2006 Stats

I own and use LogTen Pro as my electronic flight log book. I was inspired to start using an electronic flight book when I had the nightmarish experience of not being able to find my logbook in late 2006. I did eventually find it, but in the team time I was freaking out that I’d lost very important records! Midway Aviators had a copy of all my pages up to my FAA check ride, so all would not have been lost, but I really woke up to the fact that I needed a backup of my log book.

I spent a lot of time with the offerings for the Mac and LogTen Pro is, by far, the best software available. It took me most of a day to transfer all of my information from my Jepp Pilot Logbook into LogTen Pro. Once it was in, though, I found out all kinds of useful information. For example, I hadn’t properly added columns together on some pages, or carried number forward to the next page properly on other pages. It took me most of another day to verify that I had entered the information into LogTen Pro correctly and that I had made numerous math errors and clerical errors in my paper log book.

Using the program makes easy work of keep track of my day and night currencies, and my medical. It also automatically calculates the distances between airports, so it’s easy for me to track my XC solo time toward IFR. All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend LogTen Pro.

Anyway, I made a quick smart group to sum up my 2006 flight statistics:
