Most logbooks will import other logbooks fairly easy now or at least MCC does.

Been using log book pro for 8 years. I have it running on boot camp on my Mac Book Pro on a Windows 8 partition. That's all that runs over there. I believe it has the ability import directly from sabre. I have been using them for 9 years and have been very happy.

Thanks, it just seems like all the programs have compromises.
It really is a tough choice. I've been playing with Mcc Pilot Log and it looks good, maybe I'm just not that tech savvy but so far it's been a pain to configure.

I'll have to check out the free trial of Logbook pro

Hey man, PM me and we'll talk about your issues. I only started using mcclogbook two weeks ago and was able put over 2000 hours and 13 years of flying in there in one week, then spend the second week fine tuning/learning more about the program.

I don't much about the other programs, with one exception; they don't remotely offer the number of reports, currency trackers, or logbook printouts possible through the mccpilot program.

Also, it's usable on Mac, Android, iPhone, Windows, etc and it's ask that one time fee for the enterprise edition, which is WELL worth the investment.

I'm not calling you out, just honestly curious...what specifically can MCC do that LBR or LTP can't? Admittedly I didn't play with it a lot, but I did fool around with MCC for for a little bit and I didn't honestly see a reason to switch.

Sell me on it!

Also are there any good programs for tracking expenses on the road?

I've been using an excel spreadsheet that was designed for expense reports but surely there is a better option.

Back when I had a business my business AMEX card had a free function on the mobile app where you could take a picture of the receipt after making a purchase and it would automatically link it to the charge on the card. It was absolutely awesome for documenting expenses.

If you own apple, then from ALMOST everything I've heard ltp is great. The below is the exception. I don't own a single apple device, nor do I use software that's proprietary (I'm a tech guy, so I'm just not diem with that type of thing.)

The additional problem with LTP, and these aren't my words, but those of a female pilot in my company......

She said LTP was the best she had ever used, but between 2011-2014 they charged her over $400 for upgrades to their software, not to mention that the last charge came with a note that they were discontinuing support of all previous versions (that she had purchased 5 months prior) if the new purchase wasn't made.

They have over 300 airlines mcc is paired to, meaning you can download your scheduled pairings/schedule aka, it'll literally log your time for you.

So on your phone, when you're due to fly, it pulls up the appropriate notams, wx, etc for all the places I'm flying to/through.

Going through training? As soon as you've passed that check/qualification ride, have the ip/cfi/cfii sign your phone/digital log entry.

It also tracks per diem and other travel expenditures.

Reports as broad or specific as you want. Case in point of a search I did, just cause...all ME RW flights over 25NM on Tuesdays of odd months for 2012-2015 (obviously unnecessary, but to prove the power of the software, and I'm sure you could figure some search formats that would be beneficial.)

These are the reasons that I'm an mccpilot guy.

Tracking expenses? What expenses? You get M&IE for your food and van driver tips, and usually the company pays you less M&IE than the IRS allows ($63 per day this year flat rate) so you can get the difference back on your taxes (maybe), and the company provides everything else.

Other than uniforms for a new hire, and maybe a headset, what expenses do you plan to track?

Military flyers use it all the time on cross country trips. Our per diem works a little different. Aside from that, I have no idea how it works for civil aviators. Maybe if they're going cross country. I know it has fuel cost in there too

121 pilots pay for nothing on trips, for the most part (one exception is starting a trip somewhere besides your domicile, which my company doesn't do, but I know some do).

You non-rev to work for free, your hotels are free, your van rides are free, you get M&IE every hour you are out of domicile. You cannot claim lodging expenses, van tips, food, because it's all either paid for by the company, or covered by M&IE.
