Re: Pilot log books
 

One comment about all electronic log books - As an instructor its damn hard to sign up your biennial flight, and I cant place my differences training stickers anywhere unless you have a separate sheet to collect them on!!!

So I always advocate running the two - at least you always have a backup should the other fail/be stolen/lost/burnt/lost by the CAA/lost by the post office..... :suspect:

FF: any chance you could post (or point at) a scan of a blank page of the Pooley's pro logbook?

Jeppesen book is the best

PPL -> ATPL suitable logbook?
 

Hi there,

I am about to start my PPL which will hopefully lead to the additional ratings to go commercial. I have bought the following log book but would appreciate some advice on whether it is suitable for PPL level. My idea was to buy a logbook that would be suitable for me for PPL through to ATPL. Is this a good/bad idea? Is this logbook overkill? Does it really matter ;) I didn't realise it was quite so big! Should have probably read the dimensions but i thought log books were all fairly similiar and a lot smaller!

Thanks for your help,

David.

The Jeppesen books are rather massive, but certainly there's no reason you can't use that for private flying - you just may well have lost your medical at the age of 90 before you've filled more than a quarter of it up.

In general, professional logbooks are much bigger. Comparing the two on my desk, my Airtour professional book (pretty much the same as CAP 407) is twice the page size and half again as thick as the increasingly scruffy Pooleys PPL logbook book which actually goes with me and gets filled in at the airfield before being copied up (just the way I work).

At PPL flying rates, I'd guesstimate that a professional logbook will probably fill at about 2000hrs, and a PPL logbook at about 500.
