1. In Column 1, should the 'Month' be written in numbers or words?
usually, wat i've seen is that the month is entered in words..ie APR,JUN etc.. also a new innovative style that i've seen and is acepted by DGCA is to write the name of the month vertically in the column in full.
eg.
A
P
R
I
L .. so dat u dont hav to write the name of the month repeatedly..
2. In Column 2, what goes under 'Type' and 'Engines'?
Type- PA28, C172, C152.
Engines- Single/Multi
3. Are actual names expected in columns 3 and 4?
yes they are expected.
write in the pilot/instructors name. nd wherever your name comes ,put in SELF.
nd u cn just write in ur instructors initial with surname in the other column. eg. J Doe
4. Are 4-letter airports (KMIA) acceptable in Column 5 under 'From' and 'To'?
yeah, they are acceptable.. kmia, klax, kftw ..

5. Lastly, how are flight times entered? On the adjacent page, at the bottom right corner, the flight time that goes under 'Actual Flying Hours to be carried forward' would be the same as the total flight time that goes under 'PIC' or 'Co-pilot' (6 and 7)
Yes, the actual hours to be carried forward= DAY (Dual+PIC) + Night(dual+pic) + multi (day [dual+pic]+ night [dual+pic] )
remember NOT to add in the instrument hours into this.. i've seen many people screw up their logbooks bcoz of this.
FYI- all this info i have given u is out of experience. I did the same nd got my FAA CPL cinverted to an Indian one using the EBS logbook..

@captain-planet, thanks!
Under 'Engines', instead of writing 'single' or 'multi', wouldn't it make better sense to put 'turbo-propeller' or 'turbojet' or 'piston'?
I say this because it would be redundant putting in 'single/multi', when that is going to be indicated on the adjacent page under 'Single-Engine/Multi-Engine Aircraft'.
Don't you think?
Also, a flight time of 5 hours and 30 minutes would be written as 5:30, rather than 5.5. Correct?

Okay, heres a question a friend of mine wants to know.
Well he is an Indian Citizen. He completed his FAA CPL ME IR and recently CFI rating in USA.
Well he now has returned back and will be going back to USA on a Visitor Visa.
Now i know that if he rents a plane for solo flying or flying as PIC he can do so and also log those hours.
But will he be legal in logging hours as a CFI when a PPL is flying with him?
Remember he is on a Visitors and does not have work authorization. He isnt doing it for money either, just hour building.

Provided further that instructor is
1) not teaching a student pilot for initial certificate (Excluding Gliders).
1) not teaching for issue of an IR Certifcate
2) not teaching for issue of a Multi Engine Certificate
For 1), 2) & 3) the learner pilot (if an alien) will need TSA clearance and the instructor must have passed the TSA online course on security. if learner is a US citizen, the Instructor must make sure that the learner has appropriate TSA endorsement in his logbook.

You are right, curiously though the immigration officials use the specific term "gainful employment" which excludes volunteer work, for example with appropriate waivers aliens can join the CAP.
In this particular case (in the discussion)the person will not be violating any federal immigration laws. Only thing he needs is proper insurance to make sure that the flight school or aircraft leaser is happy.

Multi Time
I am flying in US and am filling up my indian logbook.
i have completed my ppl and ir . Now i am on to my Multi Training for CPL.
So now in what column shall i enter the Multi Time that i am flyin with my instructor.... i have 4 columns Dual, PIC, CoPilot, PI (US). i am confused as to where should i enter this time.
Also once i get the checkride done, i think the check ride should go in PIC and everything after that as well in PIC, right?
Reply early as possible, especially IndAir and Shanx.
Thankyou.

Hi,
trained in the US, about to convert my license and naturally am filled with questions, a few pertaining to the logbook.
1.Is an Indian logbook required/recommended?
2.What all counts as PIC time? I have 82 solo, around 180 PIC and around 165 dual. Now dual after PPL isn't considered PIC in India?
3.One entire entry in my logbook has been struck out, and one column on another entry has been "whitened out". How much of a problem would these cause?
Anything else i should know?
Thanks a lot for your time!

dual done anytime is dual only, may you do that after ppl or cpl
One entire entry in my logbook has been struck out, and one column on another entry has been "whitened out". How much of a problem would these cause?
i have seen people whose every page of logbook have corrections and still got the licence with ease
but not too many correction please on one page

In the Logbooks we have a Column for FROM and One for TO. What to do when the flight has been to more than 2 airports, like in the case of the 250NM XC. How do i write it?
Eg. If this is the Route taken KMIA - KLAL - KPBI - KMIA how to fill in the logbook in one entry?
I know i could put it as different flights on the same day but i want to know in the case of a 250NM check n all.
Thanks
