In its simplest terms, a logbook is a book of record. Logbook tips before applying for a pilot job What is a Flight Logbook for?.How to correct or make any changes to an official flight Logbook?.Can I log PIC time as a student flying solo?.Paper or Digital App / Electronic Logbook?.I want to know what, where, who and how much I’ve flown when all is said and done.
This is the airline and the aircraft they’re retiring on and keeping up a log book isn’t worth the effort. Lastly most of the pilots I fly with now are done. Again it’s simply a key stroke and you’ve got it exactly. They all ask for how much flying have you done in the last 6 mos, year etc. Same when you go for a medical or apply to an airline. The program has an 8710 button you simply press and it prints one out completely filled in. One of the best features is every time you go for a checkride, type rating etc (even upgrade at the airlines) you need to fill out an FAA 8710 form which asks questions like how much night IMC single engine etc. I use LogBook Pro, it has a app on my cell which I can DL my flights, I simply fill in the actual times and when I’m done it sync’s with the master on my PC. I started early (actually doing both) and then went E-log only and it’s infinitely easier. Many want to transition when they move on to the airlines but to transfer the 1500 hrs + worth of data to the E-log is frankly a major pain in the butt. You see the reason many (most?) pilots still use paper is because they’ve used that for years.
This was advice I received early and it has served me very well. BUT, I encourage you (and anyone else listening) to start an electronic log book ASAP. It’s also probably easier during training because you’ll be receiving a bunch of endorsements (sign offs) for a variety of things (solos, ratings, checkrides) and many of the examiners are old school and want to see an actual signature. Chris is right and many (not sure if it’s most anymore?) pilots still use the traditional paper.
