CrewLounge PILOTLOG prints 75 different logbook formats. These can be divided in three categories :
- official state logbooks, issued by the local aviation authorities
- published logbooks, issued by Jeppesen, ASA, and other companies
- generic logbooks, printing paper-size filled
All these logbooks come with typical columns, like Departure and Arrival airfields, Name of Pilot-in-Command, function and condition time, and Remarks. The logic is straight forward.
The following logic applies to all logbooks printed with CrewLounge PILOTLOG :
Logbook Column | Notes |
PIC Time | PIC time includes PIC, PICus, SPIC and SOLO, unless there is a separate column for PICus, SPIC and/or SOLO in the same logbook |
SIC Time | SIC time is only printed for multi-pilot aircraft |
DUAL Time | DUAL time is always considered "Received". Instructor time may go to "DUAL Given" if DUAL and Instructor time are logged on the same flight. |
Day / Night | PILOTLOG does not have a field for recording Day time. You should not create a user time field either. Instead, Day time is automatically calculated as Total Time minus Night Time logged on the flight. |
VFR Time | PILOTLOG does not have a field for recording VFR time. You should not create a user time field either. Instead, VFR time is automatically calculated as Total Time minus IFR Time logged on the flight. |
Next, we cover certain logbooks with some more complex logic:
L021 - South-Africa - CAA
Logbook Column | Flight | Simulator | |
(6) | Nav Aids | Type of approaches logged on this flight | |
(7) | Place | Arrival Airfield | (empty) |
(8) | Actual Time | Actual Instrument time + Simulated Instrument time | (empty) |
(9) | FSTD Time | (empty) | Total Time of simulator session |
(12) | FSTD Time | (empty) | Examiner time, else Instructor time |
(13) | FSTD ACTUAL TIME | (empty) | Total Time of simulator session |
