Scores of the competent authorities in Sweden

On the 12th of November 2020, the Competent Authority in Sweden, the Transportstyrelsens, officially published guidance material (GM) in the document TSFS 2020:74 Föreskrifter om ändring i Transportstyrelsens föreskrifter (TSFS 2013:12) om certifikat, auktorisationer och behörighetsbevis.

They permit the use of electronic pilot logbooks provided that they meet the requirements of AMC1 FCL.050, and provided that the flight time information is printed out and signed by the pilot whenever it must be presented.

100% 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.
75% OK
Willingness to regulate
EASA gives the competent authorities a lot of leeway. These have to become active in regulation and communicate actively.
80% 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 is fully compliant with the requirements stated by Transportstyrelsen in Sweden. It also fulfills additional requirements for security, integrity, and quality of data that go beyond current national regulations in Sweden.

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

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.

The authorities often struggle with too few resources. The issue often remains on their desks due to a lack of prioritization.
