Pilot logging flights on an app on their phone to be used in a logbook binder

Pilot Logbook Binders

With digital pilot logbooks apps like LogTen, PilotLog, MyFlightBook and many others so widely used where flight records are kept "in the cloud", there is need for Pilots to keep a physical record of the flights as well. One reason is Pilots just wanting a physical back up of their flight data, as it doesn't bear thinking about if it was lost. The is preparing to show it a pilots interview.

This is where Hartnack & Co's custom and bespoke logbook binders have come into their own. Because they are bespoke Pilots have an opportunity to create something personal as well as something that stands out. As it is not a bound and printed book, Pilots also have the advantage of keeping it as up to date as they need just by printing out a new page.

If your requirement is for a luxury, custom made and personalised logbook binder,

Then that's ideal because that is what we make. You can decide on style, format, material and colour and even how your name will look. It's bespoke.

Screw Post Logbook Binder

This binder uses the post and screw mechanism. It holds it pages, or plastic sleeve pockets, firmly at the side so that they turn like a book. It is not difficult to add buttons, the link below will provide a guide.

How it is all made

Every order is made by hand in our Devon studio. Nothing we supply is 'off the shelf' and each order starts with cutting everything to size and is then handcrafted to the highest possible standards using traditional bookbinding and box making techniques.

The materials we use are archive safe, acid free book cloth, ensuring all your precious memories are kept safe for years to come. We would always recommend a buckram outer cover as this is water resistant and hard wearing, can be easily cleaned ensuring it stays pristine.
