Plog - what plog.

Twin glass screens. twin Garmins, one button and full FPL will all estimates, my only problem is remembering not to give estimates to the exact minute so as not to look a complete pr**.

Do you really keep a hand written plog. It is very quaint!
Same kit (well, kit with same features, I don't know what you've got). And I do have a hand written piece of paper as well. (On which I rarely bother to fill in the actual times, to be honest, so given blank screens I would be slightly challenged if asked for an instant ETA, in real life.)

I explained this to a retired examiner thus: "I work in computers, I know too much about them to believe that all the screens can't go blank at once".

He said "I'm not going to try to claim that they can't; my son flies A380s and he knows perfectly well that all the screens do sometimes go blank at once".
