How to Print a LogTen Pro Logbook for an Airline Interview
LogTen Pro can turn years of flights into a polished PDF in minutes. The part that deserves your attention happens before and after you tap Generate: confirming that the right entries are included, the totals make sense, and the finished pages are easy to review.
That is because a clean binder cannot rescue an incomplete export. A hidden filter, an incorrect aircraft classification, or a cutoff-date mismatch can follow your data all the way to the interview table.
This guide explains how to print a LogTen Pro logbook for an airline interview from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You will learn how to protect your data, audit the record, select a report, export a complete PDF, and prepare a practical interview binder.
LogTen’s current website and help center generally use the name LogTen, while many pilots still call the application LogTen Pro. Both names below refer to the current LogTen pilot-logbook platform. Menu paths were verified against LogTen’s help center in August 2026; if the interface changes, use the linked official instructions for the latest path.
The Short Answer
Here is the complete process at a glance:
Read the airline’s current document instructions.
Let LogTen finish syncing, then create a manual backup.
Check your identity, aircraft classifications, Entry Types, and Total Time settings.
Run the Flight Audit Report and verify each flagged item against a source record.
Reconcile your LogTen totals with the application using the same cutoff date and definitions.
Choose a report that shows the necessary fields at a readable size.
Generate the full date range with no unintended group or Entry Type filters.
Save the report as a PDF and inspect it from the first entry through the final totals.
Print a proof, then print, bind, and tab the approved file.
The sequence matters. Approve the record first, approve the PDF second, and print only after both checks are complete.
Start With the Airline’s Instructions
There is no single report, signing method, or tab list required by every airline. Some carriers want the entire electronic logbook. Others ask for original logbooks plus a summary, particular checkrides, or records from a defined period.
Before changing a filter or choosing a template, answer five questions from the airline’s current candidate materials:
Does it request the entire electronic record or a specific date range?
Does it separate flight time from simulator or training-device time?
Does it ask you to bring the paper logbooks used to create the digital record?
Does it identify checkrides, endorsements, type ratings, or milestones to tab?
Does it provide signing, certification, or presentation instructions?
When an instruction is unclear, ask the recruiter or interview contact. Another pilot’s experience at a different carrier is not a substitute for the checklist attached to your interview.
A printed LogTen report also does not recreate an instructor’s original handwritten signature or endorsement. 14 CFR § 61.51 specifies information that must be logged for relevant aeronautical experience and requires an authorized instructor’s endorsement for applicable training and proficiency entries. Keep the source logbooks that contain those original records and bring them when requested.

Step 1: Sync and Back Up LogTen
Start with the least glamorous step—and the one that makes every later edit safer.
LogTen says account data syncs automatically while a device is online. Check the status in the upper-right area of the Mac app or under Logbook → Sync on iPhone and iPad. If you record flights on more than one device, confirm that recent entries and corrections appear on the device you will use to create the report.
Then create a manual restore point:
iPhone or iPad: Open Logbook → Backup, then tap the plus button.
Mac: Open the Backup menu in the upper-right area of the app and create a new backup.
LogTen explains this process in its in-app backup guide.
For an additional portable copy of primary flight data, you can also generate Reports → Exporters → Export Flights (Tab). Treat that file as a supplement, not the backup: LogTen states that the spreadsheet export is not a complete copy of the database and excludes items such as signatures and images.
Step 2: Verify the Data That Drives the Report
A report can only organize what is already in the logbook. Four quick reviews prevent many of the surprises pilots first notice on paper.
Confirm the name on the cover
Open Logbook → People on iPhone or iPad, or the People tab on Mac. Select your own record, confirm that your full name is correct, and make sure This is Me is enabled. Many reports use that record for the cover name. LogTen documents the setting in its Report FAQs.
Review aircraft and aircraft-type classifications
Check that each aircraft is assigned to the correct type and that the type has the appropriate category, class, and engine information. Those attributes can drive totals such as single-engine, multi-engine, turbine, and jet time. A flight entry may look complete while still feeding the wrong summary category.
Check Entry Types
Make sure actual flights, simulator sessions, positioning legs, reserve periods, and other duties use the intended Entry Type. This field can determine whether an entry appears when a report is limited to Flights, Simulator, or another category.
