Log books in the plane on a long trip?
I'm going on a 2 week cross country with my plane and had a thought
that if I need any work done during the trip I should have my logs with me. I normally keep them at home but maybe being far from home like this I should have them with me. I like them safe at home, but I think this situation has to be an exception. Agree? |

Can't imagine why you'd need 'em. Take a copy if it makes you feel better. Leave the originals at home. DGB I've heard of folks that get their logs duplicated onto CDs, then just take the CD with them. That way, the originals are still safe at home. There are companies that will scan the logs for you, but you'll have to trust them with your books... -- Mark Hansen, PP-ASEL, Instrument Student Sacramento, CA |

Absolutely not. The risk/reward ratio is far too low. Nothing says that
you have to have the work in your permanent logbook; a piece of paper with the work accomplished and the mechanic's signature can certainly be stapled to the rear cover of the logbook along with your notation when you get back home that there was this and that work done, date, work order, and a reference to look at the last page of the logbook.

Leave the logs at home. The only time I EVER take my logs out is during
annual. Normal work during the year can be done by getting a sticker from the A&P and putting that in the logs when you get home. If you let an A&P see your logs, he'll charge you for several hours of labor to read the entire logs. Only during an annual does the mechanic have a reason to look at your logs. |

US$80.- at most) and spend a few hours scanning your stuff (I found that at 300 dpi grayscale, I got a pretty good ratio quality/storage space -- incredible the amount of things you can stuff this way onto a CD-R); now you can even improve the idea by encrypting the info before burning it into the CD (I also scan other papers, e.g., certificates, passport, etc.) and you are all set for far less than what any company might charge you... --Sylvain |
