Why this gift works
The Standard Pilot Log (SP-30) is ASA's compact black hardcover logbook, about 7-1/2 by 4 inches, designed to comply with FAA recordkeeping requirements. Its columns cover the date, aircraft make and model, ident, route, category, dual received, PIC, day and night, instrument approaches, landings and duration, and the back pages carry the instructor endorsements a student pilot needs.
A pilot's logbook is a legal record and a keepsake at the same time: the first solo, the checkride, every airport visited. A fresh logbook is a meaningful, inexpensive gift for someone starting lessons - or a pilot whose current book is nearly full.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- Someone booked for their first flight lesson
- A student pilot whose first logbook is filling up
Think twice if
- They log flights in an app
- They fly complex or instrument time and want more columns
The catch
It is a basic logbook: advanced pilots say it has fewer columns and lines per page than they want for complex or instrument flying, and a protective cover is sold separately.
Skip for a professional pilot who logs electronically, or one who needs a larger logbook with more columns.
