Logging UK flying hours in an Aussie logbook

[flyinghigh85]

Hi crew, I'm looking at doing some flying in the UK (under instruction) and want to log those hours in my Aussie logbook. My logbook contains GA single/multi hours and the flying I'd be doing in the UK will be GA (dual instruction flight).

Or do I need to log all UK flying hours in a different logbook?

Thanks for the help

Your pilot log book is your personal record of your flying. If you are flying in different countries, good for you. If you undertake a check flight etc. if you can obtain a rubber stamp from an organisation to verify anything you have flown, good for you.
The country in which a log book may have been printed has no relevance. Make the most of it.

I've never bothered about it nor seen any reference to having to. Besides, some logbooks such as Jeppesen(?) are 'country neutral' anyway.

You could log all your private flying in a pocket diary or a school exercise book, or on the back of beer coasters, provided that you correctly annotated the time as dual, PIC, single, multi etc. and the aircraft rego, route etc But if you already have a CASA style logbook, that’s OK.

A difference is that over there they also log the start and stop time (so it can be audited with ATC records) and is usually in hours and minutes rather than decimals. You can do it their way or log it the Aussie way, it's up to you.

awesome! I appreciate all the responses...

Met a bloke from the UK who laughed(out loud) that I logged my flight time in decimals and not in hours:minutes.
Aside from him being a knob, it doesn't matter what format or style your logbook is in - it's your record of your flying hours.

Exactly as Mach E Avelli said.

I just used my Aussie one. Now I use EASA ones. No one's asked to see it for years. These days I use Logten Pro and back it up with the written one.

Are their Engine VDO and Flight Switch running in hh:mm format?

that I logged my flight time in decimals

Company policy in every Company for whom I ever worked.

With regard to the OP; I log all my time flown in Japan in the same CASA style Log book I use here.

Our FMS gives us the flight time in hours:minutes. We convert that to decimal for the Aircraft Flight Log (EASA).

When I was flying there we only had the tacho so you used your watch to record start and stop times, which are also included in the log book, hence hour:minute format.

I switched from hours and minutes to decimal hours when I moved from the UK to Canada in the 1970s. A huge decrease in logbook arithmetic errors was a major benefit. I've never looked back. :)

If you use an electronic logbook like LogTen Pro, you can print it out in any logbook format; eg Air Services Australia logbook format, Jeppesen FAA, Canada TC etc
