![]() ![]() ***Note: I got the 1” binder, and it is basically too small already. It was about $37 with UPS ground ($11), which is the cheapest way to ship with this company. The binder I liked best (well, really I liked the Cirrus binders through LBPro, but those cost $130:LBPro now advertises one for about $70) was this one: I don't have a binding machine, and don't want to pay for one. They told me if I had a binding machine it WAS practical to add or subtract pages. The employees at several stores told me the binding WOULD break after a while, because a comb binding is designed to be a permanent binding. If you use a comb binder, you can add pages, but it's difficult. The difficult part is finding a ring binder that is in landscape format, with the holes punched in the short edge of the paper. I recommend, like many of the other posters have, that you use a ring binder, so that it looks nice, and it's easy to add more pages as you get more experience. Since it's landscape, most binders will not work. Think about how a paper logbook looks (if you have one, or if you remember when everyone carried around paper logbooks). ![]() One entry will take up a line on two standard sheets of 11”x8.5” paper. The LBPro software will format your digital information to be printed basically into a landscape (the page is wider than it is long) format. I didn't want to spend a lot, and it didn't seem that complicated to do it myself. I believe this process could be completed in one or two days. If this process seems to complicated, LBPro will do all the work for you of printing and binding your logbook. I thought I could pick up a binder at Office Depot (or somewhere else), take it to FedExKinko's with my logbook report on my usb drive, have them print it, punch holes, and I'd be all done. ![]() Some of the info was helpful, but there was a lot that wasn't, or was bad info for me. I consolidated all the info into one file. I spent several hours searching the web for help with printing/binding my LogBookPro. I want to give a big thank-you to those who send in suggestions.Note: Some of this info is mine, and some is from various posts, or from the LBPro website. If you have any iPad/iPhone/Android apps you think I should review in the upcoming months, please pass them along to me here. Safelog Pilot Logbook ($39.99): This app is chockablock full of features, including flight logging FAA currency tracking data on thousands of built-in aircraft types a live updated database of more than 70,000 airports exportable data customizable fields and the ability to store flight photos, journals, comments, and notes.It also offers a student/instructor link. Zululog (free): This app, also available on Google Play, handles data analysis and charting, data import, pilot currency, previous flight times, and custom fields.It also handles statistics, currency tracking, and social media sharing. It can then be viewed on a Google Maps overlay through the Web page or downloaded in various formats, including CSV and KML files. MyFlightbook (free): This online logbook uses the GPS on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device to log the telemetry for upload after you close out your flight.And a nice feature is that the app can be linked to a Dropbox account, which allows data to stay in sync over the air and creates a continuous back-up of the logbook. Pilot Pro ($39.99): This app, which works on the iPhone and iPad, offers what it calls a rich logbook experience by offering users a summary of flight times that can be analyzed with an interactive graph.It also allows users to sync flight data between devices easily. One user called it pricey, but said it pays for itself in the time you save when you need to figure out anything from currency to filling out an 8710 form. LogTen Pro Pilot, iPhone and iPad ($29.99 to $79.99): Users can enter flight data track currency, duty, rest, certificates, and endorsements and create reports.Member Andrew Christie asked for logbook recommendations, so this week I look at five suggestions from the group.
