Simple and free electronic logbook

[Craig R]

I started flying again after decades, and began using my old logbook, but then I built a simple spreadsheet. I keep it on a cloud drive to make sure I can access it from most anywhere.

Does anyone have a simple and free, elegant solution?

What's wrong with the cloud spreadsheet? That's what I use.

My flightbook.com,

I second that. It has plenty of great and useful features, it is made for pilots with pilots in mind.

Nothing if you're happy with it. I would email it to yourself periodically for backup.

well, I still do paper, and duplicate on the spreadsheet, so I have a physical copy

If you don’t mind reentereing the data that works.

I just made my own very basic sheet, but this one I just found seems nifty, with colors and summary sheets and all:

Just remember if you only have electronic copies in one “place” they can go away. You know nothing of the cloud providers backup implementation. That’s why I periodically export mine from MyFlightbook as a csv file and email it to myself. I do keep paper but no way I want to type all that In again.

I use myflightbook.com as well and would recommend it.

Myflightbook for me.

Me too. I had been using an Access database I originally wrote in a DOS program (to give you an idea how long I'd been doing an eLogj but switched to MyFlightBook. I contribute, which gives me daily automatic backups.
