Scores of the competent authorities in Austria

AustroControl takes a rather passive approach to the regulation of digital logbooks. High acceptance rate of print outs is good for the pilots. But, the lack of protection for the pilots, especially instructors and examiners who have to sign flights, is not favorable.

Legal certainty for pilots

This measure indicates whether in the current situation, the legal requirements are well established and communicated to the license holders.

Acceptance of exports/prints

If the authority accepts printed exports from digital logbooks in practice, this score increases as no classical paper logbook is required anymore.

Willingness to regulate

EASA gives the competent authorities a lot of leeway. These have to become active in regulation and communicate actively.

Consideration of pilot interests

Regulators may favor this or that stakeholder. This measure shows how much value is placed on the interests of pilots.

capzlog.aero is accepted by AustroControl and recognized as the most advanced digital logbook for pilots. Even though they do not want to take a more active role in establishing regulations for the time being, they will gladly adopt digital requirements from EASA itself.

Do I still need a paper logbook with a license issued by the country 'Austria'?

As long as your authority's score for ‘acceptance of exports/printouts’ is above 60%, you can keep your pilot logbook in electronic format with a clear conscience. It is important that it fulfils all basic compliance requirements (especially FCL.050 AMC1) and supports a clean printable export format.

How can I contribute in improving the legal situation in the country 'Austria'?

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.
