Default Paper vs Electronic Logbook

Hello, i'm considering updating my logbook to go to UAL. Thinking about transferring it in to logten pro. I REAALLLLY don't want to go through the extreme pain of days and days worth of typing in log entries. However I will absolutely do it if it might help in a interview. Question is: Would electronic be worth the time and effort?

Any input would be appreciated

THANKS YA'LL!

I keep both. Yes, it is a chore, but you will probably be glad you did it once you do it. LOL

I bought LTP and just did a couple forwarding entries from my paper logbook into the electronic. Works good now, probably wont help because you want it for the interview though...

Importing your entire logbook into LogTenPro is a chore, but totally worth it. At first it goes slow, but you will get a system and it really starts to fly. I just brought logbooks with me on overnights and spent 30 min or so a day at the hotel.

I put all of my previous times on LogTen Pro as the first flight so all the times would be accurate going forward. When it comes time for an interview, or just to back up your electronic version, print the logbook from LogTen Pro. You can do date range reports on matching ledger paper in a similar format to what you use now. There are tons of options from Jeppesen formats to ASA to international.

You print them out and put them in leather bound binders you can get here:
