How do you log your trips?

Property of Scheduling
I put in each leg and use a "little red book" to keep track of it on the trip and when home I put it in my big logbook and logbook pro. Some people do it by month, some by trip- I am not sure what is right and wrong but the way I keep it I have soo much detail that I have no doubt that I meet and exceed the technical regs of logging flight time. Plus at a 121 carrier you can always pull up the flights.

I log the entire day on one line. I also started out leg by leg, then I discovered it was a waste of time, plus it would end up in having more logbooks to keep up with. I also write it down in a notepad and usually fill out my logbook every couple of weeks.
I don't normally swap planes during a flight, so the tail number stays the same.

Do you airline guys use the tail number in your logbooks, or do you use flight numbers?

I don't log time because I don't need the total time and 145 SIC time is worthless. When I upgrade to captain, I'll log every second!

Tail number...
And that's the way I log it as well. If I had 5 legs (our max), usually the most that equates to is @ 2 tails... so only two entries for that day.
10/15...EMB145...N12345...IAH-CVG-EWR...........Etc.
10/15...EMB145...N54321...EWR-DCA-EWR-ACK...Etc.

That's a nice justification.

I used APDL and sync it with Logbook Pro. It logs it by the leg. Even doing that, it takes me about 15 minutes to do my log books at the end of the month. My Palm Pilot battery is crap, so I carry a Red Book with me, and put it into my Palm Pilot when I get home.
I log the aircraft tail. I put the flight number (or rather APDL/Logbook Pro) puts the flight number and crew in the remarks.

That would be a dream day for us. Only one a/c swap? Normal day for us has us starting out in one plane, fly to a hub, switch planes, out and back, switch planes, then we'll either do another out and back and be done, do another out and back and switch planes AGAIN and fly to the destination (yes, 6 leg days DO exist, esp in DTW) or (if you're lucky) take that same plane to the outstation for the night....then switch planes in the morning.
I think I usually only keep the same plane all day if there's been a MX delay that causes us to only have 30 minute turns for the rest of the day.

I'm with Kellwolf on this one, we swap planes way too often. If it's a 5 leg day it usually is five different aircraft.
Date, A/C ident, Route of flight, and time.
What else more do you need?
Okay maybe landings, IMC time, etc. but nobody cares about that, right?

I'm another APDL/Logbook Pro user. At Skywest I would sync it with one line per day regardless of how many tail #s I flew, now I'm doing one line per leg. Don't know why. . . just do now.
I do a monthly total written in my big green Jepp logbook, just because I have the room. I think when that gets full, I'll just go 100% electronic.

To all the guys the log each leg. Do you have over a 1000 hours? Just curious because you would have to go through a butt load of log books. I do duty period and have 3 pro(big brown ones) ones filled.
