The results of not flying... Your Logbook, please?
For example, I am a perfectionist about my logs. Everything gets
logged, no mattter how seemingly insignificant. Gas? Air in the tires? A quart of oil? I said I was a perfectionist, not crazy. ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

oups.com... On the other hand, why would you need to? The plane's logbooks tell the real story. You have tach hours at annuals, oil changes, and other maintenance. I think that provides a better and more accurate view into the flying history of the plane. If the airplane has a journey log, fine. But if all you have is hours between annual, that's not very useful. A plane that's flown an hour twice a month is a better bet than one that's flown 6 hours every 4 months. Well you got me there. I was thinking of the difference between 20 hours a year and 200 hours a year. It would take a little detective work to determine the nature of flying as little as 24 hours a year. But I'm not sure I would care what the answer was. I'm going to have the engine inspected pretty closely before buying. ------------------------------- Travis Lake N3094P PWK |

wrote: .stuff snipped I've known numerous pilots that have rescued ramp queens that had been sitting for years. Most of the engines "ran fine" soon after the resurrection was complete. It was usually 50-100 hrs. down the road that the corrosion damage to the cam got bad enough to be obvious. .stuff snipped I am wondering if it would be considered in bad taste to ask a prospective seller to produce his/her personal logbook (or the books of those flying the beast) in order to establish the plane's flying history? You can check the plane's books to get a history of hours between annuals. You keep a log book? The only thing I log is what is required for currency. I just give the insurance company tac hours. snip Roger (K8RI) |

I thought so. Maybe I missed something in training. I'll look it up. Anyone have the specific regs that require this or suggest it is not required? I wonder if the insurance company would ever ask you to "prove" you flew those hours you recorded off the tach? Maybe after an accident... Thanks for any info. Mike |

Student pilot is a different story. I wonder if the insurance company would ever ask you to "prove" you flew those hours you recorded off the tach? Maybe after an accident... Thanks for any info.

I put a note of some kind about the flight ; who went along, etc. My logbook
is my flying diary, and it's fun to read back through it and remember who, when and where. Me, too. I've got a line or two written for every flight I've ever taken, all the way back to my first lesson. It's become the narrative of my life, in many ways. Reading the old log books is great fun, and brings back many wonderful (and sometimes scary) memories... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
