Logging Time: Each leg?

[PositionandHold]

Do you guys log each and every leg in your master log book? It's time to update my logbook and though I of course log each leg in my daily/crew log, I'm trying to figure out a less tedious way to do this.

 

[Metro752]

I log each trip/aircraft change. Shoot me if this is a bad way to do it.

30 NOV, YIP YYZ YIP SHV BJX LRD, 823AA

26 NOV, YIP GRR, 827AA
26 NOV, GRR MCI, 822AA


EH?

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Good way to do it.

i log by day, using the first flight number of the day as the ident. i preffer using the flight number vs ship number incase there is a pay/other issue later.

6311 XYZ-ABC-XYZ-ABC-XYZ

 

[Metro752]

Where I'm at now, the a/c number is the flight number, JUS822, etc. I see what you're saying though. The logbook I have has a space for flight# as well.

 

[Booker]

I log day-by-day, only because that's how APDL/LBP imports it. If they offered a by-tail-number option, I'd probably switch to that.

 

[Mike man]

APDL/LBP has a leg by leg option too.

i log by day

 

[Big Foot]

I go by day with the tail number of the first A/C in and the flightnumbers in the remarks section

 

[John Pennekamp]

Leg by leg at 6 legs a day? YGBSM. I do it per day, one line per day.

For example:

12/1 AT7 N630AS ATL MYR ATL AGS ATL PFN 6.8 yada yada yada...

 

[Cpt Oveur]

but you yada yada'ed over the best part

 

[John Pennekamp]

but you yada yada'ed over the best part

No, I mentioned the bisque.

 

[John Pennekamp]

but you yada yada'ed over the best part

And as for the logbook, well, "that's the way we did it on the Connie, Son".

 

[flyer172r]

I do it by day/aircraft swap. If we keep the same aircraft all day, that's one line. If not, each plane goes on a separate line.

 

[flyf15]

I'm with most of the other replies. New line everytime I have an aircraft, day, or crew change (I like to be able to know how much I've flown with specific people).

 

[Terry Hunter]

One day at a time... I write multiple ship no's in the A/C no, but sometimes, only the first A/C number of that day. I also write the name of the other pilot in the remarks section, and ask him/her to sign it. Just kidding.

 

[alchemyst6]

I must be the oddball here. I do one entry per month in my master logbook. The monthly times are backed up with a leg-by-leg printout from ADPL and logbook pro. I sure hope I'm not screwing myself in the future here...

 

[Beaufighter]

I do it the long & painful way...each & every leg with the "N" number & A/C Serial Number. If anything, it is fun to look back on the flight history. It also made quite a positive impression at my last interview.

 

[Way2Broke]

I log every leg, because I am trying to fill up my first log book (one of those thick ones) so I can put it in safe keeping. After it is full I will change to the daily/aircraft change method.

 

[Muff-N-Man]

I do one entry per day. I use either the first a/c I flew, or the one I flew most that day (the rest are in my little black book if I need to know that). To/from is the city I started in and the one I RON. In the remarks, I list the individual flight numbers with the city pairs, and the unfortunate FO.

I just interviewed at Delta, and they didn't have a problem with it. He spent a good bit of time in there looking at how many Christmasses I'd flown.

If you still have access to records that show the aircraft number, I'd get them and put them in. What you're logging right now does not meet the logbook requirements of FAR 61.51:


(a) Training time and aeronautical experience. Each person must document and record the following time in a manner acceptable to the Administrator:
(1) Training and aeronautical experience used to meet the requirements for a certificate, rating, or flight review of this part.
(2) The aeronautical experience required for meeting the recent flight experience requirements of this part.
(b) Logbook entries. For the purposes of meeting the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section, each person must enter the following information for each flight or lesson logged:
(1) General --
(i) Date.
(ii) Total flight time or lesson time.
(iii) Location where the aircraft departed and arrived, or for lessons in a flight simulator or flight training device, the location where the lesson occurred.
(iv) Type and identification of aircraft, flight simulator, or flight training device, as appropriate.







So if you plan on using anything in that logbook to document experience for another certificate or rating, or even to demonstrate that you're current, it needs to include the aircraft identifier. I'd save the flight number for the remarks section.

I used to do it by day or a/c swap. But now that we swap every two legs of our eight leg days, I just do it by day with the first a/c of the day.
