Ask our support teamDo I still need a paper logbook with a license issued by the country 'Switzerland'?
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 'Switzerland'?
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.
