Logbook question

Bradley Tucker · Post by **Bradley Tucker** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 5:10 pm

Hello all

I am sure this has been discussed here before at great length. I could not find any recent post.

I am about to fill my first logbook and am trying to decide what to get next. I am liking the look of the Jepp. Professional log book as it seems to be versatile as to SIC command in both single and Multi where as the others do not. I was also thinking of an electronic logbook and looking for people's opinions on them and which ones to look at. I am looking to peruse flying as a career and want something that works at all levels as I am flying skydivers now and who knows what is next.

Thanks

Make yourself a spreadsheet and log your time on that. If in the future you need a single engine SIC column, you just add it.

How does transport look at that when applying for an ATPL

They don't mind, provided you have all the relative hours and such. People these days seem to think you must fire off your logbook for months to be checked. Just print out your logbook pages, sign them and off you go.

In that regards what are the offices to do ATPL applications the fastest these days? Winnipeg, Hamilton?

That's exactly what I did. Printed out my spreadsheet, stapled it together and handed it in, no questions asked.

Never got it back though, I guess they weren't interested in returning my logbook

They were running 'way behind on processing
paperwork recently. Pick another.

Maybe they've gotten a lot faster this summer
with everyone on vacation, but I wouldn't bet
on it.

As soon as I got a cpl I immediately sprung for logbook pro. It's essentially just a glorified spreadsheet, but with a ton of options, and no adding mistakes

Well worth it.

With logbook pro can you have it on a PC and then access it on an iPad or iPhone?

What did you just print a report for transport canada?

It only works with your apple products iPad, iPhone, or Macs.

You can export into and out of it but that would not work well as a daily practice.

It will generate reports for printing or logbook pages if you prefer or need.

Far more printing options and flexibility with mac versions

Another option might be to use google docs, which works on all devices and lets you import/export as excel.

mccPILOTLOG is a great app if you run a Windows Product. (I have a Nokia 920)

Let's you print.

I have a Nokia 920

I'm glad to hear that you'll still be
using it in 30 years.

The good thing about hardware and
software is that it is never EOL'd.

Doesn't help you with punctuation though.

Will it run on my Wang word processor?

The fact that I knew what that was, just made me feel old.

Don't tell me this is going to degenerate into another "whose Wang is bigger" discussion...

I applied for an INRAT and type rating in early April and still haven't heard a thing. I tried to check on it 2 weeks ago and haven't gotten a reply yet. So I'm going to say no.

Back in the day, Wangs were HUGE!
