Filling out log-book correctly
 

Hi there
i hope this is in the correct forum section

Im a vr in my uas and counting up the hours for my ppl(hopefully soon)

Ive been told to, at end of each term, to count up and get them signed of by cfi. It seems that not even the cfi knows specifiaclly how to do this as well as other instructors.

Ive been logging under three headings: course hours (dual and solo)
non course (dual and solo)
and total dual and solo
for each academic term

my question is: are the total hours meant to include total hours for entire flying career at uas or just that term.

Obviously it makes more sense to just sign them off for each term.
If so how can i get a total accumulated hour count (other then in columns in bottom of book which also ask for totals) or add them up manually

this must seem a bit ambiguous-in summary-for each term, do i total complete eft/non eft hours added to hours accumulated that term or just hours accumulated each term.

Im grateful for a response as im getting so so so so many different stories and such have ruined by book with tipexx.

Having never seen a log book before properly filled in im a bit lost

thankx
