Scores of the competent authorities in Norway

On the 19th of November 2025, the Luftfartstilsynet, the competent authority in Norway, officially published two statements on their website and in their General Aviation Guide for Norway regarding the acceptance of digital pilot logbooks, after several requests from capzlog.aero.

They permit the use of electronic pilot logbooks for all types of applications, provided that they meet the requirements of AMC1 FCL.050 and that the relevant parts of the logbook are printed, signed, and dated.

75% OK
Legal certainty for pilots
This measure indicates whether in the current situation, the legal requirements are well established and communicated to the license holders.
100% OK
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.
65% OK
Willingness to regulate
EASA gives the competent authorities a lot of leeway. These have to become active in regulation and communicate actively.
65% OK
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 successfully urged the CAA Norway to publicly announce its acceptance of digital pilot logbooks for Norwegian license holders. Our logbook meets all the requirements stated on their website and in their General Aviation Guide for Norway. It also fulfills additional security, integrity, and quality requirements for data that go beyond current national regulations in Norway.

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

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 'Norway'?

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.
