Logging Of Hours
Icarus53 I just happen to know the young pilot who posted that query. Just for your info he already has a Part1 Type Rating on a heay turbo-prop, one that is heavier than a DHC8.
Newpic I would suggest you run 2 log books in parallel, one to conform with Aust. CAO's and the other that would be in line with International standards.
Logging P1US is the norm in the Uk and Singapore if one has a Part1 type endorsement.
Hopefully one day CASA will wake up and bring us in line with the rest of the world after all it took them decades to scrap the 5 types of Instrument Ratings and the requirement to be in an airline before one held an ATPL.
