I just use foreflights. Though I have an excel document to really break down the various random flying I do (AMES, Gyro, etc)

with one or two exceptions part 61 talks about logging time to meet the requirements for certification or currency. Outside of that you can log whatever you want, how you want, or not at all.

I mean once you get to a certain point who cares how many hours you have in 201NN or how many times you been to SMF? Plenty of people log by the trip or month.

Admittedly, I still log leg by leg, but that’s just because my logbook makes it almost impossibly easy to do it that way.

For the couple of people who mentioned using an excel spreadsheet- most electronic logbooks will allow you to import data from an excel file into their logbook. I did that on mcpilotlog and it wokred perfectly. So while you decide which logbook to buy, an excel spreadsheet is a great temporary option.

Does anyone know how to log multiple approaches of one type on a flight on mccPILOTLOG using a PC?

It works when you import a flight from Excel. That's the only way that I've gotten it to work.

If you have the app on your phone, go into the settings menu from the Flights tab and you can add additional approaches to be logged for your flight.

Bump.....

I have been keeping an Excel backup of my paper logbook. I'm able to use macros to get all the info I'd ever need out of the sheet for applications. Should I still switch to an electronic logbook? Or, is paper and Excel fine at an interview? What helps get the job at the Majors?

Thanks!

I don't have any inside knowledge, but I have my doubts that a specific version of a logbook is what will get you hired at mainline, unless there were some glaring issues with it.
