Bob, the Section 7 column headings in my 3rd logbook were amended 'i.a.w. App 3 to Annex B to 38GTO-109' in October 1996 as follows:
Column 3 'Duty or Practice' became 'Captain or Co Pilot'
Column 6 (previously a repeat of column 1) became 'total time'
Column 7&8 (previously repeats of column 2&3) became 'Exercise / Duty'
Column 9 (previously a repeat of column 4) became 'IF App'
Column 10 (previously a repeat pf column 5) became 'IF time'
Initially I used to log each sim session whether 'own' or 'instructional' on separate lines. But that used up Section 7 too quickly, so then I only logged 'own' sim rides on single lines and a monthly total of instructional 'console' time:
However, it sounds like 'synthetic' time has now been moved to Section 5? Perhaps just a monthly summary would suffice, with other details remaining in Section 7?
