We are committed to providing you the absolute best pilot logbook software on the market along with our unrivaled rapid response 24x7x365 customer service. We appreciate your continued loyalty and enjoyment of Logbook Pro pilot logbook software and we are happy to offer you this update FREE as all others have been the past 13 years.
We listened to your feedback and this release is
primarily refinements to an already rock solid,
reliable, and most trustworthy logbook available.
There is one logbook you can trust - Logbook Pro.
Revisions:
- NEW: For all reports that have grouping i.e.
Flight Log Summary By Month or Flight Log By
Aircraft Type - a new option is added to the
report preferences button on the toolbar
(notecard with pointing finger) button allowing
you to break the groups so groups start on new
pages instead of just having a running list with
no page separation
- NEW: A new RESTORE dialog appears when
restoring a backup (File..Restore) making
restoring backups simpler and also guiding users
to put their data files in the proper location
on their hard drive. The three options presented
are: 1) Default (and preferred) location of My
Documents/My Logbook Pro Files/1 2) The same
folder as the .BAK file resides 3) You choose
where to restore to
- Popup dialogs such as date selector,
approaches, expenses, can now be closed via the
keyboard, mouse clicking is not required. Press
ESC to close the dialog without saving changes,
press ENTER to close the dialog and save changes
- Remarks now wrap within the remarks cell on
Split-Reports. Custom template edition of these
reports did not have this issue and wrapped
properly
- Added signature image support to additional
flight log reports. All Jeppesen layout reports
now handle the signature image as outlined in
this article. The one logbook report that
mimics your spreadsheet log layout is NOT
supported as it is generated dynamically with
every run.
- The following reports now default to
Portrait layout instead of Landscape: Currency,
FAR 121, FAR 135
- A new setting is added in Options / User
Info for you to specify your binder format. When
selected, reports will be able to generate
smarter such as binder transitions will better
know the capacity of your binder and provide you
better guidance as to when to make transitions
and after how many pages.
- Cloud Sync's Automatic Sync option is OFF
(unchecked) by default as Airline Pilots that
enter their Account ID and Username may have a
need to have their logbook data uploaded to the
My Sync portal. Automatic Sync can be optioned
on by clicking My Sync and selecting the
Automatic Sync menu option or from within the My
Sync / Account Settings area
- Added Facebook and Twitter buttons to the
far right of the menu bar (top right of program)
to quickly go to our social networking pages
- Fixed an issue where cell contents would not
be selected when the cursor lands in a column
for example LEGS or the route highlighting and
cursor placement may be incorrect for some
custom layout arrangements
- Top/Bottom margins for Full Size and
Commander Series binders are reduced to 1/2 inch
by default
- Schedule Importer has a better workflow as
some users could not figure out why the Import
button was not enabled due to not specifying the
Default Aircraft or Aircraft Ident
- Schedule Importer adds an option to import
flights without entering a duration such as for
future flights not yet flown. If this option is
unchecked it will also clear the Auto-Purge
checkbox on the bottom of Options/Flight Log as
Logbook Pro will auto-purge flights not having
the required columns filled in (Date, Type,
Ident, Route, and Duration (or SIM))
- Enhanced some of the Flight Log GROUPED BY
reports to better accommodate 1 inch margins
- Fixed an issue where clicking in the
spreadsheet after just opening the spreadsheet
log could cause the cursor position to return
back down to the bottom "new row"
- Fixed an issue where the data lock button
would appear pressed when in fact the
spreadsheet was not locked
Installation/Upgrade Instructions:
- Backup your data by clicking
File..Archive..Backup within Logbook Pro

later simply click Help...Check for Updates

Video Tutorial
Revisions:
FFDO Export:
For crew members participating in the FFDO program
and need to convert your schedules into a format
that you can use in the FFDO portal you can now do
this using the Airline Schedule Importer. Import
your trips, edit to remove information as needed,
and then click the Export FFDO button to download a
file you can then copy and paste into the FFDO
program. FFDO export includes an option to
include deadhead. When checked deadhead flights will
be included in the export and you'll also have notes
on the bottom informing you which legs are deadhead
and a reminder to mark them as non-mission in the
FFDO portal.
Simple Date Editing with Drop Down Calendar:
A new calendar drop down will appear allowing you to
easily edit the trip start date without having to
worry about the correct date formatting.
Trip Editor Improved with ADD capability:
Need to add a trip, day, or leg manually? You can
now click the buttons such as "Add Trip" etc. after
importing your schedule as shown below. A popup
window will appear allowing you to fill in the
required fields then click save to commit the
changes to your cloud storage.
Export to TAB and CSV.
Specify the collation type (By Leg or By Day), enter
a Default Aircraft Type and Ident and then click the
desired export button and you can instantly download
your trip data for use as desired.
Date Field Highlighting when date is required:
When the trip data does not contain date information
BIDLINE is entered. APDL will prompt you to enter
the trip start date when importing, no action is
required on the web portal. However, for other
applications such as Logbook Pro for PC, iPhone, and
iPad, if you leave the trip start date to BIDLINE
today's date will be set. We added yellow
highlighting to remind you to set the trip start
date by clicking the edit button on the far right of
the trip row. Enter the date in MM/DD/YYYY format
and then click the SAVE button and the changes will
be saved to your cloud storage. You can now properly
import trips as desired.
We hope you enjoy these exciting improvements. We
have more great features we're working on which
we'll release over the coming months as we complete
them. If you have any suggestions for new features
or improvements to existing features feel free to
contact us with your suggestions at any time. |
