I keep the CAP 398, 399 and 400 entries on an excel spreadsheet - makes the adding up easier. As I transfer this information into the CAA log books for the upteenth time, can some tell me in this electronic age whether they really still have to be hand written - or is there a better way?

Are there any electronic representations of these CAPs anywhere please? I presume we're talking here about what happens to the entries I make into the 'techlog' at my club when I rent a/c?
(I'm going to make e-logbooks capable of storing this stuff soon).

Thanks - but do you think an electronic form would be approved by the CAA - I know they have approved one version of the personal log. I wonder if you print the excel spreadsheet in a size to stick in the book this would count!? I wonder what flying schools do - I cant believe they all write up the CAPs by hand from the club booking sheets?

For insomniacs, the ANO Part III section 17 (2) refers, and states:-
"The log books.... shall be of a type approved by the CAA"
It also adds in sub-section 4 "Any document which is incorporated by reference in a log book shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Order, to be part of the log book"
As most engineering firms now add a line at maintenance along the lines of "Work held on file at XYZ under file ref ABC", then if these are on a computer, you potentially have the solution - in the logbook add an entry along the lines of "Flight details held on system UVW in file DEF"
In any case, I an not a lawyer, so it looks like a call to Gatwick, on the basis there is nothing mentioned on the CAA website (sigh..)
