Would you mind expounding on what you mean by "import routine?" Do you mean for paper or electronic logbook?

Thanks

Thanks for the advice.

You get a print out too if you use prodiem or ezperdiem at the end of the year.

I switched to electronic logbook in the years trying to escape the regionals, Logbook Pro specifically. It made the constant application updates much easier and eliminated math errors. As far as my import routine, I start by exporting the Pilot Activity Statement and opening it in Excel. I then delete the rows that don't include flight segments, including pay summaries, deadheads, etc. I save what is left as a text file (tab delimited), which I can then import into Logbook Pro using the Import Wizard. The first time doing that you need to tell the program which columns of information are what, but you can save those settings so that future imports go quicker. I usually do this monthly after the mid-month paycheck. I imagine it could work similarly with LogTen, etc.

After figuring that process out, I added an extra step where I first copy the PAS info into a spreadsheet I designed to convert ship numbers into N-numbers. That's really getting into the weeds though and I wouldn't have bothered if I hadn't already figured it out for logging time at my last job. A much simpler method would be to log the Delta ship number and save the aircraft list mentioned earlier as a decoder ring.

You rock! I'm a long time LBP user so I appreciate the quick tutorial. I'll be sure to try it out.

I didn't start out thinking I wouldn't keep track of every tenth of an hour I flew, but now, I intend never to touch my logbook again. I'll guess at it.

And one day when I buy my dream plane... a Cessna 172N... I still won't log anything. Just got burned out on it.

please someone that does this with log ten pro come in and tell us how :D

If you don't care about tail numbers you can just go to the personnel tab on our intra company site to get your block hours by type and seat. I do that twice a year and throw it in. Much less hassle unless you're worried about all the minor details.

Any idea when the next AE will be?

Sometime in February...
