Seriously, holy crap. I'v been doing this for 8 HOURS STRAIGHT!

And i've only transfered about 200hrs from my paper log to online with about 350 to go.

I can't imagine the folks that do this after they get around part 135 mins. I mean holy crap this is tedious work.
 
I did mine at 1800 hours. I highly recommend switching to the electronic early on if you are thinking about it.

If it makes you feel better, my boy Zap did it when he had 8k ish......

Then again, I knew a guy that didn't log for 11 years. When the hiring boom of '99 hit, he had about 11000 hours to log. I remember him working on his logbook about 6-8 hours a day for a couple weeks!!!

I have 6k, a couple lost paper logs, and have no intention of doing it. I think I'd rather get another degree and a new careers if an electronic log was the only way to get a job.

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to transferring mine. I'm thinking of paying some homeless person to do it :crazy:

I'm almost homeless...does that count? I'll do it if the price is right. :crazy:

Scan your log then email it to me?
 
Question for those who have switched to the electronic log. Are you still keeping a paper one at all? I was doing both - helped find mistakes, but I don't really see the point in doing both since I can easily print the electronic. Thoughts? (I'm sure it's been answered a dozen times already, but I'm too lazy to search it).

Preachin' to the choir. I'm still updating my logbook from trip sheets, invoices from flight instruction, etc. and I had the entire week of Christmas off and to myself.

Don't ever let yourself get more than a week or rotation behind. I'll never do this again. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Yeah I thought I had it rough! It felt like it took me forever to get my hours in online, and I have just under 400 currently! :drool:
 
I attempted inputting my logbook into an electronic format when I had 1000hrs and I gave up. Now I have 2500 or so hours and I say screw that! If I do put it in an electronic format it will be month to month. It certainly won't be everyday I've flown!
 
It would be awesome if someone knew some good programming, could make a program that scans paper logbooks and can recognize the columns and numbers and transfer them electronically, just a recognition and organization program.
 
I do it once a week. started when i had 1200 hours. ugh, its a pain. KLB, im surprised you wouldnt bust it out on the layovers.
