Not only will hours and hours of your time be wasted if something happens to your logbook, but you will have nothing to show if you decide to apply for a new job. If your precious flight time is only stored in one flimsy paper logbook, you are putting yourself at risk of losing the entire record of your pilot career. You may be horrified to learn some of the stories of misfortune I’ve been told of logbook related disasters. One of the biggest reasons to choose an electronic logbook is the ability to keep secure backups of your data.

Tap one button and LogTen Pro will automatically use GPS data to determine your location, put the current time into the Out field, add your default aircraft and more.Īll this equals less time logging, and more time flying! LogTen Pro even has a feature called Fly Now. You have instant access to the answers to common questions about your flight time like total time by type, PIC time, night time, and total time in the last 12 months. With LogTen Pro, the leading logbook for iOS and Mac, this is all automatically taken care of for you. You won’t have to write out each airport and aircraft ID over and over, or pull out your calculator to add up totals or figure out if you’re within regulated flight, duty and rest limits. With an electronic logbook you’ll never have to dig around in your bag for a pen again. When you dreamed of a career flying, I’d bet that filling in line after line of a logbook by hand and checking and rechecking math was not part of the dream!

There are so many things to fit into the day, especially if you are a professional pilot.
