Anyone use logbook pro ? thinking of using it on my pda as well as my
pc.
Anyone use it on their pda? how do you like it


The timing of your post in interesting. I actually bought and downloaded
Logbook Pro yesterday morning, and entered 520 flight hours worth of data,
by last night. I like the functionality, particularly the reporting and
currency capabilities. I also like the capabilities of setting up "Custom"
fields, and them being able to incorporate those fields into currency calcs,
etc.... The program seems to be very comprehensive IMHO.

I was actually just about ready to build an access database app, when I
found Logbook Pro. I have heard several complain about the price of these
applications (electronic logbooks), but at ~$70...why waste time
"re-inventing the wheel". The pda capabilities are a nice, but I will
likely not use them anytime soon...

I have always kept copies of my logs in a safe deposit
box...usually...updated once per year. This weekend I was contemplating
doing the same again, when I realized there was about 250 hours and an
instrument rating logged since the last time I made copies. (I saw visions
of my beagle snacking on my log books) Having an electronic log seems like
a great way to protect a significant investment.
