You many want to check out http://www.logshare.com.

It's a free web-based logbook developed by Dan Checkoway (RV-7 builder)
that I use. The service will keep track of all the currency
requirements and send you an email reminder that your currency will
soon expire. You don't have to share your data but it's pretty cool to
see who else has flown the same tail numbers.

I started entering my old logbook data here (from 1978) and noticed that
I had not logged my solo time as also PIC time. I don't know if this is
simply due to an error on my or my instructor's part or if the regs
were different back then. Anyone know of a source for part 61 as it
existed in 1978? Does anyone know if this logging of PIC for student
pilot solo flight was authorized then?

There was a time where pre-license solo time could not be logged as PIC
time. The rule changed, retroactively. You can go back and enter your
pre-license solo time as PIC time.

I don't have a reference handy however.

Thanks, Jim. I think I looked at that page once and didn't see that
historical link.

And even when not in a hurry sometimes.

The funny part is that part 61 isn't listed in the historical section as
near as I can tell. The current section lists amendment 61-110, but the
only history I find is the NPRM related to sport pilots. I do not see
any other changes relative to logging of PIC for student solo flight.
