ForeFlight has gained support for its integrated Logbook in Europe, delivering a streamlined flight logging experience tailored to the needs of European pilots. The update implements a new Logbook Region setting with options for both US and Europe, the latter of which replaces US-specific field names, recency tracking and reporting formats with European versions in accordance with flight logging standards and guidelines defined by EASA.

“ForeFlight Logbook is designed to make logging simpler, smarter and more useful for every pilot,” says Rachel Scarbrough, ForeFlight product manager. “With the new Logbook addition, we're extending that same ease of use to European pilots, helping them save time, track progress and keep their records in line with the standards they follow every day.”

With this new region setting, pilots can log flights, track recent experience and generate detailed reports using tools aligned with European practices. Switching to the European Logbook automatically updates key elements throughout Logbook, including field terminology, licence and qualification tracking, and progress reports for skill tests such as PPL, LAPL and night ratings. A new FCL.050-style report template provides standardised flight time summaries for selectable date ranges, reflecting the reporting format defined in EASA Part-FCL.

ForeFlight Logbook simplifies post-flight record-keeping with intelligent automation and robust customisation: automatic draft entries generated from Track Logs, pre-filling many fields with known flight data such as airports, route, total time and takeoffs/landings; built-in progress reports to track advancement toward European skill tests and ratings; recency tracking templates follow common European guidelines, including those outlined by EASA, and are updated automatically by flight entries; and report templates for exporting flight data in multiple formats, including standardised summaries and complete logbook exports.

Europe-specific enhancements include: updated flight entry field names reflecting European terminology such as: co-pilot, IFR, PICUS, etc; Europe-specific aircraft category/class designations and other options, such as complex, multi-pilot and single-pilot high-performance; support for European licences, ratings and qualifications; standardised reporting tools, including FCL.050 flight experience summaries and skill test progress tracking such as: single-engine IR(A), CPL(A), LAPL(A) and more.

Alongside these European enhancements, pilots benefit from ForeFlight Logbook's automated and integrated features that greatly simplify flight logging workflows: flexible report generation, endorsements and student-instructor sharing tools; automatic backup options to receive a complete export of your Logbook each month for record-keeping; Logbook data is synchronised and fully accessible on both ForeFlight Mobile and Web for convenience and flexibility; and data protection with redundant storage and robust security measures.

These updates provide pilots with an easier way to maintain detailed, standards-based records aligned with European aviation authorities such as EASA. European Logbook support is available to all ForeFlight customers from December.
