Sample export In development
One flight.
Three correct answers.
A single sector, exported three ways. Nothing here is fudged: every difference below is a real divergence between the authorities' own rules.
Step one
What Sojourn stores
Raw facts only. Note what is absent: there is no night figure, no cross-country figure and no command figure anywhere in this record.
| Date | 14 July 2026 |
|---|---|
| Aircraft | Boeing 777-300ER · A6-ENV |
| Route | OMDB Dubai → EHAM Amsterdam |
| Block out / in | 21:40Z → 04:25Z (+1) · 6:45 |
| Airborne / landing | 21:56Z → 04:12Z (+1) · 6:16 |
| Crew role as flown | Co-pilot, operating under supervision, commander countersigned |
| Actual instrument conditions | 0:24 |
| Simulated (hood) | 0:00 |
| Time under IFR | 6:45 |
| Twilight timestamps | Resolved along track for the date and position |
| Greatest distance from departure | 2,986 NM |
Step two
The same sector, three ways
| Column | FAA | EASA | UK CAA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total time | 6:45 | 6:45 | 6:45 |
| Night | 4:52 | 4:52 | 5:18 |
| Pilot in command | — | 6:45 (PICUS) | 6:45 (PICUS) |
| Second in command / co-pilot | 6:45 | — | — |
| Instrument | 0:24 actual | — | — |
| IFR | — | 6:45 | 6:45 |
| Cross-country | 6:45 | no such column | no such column |
| Multi-pilot time | no such column | 6:45 | 6:45 |
| Countersignature | Not required | Commander | Commander |
Step three
Why each number differs
Night: 4:52 against 5:18
The FAA and EASA both start night at the end of evening civil twilight. The UK Air Navigation Order starts it thirty minutes after sunset, which on a westbound night sector out of Dubai is the earlier moment — so the UK page shows twenty-six more minutes of night.
Same aeroplane, same sky. Different rule.
Command: 6:45 against nothing
Under EASA and UK rules this pilot logs the sector as PICUS, credited toward command and countersigned by the commander. The FAA has no PICUS concept at all. The pilot was not sole manipulator for the sector, so the honest FAA mapping is second in command — not command.
Copying the EASA figure into an FAA command column would overstate command time on a legal document.
Instrument against IFR
The FAA asks how long you flew solely by reference to instruments: twenty-four minutes of actual conditions. EASA asks how long the flight was conducted under IFR: the whole sector. These are different questions, and Sojourn stores the answer to both.
Cross-country, or no such thing
The FAA wants a cross-country column and this sector qualifies comfortably. EASA and the UK have no cross-country column on the page at all — cross-country is derived from the route when a licence requirement calls for it.
A logbook that had stored “4:52 night, 6:45 PIC” at the time of the flight could not have produced the UK page or the FAA page correctly, and would have given no sign that anything was wrong.
The documents themselves
Read the actual pages
These are full renders of the three documents Sojourn produces, computed by the real engines over a fictional twelve-month career — 194 sectors, two types, 35 countries. Every number on them was calculated, not typeset.
