Default Logbook replacement

With the demise of Aeroplanner has anyone found a good replacement for their logbook? Fltplan and others want to do the "automatic" entry. I still want to do it the old fashion way and have available my yearly and 90 day data readily available.

Have been using For Pilot's Logbook (http://www.forpilots.com/) for years. Currently running on W7x64 with no issues. It can import / export CSV files.

Default Logbook

I switched to myflightbook.com, they had an import tool that was easy to use and bring in all my logs from aeroplanner. Only hard part was you have to add all the airplanes you have flown in to the system first. They also have a free mobile app that is nice.

Default Logbook

Garmin Pilot just introduced a nice logbook into the application. I does do some automatic filling in of the logs and is highly configurable. You might give it a look if you use Pilot.

Start a spreadsheet using your favorite spreadsheet program, and enter the numbers there.

I've been using an Excel spreadsheet since 1997, with columns formatted to look like a paper logbook, and a summary tab that lets me check currency and other numbers needed for insurance renewal.

If you did it in Google Sheets, you could store it online and edit from any internet-connected device.

Wow - I've used this for a few years and never noticed the signature link in the program. Pretty neat! I still complete a paper log book for a backup, but I enjoy this program for all the filtering that can be done to breakdown various flight times.

Default 796 export :(

Would be nice to export the flight log from the 796 like the 496 did and import to the gamin flightbook, made it pretty easy to come up with the numbers every year.

I'll check on G Pilot. Big user/fan. But I bet that's the "i" version...
It is just the "i" version. As usual with aviation apps, Android users are left in envy of Apple. Garmin seems to copy (some) new features from the Apple version to the Android version after about six months, so if I had to guess I'd say that it'll show up sometime around the end of the year. Of course, we're still missing out on synthetic vision, so who knows.
