1. & 2. IF every flight defaults your entire flight time to actual instrument time... Preferences -> Time -> under "Actual Inst" unclick "Auto fill from total time". If you can't remember what the actual time or the approach was... you might want to start "to remember" and fill in accordingly. Keep in mind that an IAP should have actual time and a logged landing. We can argue this, but that is my preference. You might want to start logging these in your L10 or your red book in the blank cells. Your end game here is to be able to fill in the "Number of IAPs within # months" accurately.

3. Start with whatever past months Flica still has... good luck getting anyone on the phone at YV (personal experience).

4. I used a 3rd party that ill pm you. They imported almost 8 years of my logbook entries, pointed out some errors, and I kept my written logs with me the entire time. There were some additional errors that were written in my logbook that imported into the software (garbage in, garbage out) but what can you do.



Would you mind shooting me a PM also. I'm going to make the switch to electronic soon, and wouldn't mind having a second pair of eyes to catch mistakes. Not to mention the amount of time it would take to move everything over from paper to electronic.

I'm leaving Logbook Pro because I haven't used a PC in years and when I buy another Apple computer I'm not going to buy another copy of Windows and partition my drive again for just 1 program.

I think I've narrowed it down to 2 contenders-- LogTen Pro X and mccPILOTLOG.


A couple of questions for those in the know.

1) Can you access your entire logbook on your iPhone with either of these products.

2) is LogTen worth the price? It's so pricey I feel like maybe I should just look at Foreflight and buy their product and then I'd have a logbook AND all the aviation charts I'd ever need (for those few days a year I rent a Cessna).

I like the idea of mccPILOTLOG being available on any platform and the price seems very reasonable. Any complaints or issues I should know about them going in?

I tried getting into mccPilotlog but gave up because it was all very complicated. I have no idea of what 90% of the options were. I just wanted to log a damn flight, not go through 500 options. Maybe it is better for Regional pilots. I am sure there are some great features, but seems like a very high learning curve.

I have used MCC for the last few years. You can view any part of the logbook on that you download to your iPhone. You have the option as what to download to the phone (i.e. by company or entire logbook) You can download MCC for free and try it. You will only need to pay for it if you want it to sync between devices. I never thought that the program was that hard to figure out, but, as stated, it does take a small learning curve. They have a great customer service group that can help with any problems. Just remember, they are on the other side of the globe.

I second that on mcc pilotlog. I just wanted to enter my flights, darn near impossible. But maybe I'm just an idiot. I sure as heck couldn't figure it out though.

I use LogTen Pro X on mac, iPad, and iPhone. Being that this is the only electronic logbook that I use I find it very easy and does what I need it to do. It syncs in iCloud or over wifi. Haven't flown complex airplanes so couldn't tell you on that but you can configure pretty much anything you want so I'm assuming it shouldn't be any different. Overall I'm pleased with it but maybe cause I don't know any better? [emoji23]

I would say Logten Pro is with the $$. I've been using it and had no regrets. You can also customize the app to best suit the type of operation you're flying.
