Should I use a new logbook??
I only have about 22 hours in my logbook, but the last time I logged time in it was approx 2 1/2 years ago. I'm about to start flight training at the college I'm attending and was wondering should I use a new logbook (the previous one is from a Cessna Pilot Center) or just keep using my current one and continue from where I left off.
Thanks

Hi!
If you want to fly professionally, at an organization that will be collecting your info over the internet (like a 121 carrier) start and electronic logbook immediately. I reccoment LogBookPro. It's not perfect, but it's good.
Good Luck!

I did go out and buy a Jeppesen (spelling?) logbook but asked one of my flight class teachers if I should continue in my logbook or use this new one. He told me to just continue using the logbook I have but I will keep the Jeppesen one.

I used paper logs for my first 3 logbooks. I recommend going electronic in the future because it will make your life easier when applying for future jobs. I would stick with paper until you finish all your ratings so your endorsements are all in one place. I had 3 interviews with majors and the electronic format was not an issue, but always bring your originals. I printed it out and had it bound at Kinko's.

Go electronic, I use Safelog, paper logbooks get lost, distroyed, damaged, etc. Plus math errors, breaking down flight times are a pain with paper. With a electronic logbook, math errors are eliminated, multiple copies are a piece of cake, and breaking down flight times for job interviews are a breeze.
