Aviation Logbook Software Makes Life Easier For Pilots! - By: Reijo Metso

Regulations and rules force pilots to keep track of more and more data. Aviation logbook software is one possible solution to stay on top of the paperwork. In what ways can today's software packages help pilots?

Tracking your flying time is the basic function of aviation logbook software. You can track your time based on a flight time basis for your pilot log and on an air time basis for your aircraft log. Or do want to track your time based on Tach time basis? Not a problem, today's aviation logbook software can manage that for you, and much more.

Do you want to track your flight and operating expenses? Once again, aviation logbook software comes to the rescue. The cost per flight and the cost per hour are automatically calculated. Thanks to the graphical interfaces expense reports can be generated with just a mouse click.

What if you are sharing an aircraft and need to calculate everyone's share of the expenses? Once again aviation logbook software saves times and avoids potential disputes by automatically splitting expenses between pilots based on Tach Time, Flight Time, Air Time or on a fixed percentage basis. For major expenses, such as overhauls, a reserve can automatically be created and each pilot's contribution can be calculated based on aircraft usage.

One of the biggest advantages of aviation software for you is the possibility of optimising the performance of your aircraft. The software tells you the fuel and oil consumption per flight or for a given time period. You can track costs by hour or by pilot. By being alerted of potential engine problems before they turn into expensive repairs, you can save a lot of money in maintenance expenses.

By using aviation logbook software you can keep your records clean and clear. In today's world this is not only for yourself but also very important when you deal with government agencies, insurance companies, prospective buyers etc.

Let's face it, you need to stay on top of all the paperwork. Without using aviation logbook software the workload can quickly become uncontrollable. And very few pilots enjoy doing paperwork.
