My OPSO pointed me to this, looks like a great piece of software. Runs on Microsoft Access. It is USAF friendly as well.

Naval Aviator's Logbook Program
- Thread starter Fly Navy
- Start date
I know people who track their own hours in some fashion or another, but it seems like a big waste of time to me. I've never had any errors worth fussing about over the years, but whatever floats your boat. I could see making photocopies in case your logbook gets lost, but all your hours data gets logged in at least two independent computer systems at the squadron level.Fly Navy said:

I've used that program for some time now. Version 6.0 is due out anytime.

I would always find errors, but they were correctable. What it does do is allow you to sort your hours so that you can easily see what you need for whatever reason. But you can do that with SHARP, says you. Well, only if SHARP doesn't crap itself in the yearly upgrades that they do and if you have access to SHARP, which outside of the fleet, you don't. Fortunately one of the AWs gave me an Excel doc that did the same type of thing. They used it to unscrew my logbook right before I left (one of which was my time in model. Turns out I hit 1K a month before I thought I did).
Using those two indepedent computer systems at the squadron level also doesn't help you when you're trying to span airframes. I'm guessing it's not as big a deal when you're dealing with special crew time (not meant as a dig), but when you're trying to sort out A-time, NVG time, helo time, model time, and total time, all over several squadrons, it gets to be a hassle.
Not taken as a dig, but for you who are NFO-unexperienced, we have to track all that stuff too and have all the same types of currency requirements. Personally, I've seen guys who track themselves and those who don't. The world doesn't seem to end for either flavor, so I would just as soon not duplicate the effort.gatordev said:

To be honest, that's kind of been my philosophy, as well. But at least I have some tools if I want to use them. As for quals you have to track, again, didn't mean to sound like you don't have any, I just assumed (yup, there's the problem) there wouldn't be as many. Now that I think about it, I can see there's a bunch of stuff you guys could track, especially when you have to nanny a nugget pilot. BTW, do you guys fly on goggles? I know the F/A guys do, but wasn't sure if you guys actually needed them.
Sure do. All the OEF Prowler work is done 100% at night w/ NVGs. The field at Bagram operates lights out at night as well, so unlike our normal SOP where we doff the NVGs prior to landing, the guys over there are landing with them on.gatordev said:
