I used to have SkyLog Pro but it is a generation behind Pilots Pal. Also, Pilots Pal has an excellent conversion program that will accurately transfer all your SkyLog data into its own format. Pilots Pal does absolutely everything you could possibly want from a logbook program, looks great on screen and produces very posh logbook pages for your paper back-up. It is produced by a senior Training Captain at easyJet who gets loads of feedback and has actioned virtually every single thing ever asked for. He has also sold to many other pilots from other airlines who have asked for, and been given, various add-ons. Consequently it is the best around by a considerable margin. And by the way, I do not get royalties for this!

Hi to 'richatom', I remembered you started a thread on this subject about a month ago ... so thought I'd post my musings on this one again ...
For my money I would take a serious look at FlightLog Professional from Stratosoft. It seems this software has a very dedicated following, including me and some pretty nifty features when you get into it.
You can import from 'csv' files provided they are firstly formatted as required ... a bit of Excel macro knowledge could be useful here and there is a typical JAA format report/printout too.
As for technical support, I've been dealing with these people for a while now and for what questions I've had to ask, I've had them all answered within 24 hours ... guess that most likely puts them close to or at the top !
Great, free PDA/smartphone flight recorder too.
BTW I really don't understand the liking for web based logbooks. It worries me that ... what happens when your web based logbook goes to the wall ? OK so you had data backed up on your own PC but what good is that if the server based web application(s) are no longer there to process it ?
cheers

Pilots Pal (the British one) looks good but expensive IMO, especially as you only get upgrades for a year. For £64, I would want an assurance that I would get upgrades for life....
