Logbook question

[Talian]

I had been away from flying for awhile and have been considering trying to get on with a regional. My question is... my logbooks are in less than good condition, pages falling out, some whiteout marks etc... On top of all that my first logbook was lost right after I got my CFI 15 years ago. I got all my 8710s from the FAA to verify my experience up to that point. My main question is..should I get a new logbook and transpose eerything or just present them as they are.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I like Logbook Pro.

I like Logbook Pro.

I'll second that.

Do you recommend getting logbook pro and putting all my info in it?

Yes. It looks very professional. I already had 4000 hours by the time that I got logbook pro. It would take quite a while to go through and enter those hours. I ended up making an entry for each type of aircraft and entering those totals. I would still take the old ones to an interview as a backup though.

Thanks for the info...

I use Safelog, works very nice, zero complaints, highly recommended. Logbook as stated here seems to work well also, have only used the free test version. For me Safelog is a bit more intuitive. My advice use one of the two, any of the others suck, I have tried them. Or use an Excel based program.

Transfered over 6000 hrs to Safelog, completely ditched my old paper logbooks. Have been to a number of interviews all commented on how well they like they format.

Thanks again for all the info. I went ahead and got the logbook pro professional edition.
It seems like a daunting task to enter all the info but it sure looks professional and the graphs are really nice. Happy Flying
