I copied and pasted the Landing column to a new column on the excel file and called it Pilot Flying. In another added column called “actual IMC” I took a very conservative estimate of actual IMC for each leg. It is probably not 100% accurate but I know it definitely underestimated my actual IMC. Then, in a final column I added an ILS, RNAV, or Visual approach for each PF LEG based on destinations and a WAG. For example, I usually fly the RNAV in KSAN because there’s no ILS. That’s about the best I could do to get some history back.

I never should have stopped logging time. I stopped logging time when some CA told me it was a waste of time because I was “furlough-proof” after 4 years. Ha ha!!!

I know...Why did I stop! I guess I was being cheap and didn't want to pay Log10Pro for a yearly subscription. Now its costing me 3 months of my life. LOL

Has anyone purchased the Crew Companion logbook add-on? The $25/yr? Will it let you download a PDF of your flights, etc? Worth it?

Maybe, maybe not.

It only captures as far back as you have used CC.

You should be able to get a full spreadsheet from your flight office or PSC. If they give you any grief over the request remind them they did this for the last two cycles of furloughs even if they don’t normally advertise the ability.

I have paid, it is what I use… I believe it only lets you export .csv and .xls (not sure) it’s been a few months since I’ve flown.

Export the .CSV then copy and paste into excel Is my routine.

for me it’s worth it because Crew companion logbook had a few small things that the CCS export did not have when I was looking.

What things did it have over CCS?

When you say CCS export, is that the flight hours found under Qualifications?

thanks

Yes By CCS export I meant flight hours found in the qualifications. which has:
Flight #
fleet
seat
tail
depart airport
depart date
arrive airport
arrive date
flight hours
landing


crew companion logbook Has:
trip date
trip name (trip ID)
tail number (3 digit)
flight time
aircraft
pilot role
flight date
flight number
deadhead (y/n)
arrival airport
depart airport
out time
in time
total time
pic time
sic time
landings
takeoffs.


the things crew companion has that I wanted was out/in times, and trip ID

the crew companion logbook takeoff/landing data seems flawed. I think it assumes Ca gets the first leg and swap from there. The CCS log logs takeoffs and landings correctly as recorded in the UA computer system
