Converting Military time into LogTen Pro
My fellow Americans-
Anybody convert their military log book into LogTen Pro? I've never done anything but military style logging (in the standard issue USN Pilot Logbook), so the civilian equivalents are not obvious to me.
My specific question is - where in LogTen to put my IP time...should this be put under "dual given"? Somewhere else? Just want to be sure before I spend too much time screwing it up. Thanks in advance!

Did you do anything with the PIC/P1 Crew to capture "Aircraft Commander" time or just use the FAR 1 PIC checkbox?

I separated my "Aircraft Commander" time and my "First Pilot" time. Add them together and its my total PIC, but it's also easy to differentiate using that checkbox and running some filters. Be careful about that First Pilot time too, specifically when training on a new category or type. It may not be able to be logged until you are "appropriately typed or rated" as discussed in FAR 61. My advice is to be conservative - the fact you have military time is statement enough.

I put all of my old civ time in and then just put 1 entry per military jet. The program allows you to create custom entries. Since I was a civilian CFI I used dual given for that and then created a Military IP category and Military Evaluator category. You can then create a custom logbook that shows your custom categories. The program is awesome for airline flying by the way.

Dude, save yourself some time and don't. Most of the guys I know brought separate logs into the interview, mil & civ. No one at the interviews I went to said a thing about my logs. (I got hired, BTW) Only questions I got were "wow, what was it like to fly that airplane?" Only advantage to converting to LogTen would be if it allowed you to convert mil-speak to civ-speak ... but it doesn't. Each app uses slightly different methods to categorize the time (a-apps, p-cred, JB, etc). So you're going to have to prepare a decoder sheet to explain how you categorized your mil time into their app anyway. I do use LTP for all my civ time, and like the app. But jamming 2500+ mil sorties into LTP would have been a colossal waste of time.
