I wanted to keep track of my kiting (ground handling) and flights so I started looking around for a flight log for powered paragliders. So, I Googled it.
I was surprised to only find a couple of them. One was an older app that only ran on PCs. You can find it at USPPA Resources page. Click here to get the page. It looks good but it wasn't what I was looking for.
I found one on Southern Skies paramotor site on their Training page. Click here to get to it. It's an Excel file and a good one but a bit too sparse for me. I wanted to keep track of more data.
The last one I found was just a blog post like this one telling about how they made one of their own by using a commercial flight log and converting it to record their data. Click here to go to the blog. He was collecting more data but it wasn't digital.
So after looking through these I decide to use Google Docs to come up with my own. That way I could access it from anywhere and could share it with my trainer when I got one. I could also create one that could be copied by others to use. I have a link to my personal one in the right navigation under links. Or click here. I also created a template that you can use to start your own.
You can use the template a couple of ways. You can start a new spreadsheet in Google docs and then click on File -> New -> Template. Then enter 'ppg' in the search box to find the template and apply it. Or you can click here to get it.
I would love any feedback you have for the flight log and I'll update the template with the suggestions.
