Just getting back into flying and want to keep my log electronically. I
know that I can do it on a spreadsheet, but am interested in what (if
anything) others are using.

I have no intention of flying commercially, ME, or in actual IFR (but will
get the rating), but do want to track taildragger and ASES time.

I'm looking for specific pluses and minuses on the programs.

TIA - Don

Safelog is better.

I tried out Logbook Pro and found it 'over the top' for the average
private pilot.
I'm now using ForPilots Logbook (look on Google). You can choose which
fields that you want to activate and forget about the rest. Also allows
you to display some really cool graphs once you have all your stuff entered.
Best of all, it's shareware - you can use it for free for ever if the
nag screen does not irritate the hell out of you. I think its about
$US26 if you do choose to pay the fee.

I use an Excel spreadsheet to back up my paper logbook. It makes it
very easy to customize it any way that I want. I can easily get any
total that I might need.

SafeLog - Easy to use, inexpensive, filters data pretty much any way you
want.

Just like Logbook Pro and every other logbook I've seen.

Same as Logbook Pro. Logbook Pro also will sync with your PDA and allow
you to have your logbook numbers like currency, total hours, last
30/60/90 etc.

I'm using Captain's Keeper. Only a desireable choice if you are a palm
user. Since I have a Treo/palm phone/organizer, it's great.

Seems to be built for commercial use but fine for private.... only if you
are a Palm user.
