Questions:
1. What do you log for instrument time? I can't possibly remember a year ago a 1.9 flight now much was instrument. It wants to default to the entire flight time but that wouldn't be accurate lol
2. Along the same lines.. I can't possibly remember every single approach. Of course I remember the first one.. runway 13 at DFW. And some stand out for whatever reason.. but most are a blur.
3. I'm assuming that A: the little crew-outfitters logs you jot things down in would be laughed out of the interview. And B:you can't contact your current airline for a print out of your records?
4. Back to my earlier statement- what are captains years behind but wanting to get out do? I can catch up a year somewhat quickly....
A. 1 year isn't too bad.
1. & 2.
IF every flight defaults your entire flight time to actual instrument time... Preferences -> Time -> under "Actual Inst" unclick "Auto fill from total time". If you can't remember what the actual time or the approach was... you might want to start "to remember" and fill in accordingly. Keep in mind that an IAP should have actual time and a logged landing. We can argue this, but that is my preference. You might want to start logging these in your L10 or your red book in the blank cells. Your end game here is to be able to fill in the "Number of IAPs within # months" accurately.
3. Start with whatever past months Flica still has... good luck getting anyone on the phone at YV (personal experience).
4. I used a 3rd party that ill pm you. They imported almost 8 years of my logbook entries, pointed out some errors, and I kept my written logs with me the entire time. There were some additional errors that were written in my logbook that imported into the software (garbage in, garbage out) but what can you do.
