Logbook question
I’ve had a look in Lasor’s, but with no joy so maybe someone here can help.
What do you write down in your log book about landing at a private site?
Private site?
Also are you aloud to land at private sites at night?
By private site I mean something like a pub field or privately owned field, with the land owners permission away from houses.
And of course the aircraft is rated for night

I just wrote down the Lat and Long (when GPS was finally invented!) Prior to that, if I could be bothered to find out, the Grid reference. Most times just field etc. Trust me, during SAR, we landed in some weird and wonderful locations. (Including the 'Hanging Sporran' car park on the Isle of Skye! Time for a quick one M'Ludd?)
Don't get too bogged down in the trivia. No-one really cares. Except that woman who will hit you with an ASBO if you don't land quietly!

These days I just write down the most obvious name, i.e. name of the town or village. If there's no airfield mentioned, by definition it must have been a private HLS. If it's an airfield landing, I log the ICAO code.

Sorry pal, can't pass this by. Amazing!
Location
Oh, a greengrocer I assume?
Well, departure and arrival place of course, as required by the ANO, what else??? What the Hell else could you write - why in the name of Heaven is this a valid question?
Eh? Greengrocer's grammar AGAIN!!??
Eh??? Oh dear!
Er, under whose noisy regulations are you questioning this? Any well known country? ...I thought not.
Oh, and there is another sort?
Pal, don't give up your day job, and in the meantime,please learn the most basic rules of aviation, spelling and grammar.
Byee!

Landing at private sites, eg pubs, at night, with a little experience, should be no problem.
Taking off again from private sites, eg pubs, at night..........
as you load the chick at the bar into the passenger seat
as you walk to the pilot seat
as you look for the flight manual (you forgot the start sequence)
as you lift off
as you see the wire
as you miss the wire
as you turn to the chick
en route
en route
en route
as you manage to pull off a landing (at the next pub?)
when you find out the chick to be a chap

(1) Same as we do in fixed wing when we land at a private site - any clearly identifiable name: Ardrossan Beach, Compleat Angler...
(2) Flight ops is an abbreviation of flight operations, so more correctly is written "flight op's" since the apostrophe replaces the missing letters. Technically speaking, the norm is wrong, and "flight op's" is right. (Okay, lasor's is definitely wrong however.)
(3) Many helicopters are on Permits to Fly - for example ex-military Scouts, or homebuilt Rotorways. A Permit doesn't permit night flying, hence the aircraft isn't rated for night.
