WHAT'S IN SKYLOG

The columns, capacities and day/night splits follow CASR Part 61, so your hours go where they belong and the totals come out right. If this is your first digital logbook, it'll feel familiar from the start.

THE LOGBOOK

ICUS, Dual, PIC and SIC across day and night, single and multi-engine. Aircraft details fill in from the CASA register, and the totals add themselves up.

Coming soon

AUTOLOG™ IMPORT

Point your phone at your paper logbook and the handwriting becomes draft entries — you check each one before anything is saved.

BACK UP YOUR PAPER LOGBOOK

Photograph your paper logbook pages with your phone and they're stored with your account. If the original is ever lost or damaged, you have a copy. Download the lot any time as a ZIP or a single PDF.

CURRENCY

Flight review, medical, IPC and ratings with their dates and status. Your 90-day passenger recency is worked out from the flights you've logged.

EMPLOYER-READY EXPORT

A tidy landscape logbook with totals, an hours summary and a certification line. Print it, sign each page, hand it over.

DOCUMENT STORAGE

Your medical, licence, ratings and review paperwork in one place, with expiry dates tracked. Handy when someone asks to see them.

IOS & ANDROID · COMING SOON

ON YOUR DESK AND
IN YOUR FLIGHT BAG

A native Skylog app is on the way — same logbook, built for the phone in your pocket. Until it lands, the site already works well on mobile: log a flight from the apron, scan a page in the hangar, check last-light recency from the couch.

Tip: open skylog.com.au on your phone and choose “Add to Home Screen” — it behaves like an app today.

TIME COLUMNS THAT MATCH THE REGS

ICUS, Dual, PIC and SIC across day and night, per engine band — single and multi on the same flight if that's how you flew it. Put the hours where they belong and the totals take care of themselves.

Currency · Recency

KNOW WHERE YOU STAND BEFORE YOU DRIVE OUT

Your flight review, medical and IPC sit beside your logbook with their dates. Passenger recency comes from your actual landings, day and night, so "am I right to take pax tonight?" is answered on the dashboard.

Dashboard

YOUR YEAR AT A GLANCE

Twelve months of hours, recent flights, and totals by capacity. The logbook does the arithmetic, so there's no re-totalling a page at 11pm with a calculator.

"Skylog is for the student counting every dual hour toward the RPL, the weekend flyer who just wants to know they're right to take the kids up Sunday, and the charter pilot logging six legs before lunch who doesn't have time to fight an app between turnarounds. Flying in this country costs enough — the logbook shouldn't add to it. Skylog is free, takes seconds to fill in, and keeps your record the way CASR Part 61 sets it out. Whether you fly for love, for a licence or for a living — it's just a logbook that does its job."

COMMON QUESTIONS

Is Skylog really free?
Yes — free during early access, no card required. Your records are always yours either way: you can export your full logbook and page archive at any time.
What happens to my paper logbook?
Keep it — and back it up. The Pages tab lets you scan every page with your phone and store the photos with your account, downloadable as a ZIP or single PDF. When AutoLog™ opens, those same pages become digital entries.
When is AutoLog™ available?
It's built and being tested for accuracy — we won't switch it on until it reads a tired Friday-afternoon entry as reliably as a neat one. It will be available to all accounts when it opens.
Is my data safe?
Your records are stored in Sydney, encrypted in transit, and isolated per account at the database level. Flight entries are never hard-deleted — edits are kept as revisions, the way a legal record should behave. And you can export everything, any time.
Does it work for RAAus pilots?
Yes — alphanumeric registrations like 24-1234 are supported alongside VH- marks, with aircraft details entered once and remembered.
Is a digital pilot logbook legal in Australia?
Yes. CASR Part 61 sets out what a personal logbook must contain and how long to keep it — it doesn't require paper. For a logbook kept in electronic form, regulation 61.365 says a CASA request to produce it is met by printing a copy and certifying each page as a true copy. SkyLog's PDF export is built to do exactly that, with a per-page certification line ready to sign. See CASA's flight crew logbooks guidance.
What is a CASR Part 61 pilot logbook?
It's the personal logbook every Australian licence holder must keep under CASR Part 61. After each flight you record the date, aircraft type and registration, departure and arrival points, and your flight time split by capacity (pilot in command, ICUS, dual, co-pilot) plus night and instrument time — and keep the record for at least seven years. SkyLog mirrors those fields exactly, so every entry is Part 61-shaped from the start.
How do I track flight review, medical and currency expiry?
The Currency tab keeps it all in one place — your medical, flight review and instrument proficiency check, plus 90-day take-off and landing recency and instrument approach counts. Expiries follow the CASA convention of running to the end of the month, and your dashboard shows at a glance what's current and what's coming due.
What happens to my hours if I stop using SkyLog?
They're yours to take. You can export your entire logbook at any time as a formatted PDF or an editable Excel file — with totals, time on type and a certification line — and download your scanned page archive as a PDF or ZIP. Nothing is locked in, and the Excel export is structured so your hours can be carried into another system.
