However, I maintain a paper logbook as an approved form that the CAA will accept for my licence applications (currently training). How do you get round this? Is your excel sheet recognised? Or is there no requirement, post training, to submit logbook hours to the CAA?

The last and only time the CAA wished to see my logbook was in 1998. I could have submitted it as an Excel spreadsheet then, but they weren't very computer literate at the time. There is no requirement to keep a paper logbook, simply a requirement to record your flying hours. How you do it is up to you.
