Forms Useful for Pilots and Instructors

Instructional Flight Record Form – Form to use when conducting instructional flight to track the flight, items completed, and print as a record for the instructor and the student. Form works in iPad and Adobe Reader PDF formats.

Instrument Proficiency Flight Record Form – Form to track and document an instrument proficiency check. Allows tracking of items, sat/unsat denotations, instructor and pilot signatures. Form works in iPad and Adobe Reader PDF formats. Includes the PTS information for IPC requirements.

Fillable 8710 Form – iPad and Adobe Reader form that allows the 8710 to filled out in the event that IACRA is not being used for a practical test.

Statement of US Ownership for FAA Aircraft Registry Form – A form that has fillable fields to use when registering an aircraft that confirms U.S. ownership. This form is becoming a required item with many aircraft registered under any corporate structure but is not a form that is provided by the FAA. This form contains all the requisite infromation that is needed when doing this filing currently.

Pilot Logbook Excel File – A robust Microsoft Excel pilot logbook template. If you aren’t using a software piece for this, it is a great alternative option. (I still use it).
