Log Ten Pro all the way. Truly the best out there if you are an Apple person.

To input or not to input
 

Hello,
as I'm making my first real logbook (via mcclogbook software), I was wondering about a few entries. I'm a military pilot (and instructor) currently instructing RW down at Rucker, AL.

1) I'll have some entries that I will not be disclosing the names of the other crew on due to the nature of the mission.

2) I have students that I will not be disclosing the name of as they are Foreign Military Exchange students and we typically keep those names close hold within the training.

Can anyone see an issue with those situations? Listing "Classified" for situation 1 or "Student 1/ Student 2" accordingly for the 2nd scenario?

If you print out a normal type of logbook, I don't believe any of that info is there. The inputs within the logbook are there for your personal book keeping.

I used an excel template I found online which is pretty nifty. It just doesn't have all the columns I'd like but I'm sure there are wizards out there that can make one even better.

It does not print the names unless you specify for it to. Go to the logbook tab, then go down to logbook format. Pick the logbook that you want your printout to look like then preview a page. To add names, you would have to go to logbook columns and click next to names of other pilots to print the names in the logbook.

Thank you both for the input. I appreciate it. I am glad for this as I didn't want to come off looking like a hoity toity "look at my secret flights" guy. I also didn't want to get my ass handed to me when some prior staff guy is interviewing me and happens to see something that shouldn't be there.

I'm not an apple person but I'll still agree with this. It's a great logbook with loads of features. Regardless, a big annual fee really stings a little bit.

+1 on this. LogTen Pro is definitely the best purchase I've made in my flying career.

Had LogtenPro. Now have MccPilotlog. Much prefer the Mccpilotlog.

I'm with you on using Excel. Mine has everything I have ever seen in one of the expensive ]logbooks, plus I have a sheet to calculate my per diem automatically.
