For instance, I can log the flight over to the next airport (10NM) as XC as it meets the definition but I can’t use it towards a certificate or rating which requires 50NM, therefore most will not log it as such.
‘Sole manipulator’ is to meet the currency requirements.
I wouldn’t change a thing if I were you, I did the same thing as you did.
Primary instruction I logged every landing.
Log what you like, use what you need.
Yeah, that seems to be the consensus among people here in this thread and where I’ve asked it elsewhere. I mentioned that I have a friend who’s currently at a major airline who I asked for his advice. He texted me back, “I logged every single one of those landings, I have thousands of landings lol. Don’t over think it.”
I talked with a gentleman who works for an aviation career consulting company and he used the word “nothingburger.”
I do already have my ATP, completed through a Part 142 training center. They didn’t bring up my landings, so there’s that.
What I will do for now is on a separate piece of paper I will write out the dates and the number of landings subtracted, just like rickair7777 suggested. However I don’t think I will write in my paper logbook yet, and I won’t delete any landings from my electronic logbook for now either. I’ll just have the correction on a separate piece of paper ready to go in case I need to copy it to my logbook.
