Jeppesen Pro Logbook Entries

[stuckingfk]

I know this has been asked before and I searched around, but I didn't do very well trying to find it so I'll ask again.

For those that have logbooks with extra entries you yourself add in there, what did you add?

I was thinking one being Night PIC, and there are plenty others, but I'm not sure what kind of hours companies are looking for, ie. night PIC, complex, 135 x-country, high performance, multi pic, turbine pic, etc

Thanks

I just recently bought the Pro logbook as well, and I'm probably going to add a section for 135 XC at least. I'd be interested to hear what other folks have to say though.

the only thing I added was a 135 x-c column, i'll add a tailwheel column as soon as I can afford my own Pitts [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

the pilot record totals in the back have a place for jet, turbo-prop and complex time already.

I'm thinking along the lines of multi, turbine SIC, turbine PIC, and maybe Part 121. It's easy enough to tell if it's night AND PIC there are already columns for both, are there not? I have one but am not using it yet as I decided to stick with my starter logbook for the time being. Haven't decided to use it til it's filled completely, or switch to the pro book when I start getting paid to fly (my definition of "pro pilot").

I've added two columns for "Tailwheel" and "Turbine". The "Turbine" column is useful for keeping track of turboprop and turbojet time (a prospective employer would probably want to know this, partly for insurance purposes).

The "Tailwheel" column is for the purpose of aircraft rental. There are still a few FBOs out there that will rent you a taildragger, but they typically require a certain amount of tailwheel experience for solo operations. For example, one business I know of requires 25 hours of tailwheel time and a checkout, OR 10 hours make and model and a checkout. There's also some types of flying jobs (i.e., bush operations, Ag flying, etc.) that may require pilots to have a significant (and well-documented) amount of tailwheel experience.

A "paper" logbook will probably never allow you to break down your flight times in as much detail as a computerized logbook. Some of the computerized versions allow you to record your flight time by make and model of aircraft. (Believe it or not, several of the job applications I've filled out actually want to know this information! This is a bit of a chore to figure out when you have 10,600 hours in 48 different airplane types.)

If I was starting out now, I'd keep a nice paper logbook with a computer backup.

That is what I did, my first entry in the logbook is with a flight I did with my girlfriend, next one was my first as a CFI.
