Logbook pro is the bomb!! It really does keep you up to date with your currency, medical, etc. Great features to find any type of item that you would want to pull up ie: complex time vs. High performance. My friend uses the palm version and he likes it. He sometimes has issues on how his airline does the computing of his time and the way it comes up on his logbook. I recommend it but yes you do have to keep up with it otherwise it defeats the purpose.

 

[quote=freezingflyboy;91563] If it doesn't add up, then it raises ALL kinds of flags from did this guy fudge his numbers to how much attention does this guy pay to details.

Of course, the other suspicion of a "perfect" logbook is that the candidate conjured up the numbers. Big errors are questionable. Small errors are human. It's not the errors that will get you into trouble, but how you explain them away. My logbook has been 1.1 off for years and years. I still have no idea where it went. But I've stopped caring. No one is going to bust an interview because of that. If they give you the "You're not detail oriented, are you?" question, be cool. Just say that you try to be, but at this time, you have been unable to find the mistake, and that you will continue to try and find it if it's important. This is not the question to make your face turn red and get myopic. Worry about worse things than this.

Do make a note in the logbook at your interview. Maybe a Post-it note saying, "The discrepency is ____. The problem may be_______, etc. I have tried to reconcile the problem, but an unable." That way the person inspecting the books is aware of the problem, knows that you are aware of the problem, and are not trying to hide anything.

 

i use log book pro and i LOVE it!!

i use it to enter EVERYTHING and you just cant beat the ease and flexibility that it offers (wow, i sound like a commercial for it..).

i maintain ONE written log book for my training ONLY that has every sign off and training event with a CFI since i did my private, then i use log book pro to track EVERY SINGLE FLIGHT...

i did a complete audit this past weekend...ouch, but solved EVERY error (1.1 here, .5 there) and now it is perfect...but wow, was it painful..

if anyone has questions on logbook-pro, feel free to PM me....but i have been using it for a while, and it rocks!!!

see ya!

 

I have a good friend who lost his log book about 30 years ago during a move. He was flying for a big corporate outfit when it happened. He interviewed and was hired at NY air in 81 without his logbook and was a CA with them 7 weeks after he completed (FO) training. Needless to say he was a CA at CAL since 87 and now flies the 777.

His next big logbook feat: applying to Singapore Airlines without a logbook. We'll see how that goes!
