flight logs
Pilot's trip diary
Flight logs are official records documenting aircraft operations—departure and arrival times, routes, fuel consumption, crew members, and flight duration.
Pilots and airlines maintain them for regulatory compliance and safety tracking.
The term extends to any systematic record of flights: The captain's flight logs showed thousands of hours in the air.
Astronauts and drone operators keep flight logs too.
