Complete your UAS logbook as per the squadron's instructions. A QFI will undoubtedly have been joe'd in the past to produce an idiot's guide. Or should have been!!

In parallel, keep a civil Personal Flying Logbook in which you record your flights in accordance with the instructions contained therein. That is, from chocks-to-chocks. For flights in Das Teutor undertaken before you buy a civil logbook, you may not just add 10 minutes to each flight. The CAA allows some percentage credit for 'taxi time' when you submit a military logbook, but, strictly speaking, the 'taxi time allowance' is really only for use in preparing CVs. Whereas you are obliged to record flights correctly in a civil logbook - so I strongly recommend that you buy one and do so!

You do not need any 'periodic summary' totals in your civil logbook; do not permit ask any QFI who does not also hold a civil FI or CRI Rating to countersign anything in your civil logbook as a licence number is required.

Flights must be recorded in a civil logbook 'as soon as practicable' after the completion of the flight - not, as with most UAS studes, when your QFI kicks your bone-idle ar$e for not having completed it for the previous term!

Falsifying entries in a civil logbook is a serious offence - so don't ever be tempted to do so!
