeline.

How to check your recency

Open Currency & Credentials. The Recency hero names your posture - "You're current" when every tracked rule is met - with the most urgent rule, its count against the requirement and its next expiry, and four instruments for Lapsed, Expiring, Current and Not tracked.
Read the Rules cards. Each shows the count of qualifying landings or approaches against the number required, the status word, Next expiry and the date the rolling window starts. Click a card to open the rule with the entries that count toward it.
Use the Recency horizon to look ahead: the ruler marks each coming lapse over the next twelve months, and Evaluate as of projects your recency at a date you type or jump to with +1 mo, +3 mo, +6 mo or +12 mo. It is a read-only projection from your logbook.
Below the horizon, Credentials & reminders lists your ratings, checks, medical and documents with their expiry status. Add credential and Manage credentials go to Settings > Credentials, where each credential is dated.

Three rules are built in: take-offs and landings over 90 days, night full-stop landings over 90 days, and instrument approaches over 6 calendar months. To add your own, click Add rule (on the standalone /logbook/currency page it sits in the header) and give it a Display name, a type, an optional aircraft type, the Required landings or approaches, and the Rolling window (days).

The Currency page on Pilot EFB Desk, subtitled 258 entries evaluated 12:31Z, with Refresh and Add rule buttons: a Recency panel with a 3/3 current ring, the headline You're current with an All tracked rules current chip, the line Night full-stop landings (90 days) 6 / 3 next expiry 04 Nov, 258 entries and 3 of 3 rules tracked, a sentence that currency is computed from landings and approaches logged in the app within each rolling window and carry-forward totals are not counted, and instruments reading lapsed 0, expiring 0, current 3 and not tracked 0, then a Rules panel with three cards, Night full-stop landings 6 of 3 required with next expiry 04 Nov 2026, Takeoffs and landings 23 of 3 required with next expiry 25 Nov 2026, and Instrument approaches 50 of 6 required with next expiry 28 Feb 2027, each marked Current with its window start, and a Recency horizon panel reading 9 current, 6 expiring, 0 lapsed, reading your recency as of 10 Sep 2026, an Evaluate as of date field, a twelve-month ruler with lapse markers, jump buttons for Today, plus 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, the note 14 lapses in the next 12 months and 1 beyond, and the footer Personal record only - not a certified legality check — The Currency console: posture, rule cards and the recency horizon - computed only from logged entries.

How to run the logbook health check

On Currency & Credentials, click the Logbook health door under the recency horizon. Its caption tells you how many advisory findings are waiting, or invites you to scan for gaps, overlaps and continuity breaks.
Read the Record health hero: a ring showing the share of scanned entries with no contradiction or review item, a Clean scan or Worst: chip, the scan time, and a count per severity.
Use the Triage rail to narrow the ledger: All findings, one severity, one family of check, Possible duplicates, or Reviewed.
Work the Findings ledger, grouped By issue or By entry. Each row explains the finding and names the entry; Open shows it read-only, Fix opens the editor on the exact field, and Reviewed acknowledges a finding you have judged fine. The ledger pages in batches; click Show more for the rest.

The Logbook health console: a header reading Logbook health, 258 entries scanned 21:44Z, a RECORD HEALTH panel with a 97 percent CLEAN ring, the line 90 findings across 26 entries with a Worst Contradictions chip, a note that 252 entries had no contradiction or review item and incomplete fields are not counted in the gauge, the advisory-only sentence, a Scanned 21:44Z stamp and a Re-scan button, three severity cells reading CONTRADICTIONS 4, REVIEW SUGGESTED 6 and INCOMPLETE RECORDS 80 each with a one-line meaning, a TRIAGE rail listing All findings 90, Contradictions with Overlaps another entry 4, Review suggested with Departs from a different airport than the last arrival 6, Incomplete records with Engine class, Aircraft category, Time basis and Operation type not recorded 20 each, and Possible duplicates and Reviewed at 0, and a FINDINGS ledger with a By issue and By entry switch listing Overlaps another entry across four EGLL LIRF and EGTB rows with a WHERE line and a FIX suggestion, then Review suggested — The health console: the clean-rate ring and severity cells, the Triage rail, and the findings ledger grouped by issue - advisory only, as the hero says.

The console says what it is on the hero: "Advisory only. These are record-quality checks on your own logbook - internal contradictions and likely gaps - never a currency or legality determination, and a clean scan cannot confirm the record is complete."

How to export your logbook

The export path on Desk is CSV, delivered as a browser download.

Click Export in the page header and choose Export CSV. Pick the scope (all entries or the filtered set) and the dialect - Pilot EFB, ForeFlight, LogTen Pro or mccPILOTLOG - and the file downloads. Export logbook (CSV) under Settings > Export does the same for the whole logbook, as UTF-8 with BOM.
For a formatted logbook, choose Export PDF from the same menu. On the desk this opens the browser's print dialog with the logbook laid out; choose Save as PDF there. Because a browser cannot tell the app whether you saved or cancelled, the app only ever reports that the dialog opened. Experience report, 8710 summary and Share summary sit in the same menu.

How to bring entries in

CSV import. Open Settings > Logbook settings and under Data click Import CSV. Click Pick CSV file (or drop the file on the window), map the columns the wizard could not match, review the Preview & review step - duplicates already in your logbook and duplicates within the file are marked - then import. Nothing is written until you confirm, and a failed import writes nothing.
Build from duties. On the same page, click Build from duties. Draft entries are built from the duties you keep in Duty & FTL: block times come from the schedule, positioning sectors and flights already in your logbook are skipped, and you review the drafts before anything is added. Confirm the actual times and add the aircraft afterwards.

On iPhone and iPad

The phone keeps the same record and the same rules, without the desk surfaces: there is no bulk-edit grid, no Insights desk and no health console layout, and the free tier caps logging at 300 logged hours. Recently deleted - the 30-day recovery list for deleted entries - is on the phone's logbook menu only; on the desk, use the five-second Undo after a delete. Logbook on iPhone covers all of it.

Troubleshooting

The table shows fewer columns than I expected. The Columns switch is on With data, which hides any column that is empty across the current rows. Click All.

A chip or sort I set is gone after sharing the link. The chip, page, sort and columns ride the URL only while they are set; the link you copied may have been taken before you set them. Set them again and copy the address bar.

Bulk edit skipped some rows. They are locked. Open the entry, remove or pause its signature, and it becomes editable again.

A rule shows lapsed but I flew recently. Check the entries carry the evidence the rule needs: night full-stop landings for the night rule, approaches for the instrument rule. Carry-forward totals never count toward currency.

The PDF export reported only that the dialog opened. That is all the browser can tell the app. If you cancelled the dialog, nothing was saved; run Export PDF again and choose Save as PDF.

Where next

Duty & FTL - the duties that Build from duties turns into draft entries.
Keyboard and command deck - Cmd+N, Cmd+3 and the grid keys alongside every other shortcut.
Settings and sync - Auto-sync, credentials, and the export and import pages.
Logbook on iPhone - the same record on the phone.
