Take our survey - How is your authority performing?

It takes about 5 minutes to answer these questions about your experience with the authorities.

To the survey
As long as there is no clear legal framework for pilots in every country, we are committed to working towards this. A good legal framework helps everyone: the providers, the companies, the authorities, and most importantly, the pilots.

It is the duty of aviation authorities in every country to provide a solid basis of regulations.

Ask our support team

Do I still need a paper logbook with a license issued by United States of America?

If the above score of your authority is higher than 75%, you can go with a digital logbook without any issues. If the score is below 40%, you have to be careful. You have to balance the risk against the benefits and find a compromise.

How can I contribute in improving the legal situation in United States of America?

The authorities often struggle with too few resources. The issue often remains on their desks due to a lack of prioritization. The best thing you can do as a pilot is to actively demand this from the authorities and point out the shortcomings. Involve your local AOPA, AeroClub or pilot union to take a stand towards proper digital requirements.
