Just went to get a new logbook and was told there are now only 2 types. The ATC and the ASA logbooks. Does anyone know what happened to the CASA format Logbook and if there are still any available?

You should have bought five at once when you had the chance! :E

The CASA logbooks were replaced by the ASA books. ASA I think were making the CASA logbooks previously. The ASA has some minor improvements I think.
Personally the layout of the ATC cant be beaten!

Or the new professional pilot's logbook now available from ATC. But I agree with jandakotpilot the layout of the ATC is excellent!

Any supplies of the CASA logbook?

Both new ones have wasted areas and lose about 6 lines per page compared to the ole lightblue ones.:(

Speaking of lines per page, how do other people use the lines?
On a big day with a few different legs, do you put 1 leg per line or the whole day to a line?

Not sure about others but being in GA instructing I usually do the one line per flight, and only separate the months by one line and start a new page for a new year.

I have one of the old... old... old logbooks. Methinks I better start trying to put a whole week in each line to make it last! :uhoh:

I use the ATC. Find it the best by far. Don't think I'll ever change. In fact I still have them mailed across to me overseas every 2-odd years.

Flying airline routes I use one line per sector. Helps keep a tidy record especially when you could be flying from A-->B-->A-->C on one day and just C-->A the following day (a different date).

This way I can also clearly record Instrument flying only for the sector I was the Pilot Flying.

Another advantage this has been for me is when 4-5 weeks down the line someone from Flight Safety calls to ask "was it you doing a ROD >900'/min below 500'AGL?" :} ... I know who I was flying with, and I also know who was at the controls even if the other pilot forgot the incident (or we both didn't even notice it).

Back to the logbook... I log one sector per line and leave 4 lines at the end of every month and every year for a monthly/yearly summary and company "rubber stamps". I log ~600-700 hours/year for the past 7 years and I've only just started ATC logbook #4.

:ok:
