How do you log 121 time?

I used to do leg by leg, then that got old really quick.
Then I started doing day by day, and its starting to get old.
I was thinking trip by trip, I know my old man used to do month by month.

I bought logbook pro a year ago, still havent touched it :dunno:

How do most of you log? I'm sitting in my CMH hotel room on a 30 something hour overnight and trying to stay focused and do my logbook.
 
I logged month by month. IE, January 2000 DHC8 85.6 Multi Engine Turbine SIC. If I needed something like landing currency I would just note in the comments section 3 night landings January 4 2000
 
I am still logging leg by leg. I'm about to start updating it; I haven't put anything in since October but I do have a current excel record of it so there is not much urgency. Leg-by-leg certainly does take more time but I like how it is very detailed and there's no guessing about anything.
 
I still do the little red logbook on trips, when I get home I put it in logbook pro and a big logbook that stays in the safe. All on a leg by leg basis. I am also OCD with recordkeeping.... :beer:
 
Leg by leg.

1) Export from Etrip after flying the trip
2) Import to Logbook Pro
3) Slack off.
4) Profit!

Hey now, if you ever get ramp checked, and the inspector sees in your logbook that you're logging 121 time just like you'd log 135 time..........man, you don't EVEN want to go down that road......;)

Why would I have my log book with in the first place!:p;)

For me its crew track-> Print at the end of every month.:beer:
 
I log by the day. (A four day trip means 4 lines in the book. Though a single leg day I might combine with the next day.) I just list the individual legs in the remarks.
 
I used to do by tail number until I got APDL. Now, it does it leg by leg for me and exports it to LBP.
 
I did it leg by leg in my Jepp hardcopy log... Made myself do that until I moved on from Pinnacle. Superstitions die hard.

Now I do it by the trip. Dates, a/c types, ships, start and end cities. Then in the remarks the guys I flew with, rotation number as well as legs.
 
At Pace then XJT I started logging by flight. Then, carpel tunnel set in so, I started logging by day and tail number. Laziness came next and I started logging by month. That lasted through AAI.

Once I got to Delta I completely stopped logging. If I absolutely have to I will go back and make a single line entry for all of the time I have accumulated to date. However, I have already decided that this is my last airline job so, it really does not matter. If I get furloughed or something worse then, I will find something else. I have too many uniforms in the closet as it is.

FYI, my Dad never logged a single flight during his entire 26 year career at Delta. All of his USAF time was a single line entry in one of those student pilot logbooks. The only way he knew how much time he had was by looking at his pay stub. I have kinda reverted to that as well. That and eCrew does a decent job.
 
I haven't updated my logbook in well over a year. I used to love doing it, now I cringe thinking about logging time.

When I do it again, it will be month by month. There is no right or wrong way to do it!
 
By flight while training/flight instructing.

By day while at Amflight.

By day while at ExpressJet.

Everything is electronic at this point. I was logging everything the same way between paper and electronic until ExpressJet, when I stopped putting things in the paper logbook. Now I have that time in there by month.

I'll probably continue to do the same.

Ends up being leg per leg, but it is super easy logging my block times after each flight. I haven't been this caught up in my 'logbook' in years! :)

And now you can backup the file to iDisk with MobileMe and are backed up even if the house burns down..... Trying to talk the file into another mac for me... It's only money right?
