Flyvirgin - yes, only 80 to go! If you can make as many of these P1 as you will be often asked "total time" and "P1 time". This is often why folk go to the US or abroad to "hour build".

To the rest of this thread - if you log accurately, consistently and truthfully you will always have a clear conscience and never have to worry about your log book (just like the tax return!).

Choose and stick with one of the following:
  • Log in Hours:Minutes (e.g. 1:42) - will log every minute
  • Log in Hours.Decimal (e.g. 1.7 for 1 hour 42 mins) - will end up with some rounding up / down
Start the timer at the same point and end it at the same point always, e.g.
  1. Brakes off / Brakes on
  2. Takeoff minus X minutes to landing plus X minutes (X= 6 minutes at Cabair)
  3. Engine start to Engine off is another option, as technically you are in charge of the plane all the time the engine is turning!
