Log book setups and ideas please.
Hi all,
New to jet turbines and close to flying my first, Rookie 11 with Behotec J66.
What are you using for logbooks and what do you log and keep track of ???
Does the AMA have any log books in there inventory ???
All ideas greatly recieved,
cheers Jay.

Here is a great flight log you can use from your PC or laptop to keep track of your planes or jets.

RE: Log book setups and ideas please.
I simply have a Microsoft Word doc for each aircraft, containing a table with columns for date, # flights on that day, cumulative # flights on the airframe, cummulative # flights on the engine, and any issues and/or corrective action taken. The latter is useful for e.g. seeing how many flights it's been since I last lubed the brakes, when did I last cycle or replace batteries, etc.

I do the same as Gordon, except on an excell spreadsheet as I can add or delete columns of info as necessary. I didn't find anything commercially available that fit my needs, so I rolled my own. I print out a blank page and fill in the relevent info after each flight at the field, then enter it in the computer when I get home..it automatically gives my the total run time...

Lee Reightler the JPO Dist. IV Rep has log books he sells at cost. They, or a version of them, are required by AMA rules for holding a waiver. Email him at [email protected] for details and to order.

RE: Log book setups and ideas please.
You're kidding...........and does the AMA require a logbook? Is some from the AMA going to come up to you at a jet event or your local field and ask to see your logbook. In my opinion if you really want to fill out a logbook go get you pilot's license, then that way what you enter in the logbook will really matter. Just my 2 cents worth.

You're all sad plane spotters and should be flying / building / having a beer / taking care of your bird, instead of filling in log books!

Yesterday I put in 5 flights on my Bobcat, 5 on my Bandit, drove 90 miles home, updated my logs, did some work on my Hunter and popped a beer, all by 3pm !

Hey Gordon, you still forgot to give your bird a seeing to! (sorry this may be geting lost in translation - bird = girlfriend / wife / mistress / next door neighbour (delte as applicable). Of course in these days of politicl correctness all of the above could be male / female / other (again delete etc).
But then again you could just be being polite and not mentioned it!

My wife was away for the weekend, and it would be improper of me to mention anything that the mice did while the cat was away.

RE: Log book setups and ideas please.
Do you have to keep a log or is it just for your own interest? The NZMAA turbine rules suggest it's a good idea but it's not mandatory:

How about a school exercise book & a ball point pen? The regs above suggest what would be useful information - John.

Hi Boomerang1,
Yes you are correct, the NZMAA dont feature in this--- its more for my own interest and to keep track of stuff--- one thing im keen to know with the Americans is what they log--- and yes a school book and pen is the current way for my flying logs---- but was hoping to move into the 21st century with something a bit better !!!!!!
Cheers Jay.

RE: Log book setups and ideas please.
As of the other day, a slight change to the wording of the AMA document reguarding the log book. The bold text is the new text.
Pilot Requirements
22. An experienced turbine pilot is defined as a pilot who has completed 20 or more turbine flights during the preceding 24 months and who has a current turbine waiver affidavit on file with the AMA. For confirmation purposes, the pilot is required to keep a written log of all flights [b]and will provide copies to AMA upon request.[b]

Well gentlemen,
if and when the big bad AMA comes knocking on my door for logbook entries, I'm sure that I can re-call atleast 20 flights in the past 2 years, other than that I'm not waisting my time on such foolishness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terry,
What kind of information where they looking for in a logbook?
I am surprised that they require a logbook and don't provide a format for required information. I personally have no problem with keeping a logbook, but I would hate to run into the same problem you had.
