Default Preferred LogTen Pro Logbook format

Those of you who use the app know that one of the benefits is that you can choose to format your logbook with name brand logbook formats (ASA, Jepps, etc). Additionally, you can select from fully-customizable and international options, like the Coradine Internetional or Coradine Dynamic. I’m curious to see if any formats have had repeatable success at an interview with SWA?

Thanks and fly safe

Used the Jepp 27 line format and had it printed at Kinkos and put it in a Logbook Solutions binder. Got a lot of compliments at the interview. YMMV

Their stuff looks awesome, thanks for the tip. Was it price that made you choose to go to Kinkos over relying on Logbook Solutions to do the whole thing? The LS cost of $0.20 per page doesn’t seem that unreasonable. Did they sell you the binder separately?

PS that Jepp format is one of my favs. Did they ask about any data fields that weren’t included, such as a general “turbine” column? Reason I ask is I have a few thousand hours of turboprop time that will not show up in the “jet” column of the Jepp Pro 27 format, and won’t be classified as anything other than TT, AMEL, PIC/SIC etc

I did kinkos so I could veto something and refuse to pay if it didn’t lol that way I wanted. Can’t remember how much I ended up paying. Bought the binder separately.

They didn’t care that I didn’t have “complex” or “HP” time showing. Email the guys at Coradine and they can help you tweak it to fit what you want...like change jet to turbine or whatever.

Was just hired, interviewed early December. I also used LogTen for my civilian time. And had a spreadsheet and tabbed logbooks for my Mil time.

I’ll be honest of the 30 or so minutes I spent with the Retired CAPT doing the logbook review we spent MAYBE 5 min verifying it and the rest of the time talking. (Ie tell me about your career, TMAAT)

Excellent.

I've spent the last month or so getting everything into LBTP and ran the first output. Very happy with how everything looks, but there seem to be some ongoing problems with the latest version. Not sure if I will continue with it if/when I get hired.

Default Log Ten Pro

I use Log Ten Pro as well. I forget the exact format I used for printing out my logbook, but I also added the Pilot Credentials Summary page. I also used Kinkos to print it out. I printed out two copies and had the appropriate information tabbed and highlighted in both copies so I could follow along with him. I also brought my iPad which came in handy when he asked for a couple of time that wasn’t in the paperwork that they sent out (forget what the times were since my interview was over a year ago). I was able to quickly search and get the number he needed. I still use Log Ten Pro and fill it out as part of my preflight and post flight flow. Good luck on the interview!!

Same. He told me we were done and had to BS for the next 20 min or he’d get yelled at for cutting me loose so early.