If something is misclassified, correct it from the supporting record. Avoid relabeling an accurate entry merely to move it in or out of the printout.
Understand Total Time calculations
LogTen can calculate Total Time from pairs such as Out/In, Off/On, Hobbs, Tach, or Taxi Start/Taxi Stop. It can also retain manually entered or overwritten Total Time.
Mac: Open LogTen → Settings → General.
iPhone or iPad: Open Menu → Settings → Time Calculations.
Review the current method before making changes. A calculation setting can affect many entries at once, so investigate an unexpected total instead of switching methods simply to produce a preferred number. LogTen’s Total Time calculation guide explains the available options.
Step 3: Audit the Record and Reconcile the Totals
This step has two separate jobs. The first looks for unusual entries inside LogTen. The second asks whether LogTen and the airline application are measuring the same things.
Run the Flight Audit Report
Download LogTen’s current Flight Audit Report from its official instructions. As of this article’s August 2026 review, the help center lists Flight Audit Report version 1.2. Restart LogTen if needed; the installed report should appear under Reports → My Reports → Flight Audit Report.
The report can identify patterns such as:
Flights with no Total Time or aircraft type
Seat time that does not equal Total Time
Simulator time assigned to a non-simulator type
Possible duplicate flights
Aircraft types missing category, class, or engine data
Entries longer than 24 hours, sometimes caused by incorrect Out, Off, On, or In sequencing
Work through each result with a simple rule: flag, verify, then act. Find the entry, compare it with the schedule, trip sheet, paper logbook, training record, or other source, and change it only when the evidence supports a correction.
The Flight Audit Report is a screening tool, not a certification. LogTen notes that it can flag valid records, including some balance-forward entries and flights with intentionally overlapping categories. It can also miss problems outside its preset tests.
Reconcile LogTen with the application
Use the same cutoff date as the application or flight-time form already submitted to the airline. Then work through the categories the airline actually requested:
Total time: Confirm that both records end with the same flight and cutoff date. A missing import, duplicate entry, or balance-forward issue can create a difference.
PIC and SIC: Compare the airline’s definition for each field with the way the time is categorized in LogTen. Overlapping categories and application-specific rules are common sources of disagreement.
Turbine and jet time: Review the attributes assigned to each aircraft type. Missing or incorrect engine information can move hours into the wrong total.
Single- and multi-engine time: Check the category and class assigned to the aircraft type. An aircraft linked to the wrong type can distort both totals.
Instrument, night, and cross-country time: Confirm which entries and definitions count. Differences often trace back to the airline’s reporting rules or older paper-logbook imports.
Simulator or training-device time: Determine whether the application separates this time from flight time, then check the Entry Types and filters used in LogTen.
Similar labels do not always have identical definitions. An airline may ask for PIC, cross-country, military, turbine, or simulator time under rules that differ from a personal-logbook total. Rounding can add another small difference when an application accepts whole hours but LogTen stores tenths.
For every mismatch, document the cause. Possible explanations include a different cutoff date, a report filter, an omitted balance forward, incomplete aircraft attributes, or a legitimate difference in definitions. Changing a supported entry only to force agreement creates a new problem instead of solving the original one.
LogTen’s automated checks cannot interpret every airline field or reconcile an application line by line. If you want an experienced reviewer to examine the record before it becomes a printed binder, PilotAudit’s Professional Pilot Logbook Audit looks for total-time issues, category discrepancies, missing information, and entries that may need clarification.
Step 4: Choose a Readable LogTen Report
LogTen offers more than 100 templates, including traditional regional formats and customizable Dynamic Reports. The best choice is not the template that fits the most columns; it is the one that includes the relevant information without forcing the interviewer to squint.
Three report options are worth previewing:
Jeppesen Pro Pilot Log 27: A familiar starting point for many U.S. pilots. Confirm that it contains the fields important to your record.
Dynamic One-Page Logbook: Useful when you need only a modest number of selected fields. Too many columns can make the printed text uncomfortably small.
Dynamic Two-Page Logbook: Better for a detailed record with many fields. Verify the facing-page order and duplex printing before producing the full book.
LogTen uses Jeppesen Pro Pilot Log 27 in its Reports overview. It is a useful report to preview, not a universal airline requirement.
