They have a elog book which is so user UN-friendly. I know most use Foreflight. What electronic flight time logging programs do most use second to Foreflight?
I think for a free service, Fltplan.com is absolutely amazing. I’ve flown military, 91, 135, and 121 and I still use their free logbook. Yes, a paid logbook will be better. However, it’s worked for me and I have no plans on changing it. The important thing is that the numbers are in the database. I’m halfway talented with excel so every time I download my fltplan.com logbook it auto populates into a format that I like in a separate file. The app is great too. Why pay for Foreflight when the fltplan go app is just as good? Hell, WheelsUp uses fltplan to do flight plans and file them.

Why not just stick with pen and paper if you’re just flying an RV7

Just do your best best and break it down into blocks by type PIC and SIC. I started with electronic log books years ago when I had already 7 or 8 years in the commuters and two type ratings. I have only ever logged out/in and landings, has become so easy now with mobile apps. I once interviewed with a foreign airline that expected log books with pages stamped and verified by flight operations department.
I told them I could not provide that but "as you can see I have well in excess of the minimum required qualifications" and that was accepted.

The stamped and verified thing blew my mind the first time I dealt with it. The local African CAA was not giving an inch, so I went into town, had a stamp made and did it myself. That was the end of any pushback, they accepted it, and I learned to love flying in 3rd world countries.
