eFJ Toolkit

An electronic Flight Journal (eFJ) is just a text file containing personal flight data using a simple, intuitive scheme that is easy for both computers and humans to work with. It looks something like this:

  2024-02-04
  G-EZBY:A319
  BRS/GLA 0702/0818 n:18 m
  GLA/BHX 0848/1037  # Diversion due weather
  BHX/BRS 1300/1341

  2024-02-05
  G-UZHI:A320
  BRS/FNC 0708/1045 n:6
  FNC/BRS 1127/1451 m

Full details of the format may be found at https://hursts.org.uk/efjdocs/format.html.

This is a set of tools for working with text files following this scheme. It includes the ability to create FCL.050 compliant logbooks and summaries as simple, standalone HTML files that can be viewed with any web browser and further processed with spreadsheets, word processors, PDF converters etc. Full documentation is available at https://hursts.org.uk/efjtkdocs.

The tools are written as command line filters, but a simple GUI front end is also provided for those that prefer. The tools are also available hooked up to a web application at https://hursts.org.uk/efj if you prefer not to install locally.
