Having looked at the new Pilots Logbook Section 5, as illustrated by BV, I can only empathise with those who have to fill in this monster! It appears now that two logbooks have been condensed into one, with 'Live' and 'Synthetic' times entered and carried forward separately. By the same token presumably the monthly summaries will similarly show these two rows of Live and Synthetic times to be signed for by the pilot and endorsed by the OC and Flt Cdr.
What about WSO(p)'s? Have their Logbooks been similarly republished for their sim times to be signed for and endorsed on a monthly basis?
Whilst the ever growing importance of Sim Training is clear, both for continuation and operational training, and the cost savings in reduced flying hours that result, the accurate recording of such Sim time is clearly vital. Is this part of the fallout of the SI into the Red's accident that found major discrepancies in such recording?
