Scores of the competent authorities in Italy

The Competent Authority in Italy, the Ente nazionale per l’aviazione civile ENAC, has officially published Guidance Material (GM) on the 26th of January 2022 in the form of a Nota Informativa (NI) n.º NI-2022-001 to officially accept digital pilot logbooks.

They defined the format acceptable in a rather pragmatic way, without any significant additional constraints for digital logbooks.

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.

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

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 'Italy'?

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.
