Logbook entries webscript
Hello,
I pratically never post in this group but love to read other people experiences, it is so "enriching". A friend of mine and I wrote a script ( some kind of program ) that allows me to add my logbook entries in a more informal way than my normal paper logbook. You can check it out at http://aviation.duchemin.org For those who have a personal website and would like to get the script going please don't hesitate to let me know and I could send it to you and help you out. I know that there are tons of free and non free softwares available to do the same thing but never found something easy to use and all web enabled. My goal is to get feedbacks from other pilots and enhance the script; right now it's pretty basic and does the job for me but it might not do the job for others. Thanks for sharing your experiences on this group guys and have safe flights ! |

Looks like a good start. Consider changing the color scheme to be a
bit more readable, dark on dark is rough on the ol' eyes. Check out http://www.logshare.com/ while you're at it. A bunch of us use it, and it can export to a machine readable format. Might be worth making an import function to upload that file to for anyone who wants to try yours out. Ben Hallert PP-ASEL |

Except when you're in the air, we generally assume those numbers are equal.

Often overlooked, night takeoffs are required for currency. Jose -- Quantum Mechanics is like this: God =does= play dice with the universe, except there's no God, and there's no dice.

What does make sense is counting night takeoffs and night landings. Often overlooked, night takeoffs are required for currency. True, sort of. Why "sort of? For many pilots one still doesn't need to track those separately. I only log a night landing as such if I also had a night takeoff. I can't rule out that I may one day actually wake up early enough to have a night takeoff without a night landing, but it has never happened, and seems very unlikely. So I can safely log restrict my logging of night landings to those that also include a night takeoff, and ensure compliance with the night currency rules without sacrificing any night landings that might otherwise have been useful. Pilots who may have night takeoffs without night landings may find they need the "day takeoff, night landing" flights to be logged more precisely. However, I do suspect that for most of THOSE pilots, they are flying so much, maintaining night currency isn't really much of an issue however they log it. Oddly enough, the paper logbooks I've seen don't actually provide an easy way to track night currency (I put all of my landings in the same column, but water and night landings use a special notation to distinguish them). But I do have a "Night Landings" column in my Excel spreadsheet (and no record of takeoffs at all). Pete |

You can also have the pilot controlling the airplane during the
takeiff, and the co-pilot controlling the airplane during the landing. Me and my instructor have done this a few times. My night takeoff total and my night landing total are probably a little different. |
