Default RE: Flying log.

I started out keeping a log, but seemed to simply forget to update it after a flight or after a flying day. It's something that I think is worth while, but seem to never get it done.

Ken's suggestion of that program looks pretty neat. The only problem I have with it is that a written log of daily activities would probably be necessary followed by an update to the computerized database at home afterwards... or bring a laptop/notebook to the field with us.

However, it is a good idea and worth merit. I would start it but then I don't know if I'd ever follow through with it later on.

It does give you a good idea of the engine time, fuel consumption, and battery status, which is probably something that would be good to know and serve as a reminder of things to do either before flying (check things out based on the log) or after we fly and return home.
