Everyone,

I got this idea from Pilot41.

I was reading the thread about an excel logbook and I started looking online because I wanted to have an electronic logbook as a backup where I could easily keep all my hours logged and have the totals added for me worry free as well as be able to recieve yearly/monthly averages. Another perk is that every so often you could burn the document onto a disk and keep it in a safe place as a backup.

This is a very rough copy and it took me only about 30 minutes to complete the numbers and times and everything in there is purely factual to test the columns
here are some of the features

It adds up all of your totals for you and then adds the column totals and the brought forward totals to tell you your comulative total to date

It gives you plenty of space to type what you need but when you print it, it fits the whole document to one page to simplify things

It has columns for most everything I can think of for the professional pilot

It is not intended for every pilot but is easily modified..ie substitute complex or high performance which is not really needed for turbine , >12,000, FE, etc or those columns can just be added

My intention with this posting is for you all to take a look at it for those who care and are excel savvy and make your changes or edits to improve it and let others know what you did. Hopefully after a few changes and modifications we will all (those who want it) have a good working excel logbook that cost nothing but a few minutes of our time

A few things that I will work on...is find a way to make the font a little easier to read when you print it out, when it shrinks it to one page for printing the font gets fairly small, but a good downfall I feel for being able to keep it one page.

Also I will add ways to average monthly totals and yearly totals by category and class etc

I will also add more pages and have the feature of brought forward automatic from page to page so you will not have to enter anything in the totals columns. I have no current need to add more pages but I will in the future if I get more time.
