Jeppesen advertises that this logbook is good for ten years of entries. However, from the appearance of my logbook, I doubt that I will get 10 more months -- as the pages are falling out and coming out of the binding. Any ideas on how to repair my logbook?

What are you doing to it that causes pages to fall out?

I know 3 people with that problem, nothing throwing it around either, just kept in a flight bag.

I would think that a place the binds books would be able to help you. :dunno: Also, I use a medium sized metal clip on the end of the logbook and this helps relieve some of the stress on the spine.

I'm on my second Jep Pro logbook...the first one was, and still is, fine. The second one (bought in the summer of 2006) essentially fell apart within a few months. The spine for the cover appears not to have been attached well to the stitching for the pages.

Anyway, I haven't lost any pages out of it, but it sure looks like crap. The only thing holding the cover to the pages now is tape. I've tried a couple types of glue, but neither holds for long. About every six months, I have to redo the tape on the inside front cover because of all the "abuse" just from opening and closing the logbook.

Counting the entries 'til I can buy another, non-Jep, logbook :(

:beer: Simple and great, thanks.

Mine has gotten some years on it now, and is starting to loosen up a lot.

Check with your local library. I know ours has a "book doctor". They should know how to fix the binding and may even be able to do it for you.
 
Re: Jeppesen Professional Pilot Logbook: Is yours falling ap

Nope.

Then again it's not getting much use right now. At least not as much as before.

Yep. Gorilla Glue has fixed the problem for several months now.

:yup: Absolutely. I have taken several book binding problems to the library. Costs less than ten dollars.
 
Re: Jeppesen Professional Pilot Logbook: Is yours falling ap

My logbook from Jepp is less than a year old, and I had to reglue the binding. My logbook rarely leaves my flight bag.
 
Re: Jeppesen Professional Pilot Logbook: Is yours falling ap

Mine is fine, but then again I dont carry it with me on a daily basis....I just write in my times when I get home.
 
Re: Jeppesen Professional Pilot Logbook: Is yours falling ap

Thats why I go for the small logbooks. Gleim makes a good one.

Did that to mine and I have had zero issues since then. I shot some of the glue into both sides of the binding and let it sit on a table with the spine down. If you use Gorilla Glue be careful as it is an expanding glue. If too much is used it will overflow out the edges.

I'm pretty sure Gorilla Glue is only supposed to go on the dry surface. Not on both.
