![]() ![]() ![]() The heart of LogTen Pro is the Radar page with your total times. The two obviously can synchronize, but it’s not necessary, especially with the big-screen interface of an iPad. What we found impressive was that the iOS apps are almost as burly as the desktop version-better in some ways. LogTen Pro exists both as an iOS logbook and a desktop program for the Mac. Luckily, a few solutions distinguished themselves from the pack. We were shocked how many options there were for logging via an app, either as a standalone solution or paired with desktop versions. It’s simple, cheap and satisfying to use. But digital logbooks automatically back up, total your time for insurance, an 8710 or duty limits, and, if it’s on a mobile device, are always with you. (If you're Winderz desktop and Apple mobile, the nod probably goes to LogBook Pro in that one.There’s nothing wrong with a paper logbook. Pay LogBook Pro their ounce of flesh, and done deal. What'cha think? My take is, if you're an Apple person, and want an electronic logbook - pay Coradine their money and get 'er done. I think they're doing it pretty cheap, considering the realities! How many hours of coding would it take, and how many users at $100 a pop would it take to pay your salary and benefits every year selling logbook software in a "market" with two players, one who's locked up the Apple crowd and the other who's locked up the Windows crowd, plus they both have serious competition from a $5 notebook and a pen? (!) You said "Almost" because you know how much you'd have to work and charge to make it worth your time. Welcome to inflation that the powers-that-be say doesn't exist. Worked for me!Ī little perspective is in order though: You paid them less than the all-in operating costs of a Cessna 182 for less than one hour. Option B is to e-mail them what you just said and see what they'll do. If you do start to use LogTen in the future, you'll want to have all of this data already entered.and it's a lot easier to enter 6hrs than 50 or 100+ hours all at once, down the road.Ĭlick to expand.Heh. Be sure to properly log dual time, XC, simulated instrument, day/night landings, etc. ![]() You can still log all of your training flights even if your instructor is filling out your paper logbook.just copy the data in LogTenPro. Safelog does sound like an interesting option and I might take a look at that, but am pretty content with LogTenPro.ĮstorilM, I'd start logging everything right now as a student. Also, there are numerous options for exporting the data (tab delimited spreadsheets included). On one page, I can see days left on my medical, day/night currency, TAA time, and flights in past week/month/6/12months. I set up a field for "TAA" on each aircraft, and can enable "TAA" if I'm in a glass-panel plane to log the Technologically Advanced Aircraft time. That took maybe 5-6 hours, but now that it's done I'm pretty pleased with it. As I posted above, I wasn't looking forward to entering all of the information via the touchscreen, but I did suck it up and enter everything manually (only about 100 flights). Seems I bought LogTenPro last summer on my iPad and forgot I bought it as I never got into using it until now. ![]()
