Post by Murph »

Just out of curiosity, what do you bush folks put in your log book when making landings at lakes and other places off the beaten track?

I always put the lake name, or made an abreaviated name for lakes with long names. For instance Wasskiwaka Lake would be called Wass.

if I had to write down every lake I land in a day it will took me half an hour every day to do my log book.

I just write the date, the number of flight and flight time.

Than I'm having a cold drink!!! (B)

I put the name of the lakes places and any other information in my logbook. That way I can look back in it and it will makes me remember where I was. I also have a small camera to take pictures of what I did. ie a boat tied on the side of the plane or something that is out of the norm. That way when I go for an interview and they look through my logbook and have questions, I can show them pictures of what I was doing. It might get me that job I want.

As I have said many times personal logs never really were of much intrest to me when hiring pilots.


But anything that is different is interesting, I would give you a big plus in my impression of you for having something interesting to talk about...numbers in logs are B O R I N G..

Good on you I wish you well.. :D

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no


After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.
