Yeah, I remember that little Smokey Calendar....  it's the one that had no WHITE of the PAGES showing, because you had so many FIRES written in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!                  

I'm sure glad you WORK for a living, because then people like you make up for people like me!!!  Tee hee!!!

HA HA (just trying to cheer myself up....)

I spent 10 of the hours I was in the pensacola airport the other day to work on my logbook.  Had flights in my paper logs not in the electronic yet (flights in the middle actually, before I started using the logbook but hadn't gotten to yet by adding from the beginning) and many flights in the electronic not in the paper (had to start the new book as well).  I finally got it all together and then had to find out why they disagreed.  Between finding misplaced decimals in the electronic and bad math on my part in the paper it was "fun." 

On the other hand it feels good that they are updated.  I don't ever want to let them get behind again though!   Spending a full working day just on logbook stuff gets old pretty darn quick.

A quick question off the main subject:  How do you like LogbookPro??  I need to get modern, and don't know which way to go.
Thanks!!

Just wanted to apologize for not getting back to you sooner.  I have been running around like a chi... uhm... wait... better not use that one on here     

Anyway, I liike LogbookPro quite a bit!  It's got great functionality for printing out currency reporting, hour breakdowns, and customized reporting capacity.  It also has great features like the Route Browser which can scan your logbook entries and plot your routes you've flown, and also can syncronize with a Palm Pilot or PocketPC.  The pro version has a feature option that can let you load an applet on your Palm OS or PocketPC device to record log entries while out and about.  Then you can simply plug in your handheld device, run your Sync program (HotSync for Palm, ActiveSync for PocketPC) and your logbook entries from the handheld are pulled into your pc and things get updated automatically.   It also lets me keep tabs of things like medical and bfr checks, etc.  Well worth the price!  And if you need support, they are very responsive.

Hope this helps... and sorry about the delay in getting back to you.

Thank you so much -- I know what you mean about time flying by.

I appreciate the info on this.  I need to get caught up!  Currently I keep my insurance forms the most current, and then build on those, using a pretty messy system.  It works, but not well!  Heh heh.   

It sounds like the tracking currency stuff would be a piece of cake using a sytem like this.  Thanks much!!!!!!

It makes it real easy.  You can view currency stuff on the bottom of the screen as you work on the logbook.  The problem is you actually have to be keeping it up to date for it to work. 

After the time it was to catch mine up, I'm going to do my best to keep mine updated now... 


You can also program other currency items such as medicals, BFRs (IIRC) etc.  IIRC you can get alerts as you approach the limit as well.
