Hi,
I have two logbooks at the moment and I wanna make sure that I fill out the hours correctly in jeppesen logbook. I have an Australian logbook and the way the hour is counted is different from my country. For example, 1 hour 30 minutes is 1.5 in Australia but in my country it is 1 hour 30 minutes. I have about 184.2 in my Australian logbook and now I have to fill out the hours differently from my previous logbook onto new logbook. Do I just take the hours as it is from my old logbook and put it in the AMOUNT FORWARDED row and work from there? Under the AIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE LAND column, there are two sub-columns, so do I put the hour in the first sub column and the minute in the second sub column? How can I do this correctly?
Cheers

It is your personal logbook - do whatever suits you, just be self consistent.

I have never come across any authority unhappy with any of decimal time, nearest minute, or (most commonly) nearest 5 minutes. Whilst some logbooks may be designed around a particular system, that doesn't change this.
