[b]Logbooks[/b]

For what it's worth, I work in a lawfirm and we had to order medical records for a client.  The place from which we ordered the records told us the client's records release HAD to be signed in blue.  Then, we closed on our house last year and the title company people insisted that we sign the docs in blue.  I'm sure all of this dealt with distinguishing original from copy.

I always filled out my logbook with a black finepoint ballpoint, just because I liked it better.  There are plenty of entries in blue, by myself and others.  Apart from accuracy, what matters is neatness and organization because your logbook is a reflection of you.

Watch out what you put in your logbook.  A pilot I met who became a friend had died.  I wrote it in the back of my logbook.  This was long before I considered a professional aviation career.  Later, at an interview, I was asked about it and had to explain.  To the best of my recollection, that was the only question I ever faced about my logbooks at an interview.  I brought them to every interview and recall being asked to present them twice, maybe three times.

I had to bring my logbooks to FSDO when it came time to be signed off to take the ATP.  The inspector made a comment that I couldn't log some of my time as cross country.  I still had enough time.  Afterwards, I made the adjustment with a one-line entry, with attribution to the inspector by name.
