    Log books... old school, electronic, or both?

    Interesting. I'm not sure of where they do their testing, but between the two front runners Google and Tesla and the miles driven...somebody better have been thinking of crummy driving weather. But either way, I think we're already in that same situation as it is. We ALREADY have jerks...

    Log books... old school, electronic, or both?

    For clarification, do you mean from a nefarious standpoint with regards to disabling an autonomous car? If so - well then yes of course any standard of safety goes out the window. But that's just the simple logic of "nothing is idiot proof". On the other hand- I feel in an individual who would...

    Log books... old school, electronic, or both?

    Very refreshing to hear. I'm 38 and I do a lot of daydreaming about all the new tech like the Honda ASIMO robot, autonomous cars like the Tesla, artificial intelligence, etc, etc. Many many times I find myself defending the "new tech" to some of my "more senior peers". :p

    o_O Those darn "70's babies"... they're just a mixed bag! (On a totally unrelated note, please do not view my birthdate)

    Log books... old school, electronic, or both?

    That's the thing with digital- there's ALWAYS a way with very little effort to make a backup just in case something like a burned disc does go bad. Just as simple as cloud based storage through google for instance. Drag and drop the files you need backed up- done. But I do know some people don't...

    Log books... old school, electronic, or both?

    I hear ya, to an extent, with regards to students. I didn't start electronic logging until post-student flying. Endorsements beyond that just simply went into the paper log and sits at home getting dusty. As for the administrative law I don't think it's as bad as it's made out to be. The...

    Log books... old school, electronic, or both?

    True, however I think it takes the same amount of foresight to bring your phone charger along for the flight, as say- to bring your logbook along for the unlikely event you get ramp checked. Also I've noticed a lot of pilots that go the "electronic" route typically use a iPad or something...

    Log books... old school, electronic, or both?

    Like most everything else, personal preference. I'm a new school kinda guy always looking for the most logical and efficient approach to everything. Typically the advancement of technology provides this if I'm willing to learn. Earlier I mentioned Zululog- It does everything I need and does it...

    Log books... old school, electronic, or both?

    I second that idea, digital is great. Any required signatures just go in the paper log. ZuluLog is absolutely perfect for this task. Quick and easy. And you can always print the logs for backup. Web based so it's on the phone and iPad too. No excuse to forget.

    Anyone flying in AZ Sunday?

    OK sounds good! I'm thinking a trip to TUCSON to the flight museum?? Or maybe a trip to Sedona for a bite at the restaurant. This would get us back earlier than the Tucson trip.

    CDI not responding to GPS signal

    Interestingly (luckily?) my mechanic is excellent with any type of labor issues. I just want a little information before I drop off the plane. Like- is this something that could have easily been "unplugged" (or whatever has to happen) when working behind the panel. OR is it relatively difficult...

    CDI not responding to GPS signal

    I need to figure out the first place to start here. I have a KLN 94 mounted in a 2000 Cessna 172. I'm not sure when this problem started but I have had some work done behind the panel so I'm hoping something just didn't get reconnected. When I enter a GPS course and push the GPS/NAV button to...
