I find the simplist way is to add everything on my calculator in minutes.

ie. Take whole number of hours brought forward onto the page (ignore the minutes), and to it the whole number of hours flown on that page (ignore the minutes), then multiply that answer by 60, to convert that to minutes.

Then go back and add to that sum, the minutes brought forward to that page, and add the minutes flown on that page.

You now have your total time in minutes. So just divide that by 60, to get the hours. This gives you the whole hours flown to date. Subtract the whole hours, and you will be left with everything after the decimal point. Multiply this by 60, to get the minutes part of the total.

No special calculator needed, and simple and easy to do

Hope that helps!
