Well I currently use a Jeppesen Logbook - Even though I have never had an american licence or been to america.

I was under the old CAA system and used this logbook because I needed the column breakdown due to training for commercial. I use a separate logbook for Microlights.

About a year ago my flight bag and both my log books were stolen...now its all OK I got absolutely everything back - but it made me change radically.

I started a computer logbook.

I tried one or two - they were all crap.

However.....Jeppessen FliteLog - Superb - add as many columns as I want....now I *seriously* break down my flight time...formation/tailwheel/display/instrument/instructing - all really broken down - I can answer any question quickly without problem....if I print it in landscape it is 6 A4 pages wide

My Jeppessen electronic is now my *master* logbook. All entries are made on here first (i can change them if I find errors). About 7 days later I then amend my paper logbook - this means that I have a paper record that can be annotated by instructors/examiners as necessary - and is easy to show to people, but for knowing what hours I have flown (last 28 days, last 12 months, per a/c type etc - since my last medical) it is now a simple 5 second filter on the electronic version.....

Best of both worlds & I didnt have to spend ages pratting about with access or excel...and more to the point - its already tested.

Regards
FF
