Australian/UK log books
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me what the situation is with logbooks when converting an Oz PPL into (hopefully) a JAR CPL/fATPL.
Can I keep using my CASA logbook?
Do I need to somehow transcribe my Oz logbook into a UK one?
Or do I just start on a UK logbook now and carry the Oz one around with me?
Any help gratefully recieved.
PS - as well as the legal requirements will future employers actually get picky about logbook neatness in an employment situation?
Regards,
UTR

I can't see any reason not to. I just carried on using my Oz log book till it was full.
No employer has commented on it's messiness or any thing. They like looking at the photos.

I continued to use my Oz log book. CAA & employer never even blinked. Conveniently I finished it on my last working day there. Now I'm starting another Oz book here in the US. No one worried about an Oz log book years ago when I got a US ATP, and no one worried when I added US floaties to it a couple of months ago.
There is nothing in the UK Air Navigation Order that requires any particular style of logbook, provided that the necessary information is recorded.
However, in a couple of years time, EASA will take over from the JAA and enshrine the contents of JAR-FCL into European law, which supersedes national law in all EU member states. This means that, where there is a conflict between the UK ANO and EASA standards, the EASA standards will be supreme, which may impact on the design and content of a pilot logbook acceptable in Europe.
