The story behind the Pocket Flight Log and Monthly Planner After a couple of years of publishing the Airline Crew Organizer and Flight Record and seeing many pilots still pulling out one of the small red log books, it was apparent that size matters in log books. Too much size, in this case, meant lost potential sales. So, we decided to shrink the Organizer to fit the needs of those looking for a pocket sized log book and organizer. Unfortunately, there had to be some compromises made to make it work as a smaller version. First, the monthly plastic sleeves had to go. They were too expensive to incorporate into a smaller log book and still keep the price in the neighborhood of competing products. Instead, we had the covers made with clear plastic pockets. The monthly calendar pages had to be modified so as to allow room to write. The small daily meal expense boxes had to be eliminated but the monthly summary area was retained. With smaller pages, there were not going to be as many lines for log book entries so the page which had been available for pasting the monthly schedule was used as an additional log page. The columns were designed specifically for logging flight information. Discovering another need, a page was added to show Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature comparisons along with several metric conversions. The Pocket Flight Log and Monthly Planner has done well. It is now in use by crew members of over three dozen airlines, crew members of the military, corporate pilots, and other assorted (no offense meant) pilots and aviation personnel.
