What is most popular where you fly?

How do you do it?

Advantages and disadvantages?

Your comments will be appreciated.

For about 10 years now I use a home-made Excel spreadsheet for logging. *I just transfer the flight times from the SeeYou statistics page into the spreadsheet in hours:minutes:seconds
Excel will nicely add up the YTD total and the grand total over many individual *sheets.
Short and local flight: just don't log them, except of course in your glider logbook.

I use hours and tenths, just because I keep track of stats in an Excel
spreadsheet, and it's too easy to mess up an hours/minutes entry.
Yes, you do lose some granularity.
