Flight Training
Logbook Documentation
GA's last frontier to conquer with innovation.
Code of Federal Regulations
§61.51 Pilot logbooks.
(h) Logging training time.
(1) A person may log training time when that person receives training from an authorized instructor in an aircraft, full flight simulator, flight training device, or aviation training device.
(2) The training time must be logged in a logbook and must:
(i) Be endorsed in a legible manner by the authorized instructor; and
(ii) Include a description of the training given, the length of the training lesson, and the authorized instructor's signature, certificate number, and certificate expiration date.
Shouldn't CFI entries be better than this?
Extensive shorthand using
FAR chapter and element references as proxy to meet the requirement of describing training given.
Barely legible hand scribbled logbook entries crammed into one block using ambiguous terms to describe training given.
We at believe the CFI and student deserve the greatest tool bag to prep for their checkride, don't you?
And, because we think logbook reviews shouldn't be a puzzle, we created
COMPASS
COMPASS is digital with no space constraints. What you'll see is a full, unquestionable accounting of a student's training.
COMPASS auto-populates logbook entries that meet and/or exceed the FAR requirement for descriptions of training given.
COMPASS auto-calculates skills and flight time totals as they happen. Summary totals of qualifying requirements are accurate and precise.
COMPASS makes checkride
logbook review and approval so easy,
you can do it from your living room.
