SKYLOG PRO
You can order it from Transair or from:
www.skylogservices.co.uk
its also recognised by CAA/JAR/FAA. I used to use the old paper logbook but, due to lazyness and the fact my typing is so much better than my handwriting i switched to SKYLOG PRO. Its about £60.Well worth it.
Hey, all this advertising I should be on commission

I used to do the same until I had a hard disk crash. Thankfully I'd kept a parallel log book.
Suggest you maintain a parallel paper log book until you become a captain, some sod somewhere will always want to see your log book/s whenever you're upgrading.

I'm in the process of developing my own system which will allow me to enter flight details, it will then produce reports for total lfight time etc. It will eventually do everything that SkyLog will do, and perhaps more, however the beauty of SkyLog is that it is recognised by the CAA as official documentation (or so it says on the product). If you are any goof with Excel or Access for example, try keeping a log that way if you are not interested in producing lovely looking reports - that way it is still an electronic backup.

If you loose your log book or it is destroyed what happens to all your ratings and hour? Are you back to square one again as there is no record then of what you have done. The testers (ATO's) of course will have your ratings on file but what about your hours?

Well I've tried to use Pilots Pal but it's fraught with problems (it seems, according to the developer, only for me). The support is excellent though, but I'd rather have it work with no glitches than constantly upgrading and contacting support.
I'd appreciate a good recommend too. Does Skylog work OK with Pocket PC?
Thanks for your help

Can anyone comment on how the web-based system offered at www.pilotlog.co.uk compares with Skylog Pro, apart from the obvious difference that pilotlog is web-based?
Thanks

I have been using ********* for over a year now and like you, had some glitches at the beginning but as you say the excellent support got me through it. When it's finally running it IS an ace piece of kit!

Or you could save yourself the money and make up an Excel document which holds the same page format as your favourite paper log book. Setting it up to do the basic sums for you is pretty easy, - though if you want to know how many night hours you flew in King Airs in 1998 you will have to be a bit more creative!
But the old paper log book didn't do that too well either.
