Logbooks and regulations
Can I keep my logbook electronically?
Under AMC1 FCL.050, the logbook may be kept in the prescribed format electronically. There is more on the EASA logbook and FAA logbook pages.
Does Log-K work to EASA or FAA rules?
Both. From a single entry, Log-K fills in both the EASA and the FAA columns, in the iOS app and in the web logbook (currently in German). Log-K also counts your landings of the last 90 days by rating or type, as described in the 90-day rule guide.
Import and export
Which rosters and logbooks can I import?
Roster PDFs from NetLine/CREWLINK (IDP and FTR) and CrewAccess, see roster import. Existing logbooks from a LogTen Pro backup, the LogTen text export, an OffBlock CSV or a logbook PDF in EASA layout, see switching to Log-K. Both work in the iOS app and in the web logbook (currently in German), each with an account and an internet connection, because the files are read on our server.
Can I switch from mccPILOTLOG or ForeFlight?
Yes. Email your mccPILOTLOG or ForeFlight backup to mail@knabe-gmbh.de and include the email address of your Log-K account. We will take care of the import. You can import logbooks from LogTen Pro and OffBlock as well as logbook PDFs in EASA layout yourself. The exact files are listed under switching to Log-K.
Can I export my logbook as a PDF?
Yes, in the iOS app and in the web logbook (currently in German): both export your logbook as a PDF in EASA or FAA layout, for any period you choose and with your previous experience carried forward.
Data and privacy
Where is my data stored?
Our server is hosted by Hetzner in Germany, and the app and your browser connect to it over TLS. Some features involve service providers, for example for looking up flight times and for confirmation and password emails. A small number of administrators can see your account data for support and operations, and we store when you last used Log-K. The privacy policy has all the details.
Are there any ads or tracking?
No. Log-K shows no ads, uses no third-party trackers or analytics and does not sell data. Technical usage data such as connection data is processed as described in the privacy policy.
Does Log-K work offline?
The iOS app works without a connection and syncs once you are back online. The web logbook (currently in German) and imports need a connection.
App, web and account
Which devices does Log-K run on?
The app runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac with iOS or iPadOS 18.2 or later, on Mac with Apple silicon. There is also the web logbook (currently in German) in your browser. Android is in the works. How to install the app is explained under get the app.
What does Log-K cost?
Free during the open beta. All you need is an account, which you can create in the app or in the web logbook (currently in German).
Can I delete my account?
Yes, at any time and on your own: in the iOS app under Settings → Account & Sync, or in the settings of the web logbook (currently in German). This deletes your account, your synced logbook data, shared flights and all sessions from our server. For help with your account, contact support.
