I use an Excel spreadsheet highly modified from the way it came to me from
this group. I added things like 'conditional formatting to show yellow
cells if not longer night or IFR current, approaches, etc. Another tab
summarizes time in type, another for W&B, another for Angel flights you get
the point.

A spreadsheet you can control (read modify) is great, as it can be modified
to suit your use, not the features another person (perhaps non-flying)
thought you needed.

As for logging, I prefer logging trips as one line. I have no desire to
fill up a book for sake of filling it. I had a trip last week from my home
base and back with 3 side trips and one weather diversion. Lots of airport
id's, day & night landing but one line.

Thx, {|;-)
