AME LOGBOOKS

[CESSNA100]

I am looking for some advice of you gays.
What is the best and perfect AME LOGBOOK? I heard that the online Transport Canada AME LOGBOOK is rejected for many reason that isn't clear in this form.
What AME LOGBOOK is good? Who sells it and where?
Tnank yuo very much.

Goulet has a logbook for sale that isn't too bad. I didn't have any issues with it. I also bought one from a pilot supply store in Calgary that was pretty good. Had a nice hard cover, looked kinda like a private pilot logbook. Both of these books are easy to use, and are organized using ATA chapters. You could probably look at your local pilot store and ask there.

Don't go with the CAMC one though, it is retarded. It doesn't contain all of the tasks Transport wants to see, and is broken down very badly into the trades that CAMC thinks an AME should be specializing in. Of course, CAMC says that TC accepted the books, and recognizes the trades they have come up with, but I have not found them in CARs as AME licence ratings. ANd of course, the schools push this CAMC logbook as THE logbook of choice.

You could make your own logbook too if you wanted. Just go on CARs, find the list of tasks, and note them in order in a binder. You need what aircraft type and registration you performed the task on, the date you did it, and have an AME sign that you can do the task. Make sure you have a place that lists what schooling you took, when you took it, and the location with approval number. The same goes for where you have worked. It wouldn't be a bad idea to list some of the extra training you have, like any type courses etc. Just don't list all the little "how to fuel this plane and how to plug in ground power to it" courses your shop might give you. They will just annoy someone trying to figure out what you really have done.

Aviation world has a nice one. it has a hard cover, and they print your name on the cover in gold leaf.

This is the one that I have, and most of the "apprentii" around here are also using it. I haven't heard any bad things about it. Organized by ATA chapter, covers pretty much all the tasks, and has blank spaces at the end of each chapter where you can include additional tasks you've done. Also the first few pages give you a space to put your schooling, employers, and any type/post graduate training that might be of interest.

It doesn't much matter what 'book' you use, the only tasks TC will accept are the ones listed here:

http://tcinfo/civilaviation/maintenance ... Rating.htm for "M"

http://tcinfo/civilaviation/maintenance ... Rating.htm for "E"

http://tcinfo/civilaviation/maintenance ... Rating.htm for "S"

If an eligible task from these lists is missing from your book, you can simply add it. If you add a task that is NOT listed, then that's good for you for having done the task but technically it doesn't go towards your 70% requirement. Bummer.

Lot's of vintages and variants of Logbooks out there, but it's only tasks from the eligible list that count.

I was working with a guy that had a log book that was from Air Spray and he had a book that had a page for every work day like a diary. In the back it had a list of all the transport requirement tasks. He had one going for every year and was in the habit of still using it although licensed and not working there anymore he copied it for himself. It was cool and with a AME duty day coming it had a start time and a end time of the day. He would scribble stuff in there and had all kinds of stuff in it. If you asked him what he did three weeks ago he would look in that book and till you. I am making one for me.
