Being af domestic pilot sometimes operating into airfields without an ICAO identifier, I use ICAO-identifieres when available - otherwise I use the airfields name in plain text (using at thin pen).

All 3 of the above, e.g. EGCC / MAN / Manchester

You never know who's going to read it.

I use IATA or the full name myself. Don't think it matters particularly so long as you can identify the places.

I use IATA, but just beacuse it saves me a letter each time
:cool:
My logbook (jeppesen) has three examples, wichof two uses ICAO and one uses IATA, so I would say that its optional.

I use the 3-letter IATA, as it at least bears some resemlbance to the name of the airfield.

EGCC / MAN / Manchester

Our company uses IATA on our rosters, but ICAO on all the flight paperwork.
