Changing Logbooks
I'm due for a flight review shortly, so I figure I'll start a new logbook
with that entry. I'm wondering what anyone else does regarding endorsements. I have a high performance endorsement, and I don't know how I should carry it forward. Should I photocopy the page from the old logbook and paste/tape it in the back of the new book? I wouldn't change logbooks just because of a flight review (or even a new rating). Just keep using the old one until you run out of pages. But in any case, when you go to a new logbook, make a note in the new book of the dates and CFIs for all endorsements still needed, and of which logbook they are actually located in. You don't generally have to carry your endorsements with you, just have them. (You don't have to carry your logbook either, in general). There is no harm in pasting a photocopy of an old endorsement in the new logbook. There is great benefit in photocopying (or scanning) your entire logbook and putting the copy in a safe place. Logbooks do get lost. Mine was stolen some twenty years ago. I was fortunate in that I kept a photocopy of every page.

Who would ever want to see it other than maybe an FBO one time so they could record it before they rent you something that required an endorsement? -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Instead of photocopying it, just scan it into a computer and save it in a safe place. You should also think about whether you really need to maintain a physical logbook. There is nothing wrong with keeping the record electronically, especially if you are not working towards a rating or certificate. |

It's twelve years old (I know - I don't fly enough) and I won't get another yer out of it. I figure I'll change now, so I don't have to keep crossing out the '19' at the top of the year column. |

Yep, that's what I have been doing for the last three years using Logbook Pro. Beats having to total all columns after every seven to ten flights or so. I have a physical endorsement sheet that I use for biennials and WINGs-related needs. Someday I might even get around to printing the majority of the log on logbook sized paper for convenient glances. -- Peter |

Yanno, there's just something visceral about turning the pages of a real logbook, with actual ink on paper entries carefully penned over the course of many flying years.

It's like the difference between a genuine celebrity signature penned in their own warm hand, and a the name of the celebrity printed on a page by a cold, mechanical printing press. Cryptic notations from flight instructors past, sweat stained pages from soaring in the desert heat, an FBO receipt laid-in with "Ok to solo" scrawled across it. these subtle obscurities and more chronicle the years with cryptic nostalgia.... The drudge of totaling columns and arithmetic errors be damned. Give me a tangible tome in which to tally my time spent navigating the third dimension. :-) |

Fair enough. However, I am afraid my relatively young age (42) for and late
start to aviation have already caused me to miss the true golden age of aviation (as I alluded to in another thread). Thus to me there is no difference between reading my entries in cold, black&white versus actual ink. Oh, pshaw. Just because your age is the answer to the universe won't prevent you from acquiring a taste for parchment. Besides, you're young - it will take you six more years before you're thirty. (hex.) I suppose if you haven't been flying much, you don't =yet= have a logbook that holds all these memories, but if you start now, you =will= amass such a tome, and in your "old age" it will bring you great satisfaction. Besides, you can read it when the GPS goes TU. Jose -- Get high on gasoline: fly an airplane. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