For a Dynamic Report, go to Reports → General and choose a one- or two-page Dynamic Logbook in US Letter or A4. These reports use the fields currently visible in the Logbook view, so arrange and display the fields you want before generating the report. LogTen’s Dynamic Reports guide recommends the two-page layout when a report contains more than roughly 12 to 16 data fields.
Generate a short sample and ask:
Can I read the flight details and totals at normal print size?
Are route, aircraft, crew, remarks, and time categories represented as needed?
Do page and cumulative totals make sense?
Will the layout still work when printed double-sided and bound?
If a standard report answers all four, extra customization may add complexity without adding value.
Step 5: Generate the Complete LogTen PDF
Filters are useful during normal logbook analysis. During a full export, a forgotten filter can quietly remove years of entries. Pause at the configuration screen and confirm three items: Entry Type, Filter Group, and date range.
On iPhone or iPad
Open the Logbook page and tap Report.
Choose a report category and select the report.
Tap Configure Report.
Review Entry Type, Filter Group, and the date range.
If a full record is required, include all intended entry types, remove restrictive filters, and use the complete date range.
Tap Generate in the upper-right corner.
If the selected report supports it and the airline requests it, use Sign Report.
Tap Save as PDF.
Use the Share button to save or send the file. Tapping the filename also provides storage-location and printing options.
On Mac
Return to the Logbook tab before opening Reports.
Select All Entries in the left panel if you need the complete logbook. LogTen warns that the group selected in the Logbook tab filters the report generated afterward.
Open Reports from the navigation bar.
Choose the report category and report.
Check the date-range control in the lower-left area.
Double-click the report or use the available Generate Report control.
Choose Save As, or use Print/Save to open the report in the Mac’s default PDF application and save it there.
These paths follow LogTen’s current Printing and Saving Reports guide.
Perform a 60-second completeness check
Open the PDF immediately and locate six anchors:
Your first expected entry
Your most recent expected entry
Any balance-forward entry
A flight from each major stage of your career
A checkride or training event you expect to tab
The final page and cumulative total
If one is missing, return to LogTen and inspect the selected group, Entry Type, date range, and report design. Finding the problem now is much easier than finding it in a bound book.
Save the report as a PDF rather than HTML or a tab-delimited export. LogTen recommends PDF for printing and electronic sharing; HTML is intended for browser viewing, while a spreadsheet export does not preserve a finished logbook layout.
Use a descriptive filename, such as:
LastName_FirstName_LogTen_2026-08-17.pdf
Once the file is approved, keep it unchanged. If you correct the underlying record, generate a new dated PDF rather than editing values directly in the old one.
Step 6: Preflight Every Part of the PDF
You do not need to reread every remark word for word, but you should inspect every page or spread. Formatting problems sometimes begin halfway through a long report.
Check the file in three passes:
Pass 1: Structure
The cover shows the correct name.
The first and last expected entries are present.
Page numbers are continuous.
No page is blank, duplicated, missing, or out of order.
Column headings repeat clearly enough to interpret later pages.
Pass 2: Readability
Dates, aircraft identifiers, routes, crew, remarks, and time values are not clipped.
Text is readable at the intended paper size without zooming.
Binding margins leave all data visible.
A two-page report forms sensible facing-page spreads.
Pass 3: Totals and events
Page and cumulative totals progress logically.
Final totals match the LogTen figures approved for the chosen cutoff date.
The checkrides, training events, and milestones you plan to tab are visible.
Simulator and other non-flight entries are included or excluded intentionally.
Finally, print a four-page proof that includes a cover or opening page and at least one representative data spread. It will reveal incorrect orientation, tiny text, the wrong duplex flip edge, show-through, or a binding margin that looked fine on screen.
Step 7: Print and Bind for Fast Review
The goal is not to make the logbook ornate. It is to make a dense career record comfortable to navigate.
For a do-it-yourself print:
Match the paper size and orientation selected in the report.
Use double-sided printing when the layout is designed as facing pages.
Confirm the correct duplex flip edge with the proof copy.
Avoid “fit to page” scaling if it makes entries too small.
Choose clean, opaque white paper to limit show-through.
Leave enough inside margin for rings, posts, or coils.
Use a binding method that opens easily without covering data.
Keep every page in exact report order.
A general print shop can reproduce the PDF, but pilot-logbook presentation has its own failure points: two-page spreads must face correctly, totals must remain visible, tabs must open to the intended events, and the binder must stay usable as the record grows.
