You will thank yourself later for starting an electronic logbook now rather than forgoing it or trying to figure it out later! Also if you ever plan on applying for an airline or corporate type job it makes filling out the applications with the tedious detailed flight time questions they ask a breeze. It makes it extremely easy to keep track of totals and currencies and watch for errors. Most of the logbook softwares available will have a way to turn it into a PDF/printable logbook form (from a variety of different logbook forms, mine printed looks like the Jepp Pro Pilot Logbook format) and then there are many print/bind logbook services and options or just as someone mentioned off to your local stapes and they can print and bind it.Įven if you want to keep a hand written paper logbook, PLEASE do yourself a favor and keep an electronic one from day one as well.
I have the Prosoft Binders one for my digital print out as it makes it very easy to print and add the pages into my 'paper' one as they fill up myself.
you can then print it out to keep a bound version as well. Now i keep fully digital (I personally use log ten pro-x) you can sign digitally for endorsements and it will print logbook entries with CFI signatures etc. I used the Jeppesen pro-pilot logbook when i still kept a paper handwritten logbook.
