Overview

Pilot Log is a free, aviation logbook application for pilots to log flight time. The user interface is ncurses, text-based. The program is run in a terminal either locally or on a Linux virtual machine. Pilot Log was developed by Stansoft. It utilizes a PostgreSQL database, which means the logbook data can easily be exported for use with other software or imported. An advantage of using a relational database design is that the aircraft registration number is tied to the category and class so they don't need to be entered for each flight, but will automatically be tracked for reporting. Pilot Log includes a program for calculating aircraft weight and balance.
