"Not too hard to add up the daily totals"

exactly, but I guess doing math is too hard for some people

I love all the random crap people like to feel superior about. It's not that math is "too hard for some people" we just realize there is a better, faster way to do it.

Not too hard to add up the daily totals FROM COMPANY RECORDS THAT LIST LEG BY LEG. Go read the very first post of this thread.
Sounds like he either needs leg by leg information that is long lost, or make a logbook conform to his non standard way of logging hours. I'm sure you all log instrument time too when your not even the pilot flying, something that the FAA would not agree with. But hell, with this current job market, doubt any LCC will care!

Please explain to the masses how the FAA would not agree with logging instrument time as nonflying pilot (in the Part 121 environment). I then encourage you to Google: Carpenter (1999)-Legal Interpretation. It would appear they disagree with your personal interpretation.

I love this implication that someone who makes an ordinary math error in a logbook is some kind of idiot who shouldn't be in a jet cockpit.

Ten years ago I converted all my GA and military logs into a digital logbook, and I was amazed with the number of errors I'd made over the years, as well as how many errors the USAF had made in tracking my time (in its own digital database) as well.

After all the effort I put into creating the digital log, and seeing all the previous errors I caught while auditing the records, I committed to ensuring the accuracy of the entries in the new log from then forward.

Well, a funny thing happened; every time I've performed a logbook audit, I've found some kind of error. Most of it completely minor, but errors none the less. All easily corrected, of course.

Guess I'm just a moron. Wish I could be more like some of you perfect folks.

Fellow morons unite. Same here, Hacker. The more time I spend checking it the more things I find to fix. I went electronic with MCC about 2 years ago. Great decision. Now just waiting to convert the database from the older PC version to the newer Mac one.

When I applied to my first airline I spent about two weeks going through my books trying to find out why my Day+night did NOT equal my total time.

I will say that as a product, logbook pro will do what you need it to.

HOWEVER, NC Software has some of the worst customer service and relations that I have ever seen.

I've been using a free excel template I downloaded a few years ago from www.excelpilotlogbook.com

Just checked back on the website and it looks like it's now a paid product, but is still a lot cheaper than the likes of Logten Pro etc.

I might think about buying the new version as the old one is a bit ugly... Has anyone used or is using the Excel Pilot Logbook?

Been over half a year, any new preferences/suggestions on this front? Looking into converting to electronic.
