Online Logbook Review · Sep 25, 07:14 PM
Many people are embracing the idea of the digital logbook. This not only gives you the ease of access to quick reports that can help you determine currency but will also allow you to answer those little questionnaires you get asked when filling out an IACRA form and/or applying for an insurance policy.
I would like to introduce to you AvJournal
What is it?
AvJournal is an online logbook allowing you to store all of your flight data online without the worry of a computer crash and having to re-enter all of your data. Since the data is online you also need not worry of a computer theft or even a logbook theft. AvJournal is not a replacement for a paper logbook but it gives you a bit more peace of mind in regards to the security of your logbook data.
How it has helped me:
I have entered in all of my data from the very beginning of my flight career (time consuming, I know) but it helps me quickly run reports to get customized total times. I use this for modifying my resume. It also all but eliminates arithmetic errors while totaling your times manually in a paper logbook making for more accurate logs.
What about support?
AvJournal is a very dynamic application in the terms of support and consistent changes and updates to make the service easier to use and generally more useful. I have personally contacted the owners of the service with issues and have received a response literally within minutes and in some cases a fix within a day. This is incredibly impressive to me as I consider myself a very saavy internet user and in general I am very demanding of the online apps that I use. Especially ones that I pay for.
Cost?
AvJournal is very fairly priced as you can sign up for a free 30 day trial and after that you can choose to pay $3.95 a month or $39.95 yearly.
Special Deals?
I have a special deal for you. If you click on any of the banners or links within this review and use the coupon code SECUREIT you will receive a 50% discount on your first year of service. This makes the cost only $19.95 for the first year!
Additional Details:
It is also important to note that I am a strong believer in the ownership of data. My logbook data is my logbook data. AvJournal has an export feature that allows you to extract all of your digital records in the form of an Excel spreadsheet for easy import into a different logbook software if you so choose. This also works in reverse allowing you to import your data from other logbook software.
