We are a community for discussion among pilots, students, instructors and aviation professionals. I am posting it here because I think it would be useful.Welcome to /r/flying. I attempted to contact the original author for permission to post the modified sheet but never received a response. I noticed this was not part of the original Cheap Pilot spreadsheet so I modified it. It asks for total time flying in the last 90 days and 12 months. Once a year my flying club’s insurance company requires that I fill out a questionnaire. Remember to ‘enable macros’ when you open the file in excel. So head over to for the download and let me know what you think. What a bargain!īy far one of the best features is the automatic tally of landings within the last 90 days and instrument approaches which makes it very easy to check if you are current. It apparently used to cost $5.00 but it is now free. Mr Wilson has created a great yet easy to use and simple spreadsheet in excel. Then I realized one thing: I couldn’t be the only pilot who ever wanted a nice spreadsheet to log time. Since I often backup my personal data to several locations redundancy was not a concern. I could make something decent, throw in a few macros for some charts and have something that was very simple to extract data from later. So my next idea was to make an Excel spreadsheet. I am looking for something very simple and don’t want to pay for it. I would also have to download a backup anyway just so I didn’t have to worry about that. In the world of aviation it is sadly quite common for a company to just shut its doors one day. The first is I am relying on that third party to handle my data. I have two hangups with third party providers. There are several online/software based logbook companies out there. While the book is great for a hard copy I wanted a faster way to pull up my time and a way to break down hours more efficiently. It is a simple yet well laid out book that you can see here. My current logbook is one I purchased from Sporty’s Pilot Shop.
I have also run into several occasions where I needed to know my current total time or pilot in command hours. While I am closing in on that magical 100hrs of total time I started thinking about a way to backup my logbook just in case. We all know that tracking our hours is not only useful it is also quite rewarding.
