Cash for Clunker'ware - Upgrade to Logbook Pro and get $20 back
Cash back sale through October 15th

Sometimes we buy something and we wonder if we really made the right choice.  Or, we learn of something better but it hurts to go spending even more money.  In the case of software logbooks you want to stick with something that's proven, is going to be around, is updated and maintained, and of course has support to answer any questions you may have.

We convert many different products for our customers such as Jeppesen FliteLog, Mentor Logbook, AeroLog, EasyLog, FlightLevel, AvLog, you name it, we've converted it!  We get customers coming to us because Logbook Pro has become the defacto standard in the industry.  It is accepted at interviews, most interviewers, examiners, feds, you name it all have and use Logbook Pro themselves. 

So if you made the wrong choice we are here to help you and accept you with open arms.  In fact, we'll help defray the costs of buying yet another software logbook as we know this is your final stop, this is the right choice.

Simply send us proof of purchase of your other software logbook and we'll send you a gift voucher to take $20 off your purchase of Logbook Pro.  It's that easy, and we'll even convert your data for you, if we can, for FREE.  Most logbooks do have an export option to export to CSV or TAB delimited files and Logbook Pro has an Import Wizard that will read that data and you're all set.

Restrictions:

-Proof of purchase must contain an order number and registration code
-Proof of purchase must show the full product purchase, upgrade purchases do not apply
-Original purchase must have cost $30 or more

Web Backup Service - Affordable Data Backup
Backup to Web Service for Logbook Pro

Having been in the software business a number of years I cannot stress enough to "plan for the worst."  We created this backup service for Logbook Pro out of popular demand, the need for an offsite backup capability.  You have to ask yourself a few questions to see if you are properly covered:

1) What if my computer crashes, is my critical data available after a reload?

2) What if my computer is stolen (yes, your home can be broken into and most likely your electronics are first priority on the list.) and if you're using a laptop computer, it's even at higher risk

3) What if my flight bag is stolen (for those using paper logs, we've heard it happening multiple times over the years)

4) What if...you can ask yourself as needed, what if it all and make sure you're covered!

There are two critical strategies you should taking in backing up your software flight log:

1) Backup often (File..Archive..Backup) and also keep a history of backups, don't keep overwriting the same file.  Hard drive space is cheap!

2) PRINT your logbook.  There is nothing better than a hard copy backup as a last resort.  We've had people send us this very thing several times and our data entry staff re-entered everything for them.  We have a turn-key printing service where we'll print it for you if you want a professional solution and use our Cirrus Elite binders as well.

With both of the above, it is a good idea to keep an offsite backup.  If you have a printout, keep it in a folder at a relatives place.  And with our backup to web service, you can now simply upload your .BAK file and keep on our servers which are backed up multiple times a day to various means (tape, multi-terabyte redundant storage system, offsite backup).

Our Backup to Web service is VERY affordable.  We have three different service levels which vary simply by the number of .BAK files we'll store for you.  The subscription at these low rates allow you access for an entire year, so it is very very cheap and could save the day should any of the above tragedies mentioned happen.  At the very minimum, use the 1-File (single file) system.  However, keeping a history of backups is highly recommended.  For example, backup every Friday and upload that backup to our web site.  As you run out of space (5 or 10 file system), delete the oldest and replace it with a new .BAK file so you have backups in continuous rotation.  The reason is that what if you find a problem in your data file, i.e. it becomes corrupt or affected by a virus.  If you're rotating a single backup file that has the problem, you can't go back in time to one that is good.  By having 5-10 backups available, you can keep regressing backwards until the problem is resolved.

Windows 7 - Absolutely Amazing!
Windows 7

Windows 7 was released to manufacturing several weeks ago and on August 6th, as a Microsoft Partner, I was able to get the final release downloaded and installed on my Dell XPS 720 x64 system (and Dell Dimension D830 laptop).  It is absolutely impressive, Microsoft has really done it right and redeemed themselves!  Although I never had an issue with Vista it obviously acquired a bad reputation which I'm happy to report is now repaired with an amazing operating system release by Microsoft.

Driver compatibility is not a problem, in fact you can reach into Windows Update to find legacy drivers if needed (I have a few legacy devices, scanners, etc).  Performance is improved, both systems are noticeably faster.  Applications are all stable and running without any problems at all.  Multiple monitor support is included, I don't need UltraMon to run my three monitors any longer.  The themes are fantastic, nothing like looking at nice scenery of the United States and the backgrounds rotate throughout the day.

As I own a iMac 24, I really liked the ribbon it uses to open or switch between applications and wondered if Microsoft would ever use a similar interface.  I really (say again - REALLY) like what Microsoft has done both with the task bar (bottom) and the start menu.  It has actually made me realize how limited the ribbon is on the MAC.  You can find the details online detailing the improvements in Windows, here is one.  I also watch a web site such as ActiveWin.com if you are looking for a good site to keep up-to-date with Windows.

Thank you Microsoft!  It's nice to have an exciting Windows release and as life is so restricted on a MAC, we have a world of applications available to Windows and Windows 7 runs them beautifully!  Logbook Pro 2010 is on the horizon and runs perfectly on Windows 7 as does Logbook Pro 1.10.42 which was just released.

Click here to get an instant estimate on what it would take to transfer your logs.  Consider how long it would take you to do this nasty work and what value you put on your time.  Part with your logbooks for a few weeks and we'll FedEx them back to you and get you setup in Logbook Pro in no time at all.  You'll be set with the logbooks of today, electronic is becoming the defacto standard.  It is nearly impossible to fill out an application or insurance form (8710, etc.) without an electronic logbook as with Logbook Pro.  Getting complex times, percentages of total time, on and on, it's just impossible, and then give that in certain aircraft types, you get the point.  Logbook Pro is to the rescue, now just take that step and let's get you taken care of.  I'm happy to report that in several years of offering this service we have never had a problem with shipping or satisfaction from this service.
