My bro (Mesa CA) and I (Air Force) use CaptainsLog and its been great. Its one of the more inexpensive options out there, and you can customize the print layouts anyway you like, and log as little or as much as you want as far as breakdowns of times go. You can put in all your endorsments, names of crews, anything at all. It has an Auto-Night calcuation and stores your tail numbers and airfields which im sure all the others do. I printed out my CaptainsLog logbook and used that at my Eagle and SKW interviews and they were cool with it... but they still wanted to see the original logbooks from way back when with all the signatures in them even though i transcribed all that time into my electronic log.

Electronic is the way to go! By the way if you have a PDA you can build your own excel file, and log your times on the go, and then sync your PDA to your computer then import the Excel file into CaptainsLog. perfect for those multi-leg trips!

Is your bro JM?

nope, hes a CRJ CA out of ORD initials AA

Don't go making up regs! We have enough already! :)

I can't seem to 'put the numbers in twice' either (once in the little red book, and again in my log). That's why APDL and Logbook Pro are so sweet.

APDL on my Palm allows me to import all of my pairings, and synchs that with the Palm's calendar, so it puts my trips in my datebook, and functions as a 'live trip-key' during the trip. It really is very slick and worth the money (no, I don't work for them)!
