Each section contains multiple subsections that clarify certain issues. The report has been divided into two main categories: pilot logs and aircraft logs. Can you log pilot in command (PIC) time when someone is using a vision-limiting device such as foggles? If you fly for 100 nautical miles and land at the departure airport can you log the flight time as a cross country flight? Did you know that you can have your airmen’s certificate(s) suspended just for flying a post-annual rental aircraft? These and many other questions regarding pilot and aircraft logs will be answered in this subject report. This subject report will discuss not only the reasons for logging time, but how, and what type of flight time should be logged. Please call AOPA’s Pilot Information Center with questions – 800-USA-AOPA (872-2672) Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 6:00 ET. Logs should be kept for quick reference when applying for a flying job, as all aviation industry employers will require a certain amount of flight time to even be considered.
Though currency may be an obvious reason to keep flight logs, there are others. Additional currency requirements exist for night flight and tailwheel aircraft, so it's important that we record night flight and time in tailwheel aircraft in separate columns.
For example, keeping track of takeoffs and landings is important because we must make three takeoffs and landings within the preceding 90 days to carry passengers legally. It is important that airmen are aware of regulations related to logbook records to avoid undue fines, or even suspension of their certificate(s).īecause logged time establishes currency and eligibility for additional certificates and ratings, the way we log our time should reflect those requirements. Logbooks represent many things to pilots, including a record of time and training to be used toward future certificates and ratings, as well as currency to comply with various regulations.
