Electronic Logbooks
You can use just about any database or spreadsheet program
and write your own program. A database program such as
Access allows the creation of a form for data entry and also
data retrieval in many ways. A spreadsheet may or may not
be as easy to setup.
You can log as many details as you wish, expanding on FAR
61.51 logbook requirements if you want to. You can include
aircraft serial numbers along with the registration number,
you can include passenger names. If you have a PDA, you can
enter data on the PDA and upload to your computer when you
get home/office.
Or you can Google for "free pilot logbook program" and get
about 1/3 of a million pages to look at, the first page has
many free program for FAA or JAR listed.
