I just finished inputing all my civilian flight time into Logbook Pro and am now considering putting in my military flight time. While using paper, I kept my civilian and military logbooks separate. Should I upgrade to the Enterprise Edition of Logbook Pro so I can continue to keep the two logbooks exclusive of each other or should I combine everything into one data file/logbook?

Just curious what other guys who have used electronic logbooks for interviews have done in the past.

Thanks
 
I would keep them separate. Airlines take military flight records virtually as gospel. Anything in a civilian log book gets much closer scrutiny. It's easier to fake.
 
I used a computer one and a paper logbook for both. Makes getting all the numbers easier. I took a print out of the computer numbers plus my paper logbook and the military print outs. I like the computer one because it gives a sanity check for my calulations and you can sort all kinds of times, etc... it is ust a pian to go back and type all the flights in
 
I combined my logbooks mil/civ into regular LogbookPro and it works great. I also geeked out and got the leather log/binder and the paper to go in it. It came out really nice! Going to an interview, though, I'd be sure to bring the originals and an AFORMS printout as backup. Good luck.

Later.
 
Do you have nothing better to do with your time than endless data entry? Your military flight records are perfectly sufficient for your interviews, and that's all 99% of us ever showed up with. One thing I did do was to produce a 1-page spreadsheet summarizing all of my military time, which allows you to tweak everything using the particular military time conversion for that airline. They can easily verify the raw times through your AFORMS, and see exactly how you came up with the numbers on your application.

Just my two cents, but I just don't think it's worth it.
 
Thanks for the inputs. UALjan15, I am happy to not input my mil time if it is not a big deal....the civil time I just wanted to go ahead and input now before the book grew too big.
