Logbook software

Soar · Post by **Soar** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 10:13 pm

Hi,

I'd like to transition to using an electronic logbook (software version on a pc) and am wondering if anyone can recommend any logbook software (to replace the paper one) that they currently use or know of.

I remember seeing a thread on this before, but a search showed up nothing related. Thank you kindly for any recommendations!

I would do my own Excel Spreadsheet if I was you. It's more work but it's WAY more flexible.

Excel, just e-mail it to yourself (Online e-mail, ie hotmail/g-mail) and then you never have to worry about it getting lost/shut down.

It calculates times in columns, and does your Grand Totals....too easy.

10 Taker's so far on the excel spread sheet. Let me know what you think.

Also if it asks if "macro's" have to be enabled or not. Ensure that they are...I don't know what they are, or what it does...but my friend disabled them on his and it didn't work smoothly.

Any comments on people that don't keep a hand written log book anymore? I know it's nice to look back on but it's a real pain in the butt for someone with messy writing like myself. I have been using the Aloft one for sometime but still try and keep my paper one up to date. I just think it is kind of pointless to keep them both going all the time. Any comments or problems people have had (it is always backed up and in hard copy as well).

You can go and check Mycanadianlogbook.com out to.. A great place to keep your flight hours...

I use both digital and paper. Digital is backed up, and the digital backs the paper up. I must say...I use the digital to ensure that I add up times correctly, and it is by far much neater.

Though I still prefer the paper logbook.

Over 28 people requested a copy so far

. Enjoy.

I've been using the following site:

http://www.logshare.com

It's free. Also, it can show your hours and totals (per month, year, aircraft, etc) in bar graphs, which is pretty cool.

It's now uploaded to a publicly shared folder. After 40+ responses I figured I'd find somthing to put it on

http://avcanada.4shared.com

Feel free to upload any documents and what not on that shared folder that others might enjoy.

Your welcome.

Because with free stuff you're not at a loss. While most pay hundreds for software ... I say stick it to the man and get it for free.

HUH!!! Hundred of what?? i only pay like $12 a year for http://www.mycanadianlogbook.com .... what programs are $100 to use... damm now that is expensive....

Adam Oke · Post by **Adam Oke** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 9:15 pm

I was refering to all software. For example...Office XP...rather expensive. Or, you can scrounge up a free copy.

Funny I found this thread... tonight, just finished entering my last log entry into electronic format.

I'm using Logbook Pro for PC, and also have the PDA version. Very powerful analyzing tool that (as mentioned above) will let you figure out how many hours you flew in a particular airplane, or group, over any specified time period. The duty time function is based on FAA regs, so the warnings may not be useful, but you can customize a lot of the features. Once you buy it, you have access to a forum a lot like this where tech nerds can help you format and use the program the way you want. A bit pricey, but a good product. Here's the link: http://www.nc-software.com

Is there any software rigged towards Canadian Regs?

Not sure, but a number of people in the "wishlist" forum of the site have suggested including Canadian duty times as a parameter for the warnings. They are being considered for the next version. Other than that, not sure of a program that does it.