PilotAudit’s professionally printed interview logbook service is built specifically for this job. PilotAudit is one of the leading specialized providers focused on professionally printed pilot logbooks for airline interviews, with formatting, high-quality printing, binder organization, and a final presentation check handled as one process.
Step 8: Add Useful Tabs and Keep Source Records Together
Tabs should answer “Where is it?” in seconds. They should not turn the edge of the book into another document the interviewer has to decode.
Use the airline’s list first. Depending on the carrier and your history, useful tabs may identify:
Checkrides and practical tests
Type ratings
Instructor endorsements
ATP or restricted ATP milestones
Training failures or unsatisfactory events when requested
Total-time, turbine, PIC, SIC, or multi-engine milestones specified by the airline
Your most recent flight or most recent turbine flight when requested
Place a one-page index near the front and position each tab so the relevant entry appears as soon as the page opens. Check both sides of the sheet to ensure the tab does not cover printed data. The detailed process is covered in What to Tab in Your Pilot Logbook for an Airline Interview.
Keep the documents that support the printout organized as well:
Printed LogTen report: The interview-friendly navigation copy
Original paper logbooks: Source entries, handwritten signatures, and endorsements
Electronic LogTen record: The current searchable data behind the PDF
Application or flight-time summary: The figures the airline may compare
Other requested records: Military, employer, training, or correction documentation relevant to your history
Converting a paper logbook to LogTen does not make the original disposable. Protect it and bring it when the carrier asks for source records.
Stop Before Printing If Any of These Are True
This final checkpoint catches the issues most likely to waste a print run. Pause if:
LogTen has not finished syncing across your devices.
You have not made a current manual backup.
A Flight Audit Report item remains unexplained.
A major total differs from the application and you cannot state why.
A Smart Group, Filter Group, Entry Type, or partial date range may still be active.
The PDF does not contain the expected first entry, recent entry, or final total.
Text is clipped, too small, or crowded into the binding margin.
The airline’s instructions about originals, simulator entries, tabs, or signatures are still unclear.
Once every statement is false, you have a defensible file to print—not merely a PDF that happened to generate successfully.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I print a LogTen Pro logbook from an iPhone or iPad?
Yes. From the Logbook page, tap Report, select and configure the report, generate it, and choose Save as PDF. Use the Share menu or filename controls to save, send, or print it.
Can I print a LogTen Pro logbook from a Mac?
Yes. Select the intended Logbook group—All Entries for a complete record—then open Reports, choose the report and date range, and generate it. Use Save As or Print/Save to create the PDF.
Which LogTen report is best for an airline interview?
There is no universal choice. Jeppesen Pro Pilot Log 27 is a practical starting point for many U.S. pilots. If it omits important fields or becomes crowded, try a Dynamic Two-Page Logbook. The airline’s instructions, the fields you need, and print readability should decide.
Should simulator entries be included?
Include or separate them according to the carrier’s instructions and application definitions. LogTen’s Entry Type controls make either presentation possible, but an old forum recommendation should not determine the treatment.
Do I need to sign every printed page?
Requirements vary. LogTen supports optional digital signing for select reports on iOS, but the carrier determines what it expects from the interview copy. Retain original instructor-signed records and endorsements.
Why does my LogTen total differ from my application?
Start with the cutoff date, active filters, balance-forward treatment, rounding, aircraft classifications, and simulator treatment. Then compare the definitions used for PIC, SIC, cross-country, turbine, and other categories. Explain the difference from evidence rather than forcing one record to match the other.
Can PilotAudit review and print my LogTen Pro logbook?
Yes. The Pilot Interview Logbook Prep Package combines a professional audit with a printed binder, custom tabs, and final presentation review. Pilots who have already reviewed their data can order the printing service separately.
The Bottom Line
Learning how to print a LogTen Pro logbook is mostly about controlling what reaches the printer. Back up the data, verify the classifications, investigate audit flags, reconcile the application totals, and remove unintended filters. Then inspect the PDF as carefully as the underlying record.
The finished logbook does not need to be flashy. It needs to be complete, readable, internally consistent, supported by the source records, and easy for an interviewer to navigate. When those qualities are in place, professional printing and tabbing make the record easier to review instead of trying to compensate for unresolved problems.
