E logbook and paper logbook interviews
I have been using LogTen and have transferred everything from my days as a student and instructor to the computer. if i should get a chance to interview someplace i would print it out and bind it nicely. my question is do i need to bring my paper logbooks with all my sign offs and instructor signatures?
I read someplace that a few guys just copied and scanned their endorsements is this a good practice?
anyone go through a fedex or swa interview with a e log only?

I would make sure the electronic books match the paper ones, and bring it all. You can try just offering up your e-book...maybe they will leave it at that. But better have the originals handy in case they ask.

I have both an electronic logbook and a paper log that ended in my second year of professional flying. I still take all of my logs- paper, hard copy electronic, AND electronic version in PDF format.

Create an email account such as hotmail or any other, make sure your messages are stored ON their server.
E-mail a copy of your e-log file (or backup thereof) to yourself - and leave it sit there. Do so periodically. If your drive crashes, house burns, dog eats it - whatever, all you have to do is open your most recent email, DL the file and restore it. A free, off-site backup system.
