I use safelog and just print it out myself. Then I just take it to one of those business centers and have it bound.

I just wrote the name of the student I flew with in the remarks section. Never had a problem. I don't think their is anyway they could posiblt verify if you gave instruction 10 years ago on that specific flight. With all the free lancing flight instruction and the out of business FBO's they could never verify the validity of my log book. Has anyone actually had an airline go back to verify certain flights that were not check rides?

I started flying in the late seventies, and the validity of any type of logbook, pilot or otherwise was difficult to determine without some underlining documentation from somewhere. Pilot logbooks like any other logbook are filled out based on the honor system, it really doesn't become a question mark until a person has all this time in their logbooks, and have trouble doing something simple as holding the aircraft's heading, speed, and altitude while dealing with a component failure of some sort. A pilot's flying skills tells me more about their experience than their logbooks.

Logbook Pro, yes. How exactly did you do this? Are you actually printing out hard copies and bringing it to them, or are you saving it on a USB drive and bringing them the file?

For folks using printouts of electronic versions: How do you put yours together? Someone recommended going against the 3-ring binder route. Does getting it spiral bound seem to look the best? Do you get it printed on heavier weight paper?

Thanks for all of the input thus far.

LogBook Pro has an option to export to a PDF file. Just copy the file to a USB drive, email, or floppy (if you dare) and haul it on in to your favorite print shop. Last time I did it I just used the standard white paper as it's fairly high quality and spiral bound it with a nice clear plastic cover page.

For you Mac users I highly recommend LogTen Pro by coradine.com. It's pricey but blows LogBook Pro for Windows out of the water. For those that do have it, you can print to PDF by clicking on the PDF button on the Print screen. Pretty straight forward from there on out.

I got a cloth covered landscape binder and printed on heavy paper. As for those who say it does not look professional, I disagree. I have every type of column possible with detailed and legible comments. I even scanned in all my endorsements and certificates.

I got some checklists spiral bound and I think they came out really nice. I might try that with my logbook, but I really like my binder.

This topic has been beaten to death before, but whatever.

Here's what I use:

- LogTen Pro
- Old World Binder
- Blank Inserts for Old World Binders
- A laser printer that can collate.

Once I have a new page, I simply print that single page to PDF, head to Kinkos, print it off, and add it to the group. Haven't had an issue, and the results look great.

Thanks for the feedback. I decided to also go the Cirrus Elite route. Should be arriving middle of the week.
