Other than that, it looks pretty clean. I went the pretty generic training route, so there isn't really much room for weird interpretation of my time.

At that point you just want to make sure you can clearly document the aeronautical experience required for the ATP.

He would not disclose whether it was the accumulation of hours or presentation of the logbooks that goes into the grade.

I used MilKeep to convert mine and everything matches and adds up as it should so I'm not concerned with that side of the logbook prep, but I'm unsure what avenue to take with printing & binding options. I

Looking for suggestions for digital logbook users, and specifically Milkeep users.

it’s been along while… but as a military pilot with less than 14 hours civilian time I went the simple route during my interview with Delta and United… Had a binder with my HARM flying hour summary page(s), the annual breakdown printout from HARM each year during my records review, and my FEF folder. When the pilot interviewers asked for my logbooks I gave them both the binder and asked if he wanted to see the annual summary folder or FEF… they both asked if I had any civilian time and I said 14 hours give/take during flight screening in college… said no thanks for reviewing the summaries or FEF and we moved on each time. Bottom line, I don’t think you need to convert anything… when you transcribe you make errors… and errors causes unnecessary scrutiny. Ask the hiring department you’re working with if they’d be satisfied with your military flight hour summaries/printouts. If you flew civilian on the side then bring a logbook that only addresses/lists those flight activities and sign/offs… nothing more nothing less. Good luck!
