Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good online log book please? I've been playing with a demo version of Skylog and although reasonable, it looks a dated now.
Ideally what I'm looking for is something that lives online (in the cloud?) such that I can update my log on my ipad on the airfield and then have that synch with a copy on my home pc. Does such an animal exist as an App etc?
Thanks in anticipation.
Paul.

Not sure why you need it online? Why not just on the iPad then sync when you get home.
I do mine in Excel - not sure if there's an equivalent to that for the iPad, but presumably there is. Works a treat on my laptop.

I do mine in Excel and sync through Dropbox. Works a treat!
There is a free one on http:\\ukga.com useful as a backup to hard copy.

It just occurred to me - would be dead easy to set up an Excel spreadsheet logbook on Google Docs.

UKGA has an on-line log book that backs up (and downloads) as .csv thereby importing straight to various spreadsheets.
Free = works for me!

If you are wanting to initially log on your iPhone or iPad after a flight and then later up load to PC I would recommend MCC Pilot Log. I have been using it for both professional and private flying for over a year now and find it very good.
Buying the enterprise version gives you access to an online sever to save your logbook to, aswell as having it available on your phone or iPad. Cost me around 500 norwrgian (ca. 40GBP) with no further subscription fee´s.
It was great for me as I had a PC at home and all other logbooks for iPhone only worked along side a Mac. Since then I have switched to Mac and use a program called Parallels to run windows in the background, allowing me to continue with MCC.
Have a google and you can download a trial version for free.
