An electronic Flight Journal (eFJ) is a simple text file within which pilot flight records are recorded in an inuitive, non-tabular way. As an example, a couple of days flying for a Captain might look 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 Python parser library for text files with this format. It converts an eFJ into a list of Sector objects and a list of Duty Objects. The web application at https://hursts.org.uk/efj/ makes use of this library to create FCL.050 compliant HTML logbooks and summaries from an eFJ.
