Logbooks at the regionals?
 

Just curious as to what you use at the regionals to log your time. Does the company give you a little log book or are people still using the ones like the black jeppessen log books during flight training?

Thanks

I write all my stuff down in a little notebook I got from some office supply store. When i get home from a trip, I just write it into my permanent logbook. I used to use a Jeppessen mini crew-log thingy, but the little notebook has more paper for 1/4 of the price and I can put whatever I want in it.

There are small crew logbooks that you can get at pilot shops. Another option is ADPL, which is a program made by the guys that make Logbook Pro. You can sync that guy up to your sheduling program and Logbook Pro so you never have to do much beyond pushing a couple buttons.

I use the little blue book, put those times in Logbook pro about twice a month, and update my paper logbook once a month. I'm looking at smartphones so I can use ADPL and omit a step in this process.

Safelog - PC version at home and PDA version while flying, which I then download to PC when I get home. Don't waste my time with a paper log book.

Jeppesen Professional brown logbook. Log every single leg. PITA, but one big advantage.

It's ALWAYS up to date. I get called? I am ready with my logbooks. It's just part of the shutdown checklist for me and a habit I got into overseas under JARs when I worked there.

I am the only person in the US I have ever seen who does it, but why not?

cool... thanks for the info!

Really? I do that, if for no other reason than that's just what I've always done. I have a spreadsheet, and I make photocopies once in a while, but I'd say my brown Jeppesen one is my primary.

CrewLog is updated every leg...once every few weeks when I have some time to kill I whip out the trusty Jeppesen Logbook and update it. I make one entry for every day, with the actual legs flown jotted in the Remarks section, along with who I flew with and if anything memorable happened along the way LoL

Because like you said, its a pain in the A. Also chews up valuable time on a tight turn when you're hungry or when its time to go home. Its not like someones going to call you out of the blue and want to know your times are right at that exact moment.

Personally, during the trip I write the times, landings, night, instrument, tail numbers and approaches down on the print out of my pairing. Then about once a month I put them all in the big Jepp brown book. I use one line per day. Works just fine for me. After my girlfriend lost a spreadsheet of financial data I am still a little wary of electronic logbooks unless you feel like printing it out each time you update or have some other way to back it up routinely.

I keep a Jepp logbook and Logbook Pro. It automatically backs up onto a separate disc. Then about once a month I back that up to an online storage facility and on my USB drive.

If all four of those copies go, it's because God has a personal grudge against me.
