? regarding log books

[DrEvil]

I don't think it matters whether your logbook is maintained on a PC or a traditional paper logbook. If using a PC and your pages are printed AND signed, then what is the difference? You are signing that your log, in whatever form, is true and correct! As for the endorsement issue, yeah, in the back of your binder from your PC printouts should be a page of "real" endorsements to compliment the log, per regs.

You're right. It shouldn't. But different folks do business in different ways.

I try to rent when I'm on vacation. I don't particularly like dragging my logbook around so I usually just bring photocopies of the last couple of pages of my logbook to show passenger currency and my most recent FR.

Most places don't even look twice. But I've learned to call ahead to make sure.

One place, I even forgot the photocopies. In addition to (of course) a checkout, they only asked me to spend enough time with their CFI for him to sign me off for a new flight review, so that the operation new that I was legally current.

At another (a place I'm going to next week), they're insisting on the original logbook.

Heck, I didn't even think of that! As I'm a avid proponent of the e-Log, if you get your paper (book) log stolen, you're hosed. I can at least just hit the print button again, sign all pages, and be in there, nothing lost! And backups are easy, and even keeping a CD-RW off site!
