Pilot Logbook Corrections

[dragland]

Well, I just filled up my first logbook and I decided to total up all my times in specific aircraft and double check all my times and the only thing I can figure out is that i am so fu(king retatded I cannot even add, and haven't been able to for 8 years now. With that being said, I have screwed up some pages so bad (the totals, not the entries) that there isn't anymore room to write for certain fields. I went to Office Depot and Office Max and neither keeps the green correction fluid or tape. Does anyone have a better way of making corrections in a Jeppeson logbook (green paged one) or am I just going to have to order the correction fluid?

Thanks
Donnie

Something I learned from another board was to do the entries in pen, totals in pencil... the entries are what matters and most of my mistakes were in the totals. Seems like I can't add either (and I'm a civil engineer by education). If you fly a significant amount, end the page at the end of the month... draw a X from one corner of the empty lines to the other and write "END OF MARCH 2006" or whatever month/year after the last entry on that page. I enjoy looking back to see how much I fly each month, it's much easier this way. I've also thrown away my green white-out. Any errors now have a single line through it and the correct information is next to it.

If you're starting a new log, I'd re-tally my old log and write the actual totals in pencil next to the mistakes on every page and carry the new "corrected" numbers over to the new log.

Get a new logbook, a bag of salted, shelled peanuts and a 12 pack of beer.
Eat peanuts, drink beer, watch baseball.
Make girlfriend/wife/mistress reenter everything in your new logbook.

Correction fluid is a bad idea, I wouldn't use it. if you need to change something, make a single line through it, and write in hte corrected number. In a case like yours where you have discovered numerous addition arrors, I wouldn't make any corrections to anything you've already entered. I'd re-add everything, and get the real corrected total, then I would make a one line entry, that adds hte deficiency in each collumn and in the remarks for that line note that this line contains corrections to the totals due to additions errors, then just keep on logging. This method is neat and unobtrusive, it doesn't leave you with whiteout, scratched outnumbers, etc. SOmone looking through your logbook probably wouldn't even notice it, and if they did, so what? it's exactly what you said it is, corretions to the totals.

correction: *some* interviewers spend all of 10 seconds. Some airlines have a very thourough logbook audit.
