To the other fellow AMT (A&P/IA). I am looking for a new source of logbook adhesive stickers that I can make on my laptop and print on the printer. What do you use/suggest.

Thanks in advance.

I use Avery labels. Walmart has a selection of different sizes and there are more are available online for purchase. You go to https://www.avery.com/templates and download the free template for the size you are using. I personally have 3 or 4 different sizes that I use depending on the space that is needed for the entry. I hope this helps.

James, I am using the 3" x 4" Avery ones now. Just wanted something more custom made for the standard airframe and engine logbooks.

I use the Avery #5292 4” x 6” shipping labels that I buy at Staples.

My computer is an iMac, so I use Apple Pages for the word processor.
I set the Paper Size to 4” x 6” with the Orientation set to Landscape. I use 0.25” for each margin.
On the first line, I enter the date, tach time, and aircraft total time
Below that, I add whatever the log entry is.
Finally. there is a line for signature, name, and certificate number.

Save the document when done and print the label

I use my wife’s rotary fabric cutter to cut the label to the minimum vertical size needed.

When you need another label, just change the date, the times, and the description of work done.

Richard, What font size are you using?

I generally use 10 pt. font. Sometimes when the information just doesn’t quite fit onto one sheet, I will decrease the font size to 8 pt. or 9 pt. Even the smaller sizes are easy to read.

If the entry is too large to fit onto one page, I add the word “Continued” to the bottom of the first page and to the top of the second page.

If the entry contains a list of items installed or a list of repairs done, I will often place a bullet symbol at the beginning of each item. This makes the entry easier to read rather than a bunch of items listed continuously within a paragraph.
