Thanks for the input guys. For those of you who have taken it to Kinko's or Staples: Did you export into a .pdf format or something else? Did you do the typical two page setup or did you format it to fit to one page (8 X 14) or something similar? Would you buy the logbook binder from LogbookPro or was the binding done by Kinko/Staples? Thanks again.

 

I just had Kinko's spiral bound it and it looks really good. I designed a cover sheet and they just put a frosted plastic for the cover and a black piece of plastic for the back. I just used normal 8.5x11 paper that was green. You can have them cut down the paper so its more like a logbook but I think it looks fine like it is. I generated the report using the old world style report and saved it to a pdf. I also created a logbook summary page based off of logbook pro's analyzer that is on the second page.

 

Thank you so much. Appreciate all the help.

 

Sorry to disappoint, flying is just a paycheck, not my life. 9 years at Eagle and 16 at UAL tends to fill a logbook. My only advice is get on a motorcycle and ride away from any airport on days off.......wont need a logbook in the future, cause if ual tanks the last frickin job I would pursue is aviation.

Peace

 

This... It only costs about $8 to add pages every few months too.

 

Funny how a lot of people say that, then when the f bomb hits, magically the apps are back out to flying jobs.

Just bustin' your particular chops, though. Sounds like you have a good separation of flying from your personal life.

Question; for doing line-by-line logbook entries, do you all log by tenths or hundreths?

or example; flight time/block time is 45 minutes. Do you log .7 or .75?

 

Printed at FedEx Office (nee Kinko's), 8.5x11 paper, double sided so it opens like a regular Jepp style logbook. Had them drill it for...

The "Ledger Binder" which one can get at a good office supply store (they don't seem to know what one is at Office Max/Depot/Staples - at least didn't five years ago when I was asking). These are the types of binders used at banks and businesses for checks. Has a hard cover, looks sharp, and it's free to add pages to! Note they have them with ring binder style and pins. I personally like the pins much better - it gives the appearance of a bound volume.

I too received compliments on it everywhere I interviewed (regional, ACMI, and Emirates). As far as I can tell interviewers love the e-logs, I always have my originals, but no one has ever wanted to see them - even when offered.

Another suggestion for anyone who hasn't hear me say this before: Make scans of endorsements and check rides from you original and include them in the bound e-log, then email the e-log backup and the scans to a hotmail or other account and just let them sit there on the server (or store them on Google drive or some other free cloud). You now have offsite backup for your logs if (heaven forbid) for some reason you ever lose your originals.
