Logbooks
Im in the process of correcting all the errors in my logbook. Are there any guidlines we can follow so that when it comes time for interview, the corrections are done in a presentable manner?
thanks ! |
Just make sure the single and multi columns equal the total cloumn!! :D
|
Day and night should also equal total.
If you're correcting, just draw a line through and initial it. Don't use whiteout because some might feel that you are covering up (literal and figurative) mistakes or embellishing. |

thanks ! If the error carried forward to another page, you should make a "journal entry" use the next open line in your logbook, put todays date, add/subtract the error amount, then in the comments make a note what and when the error was. This way your totals will be correct going forward, and the error is documented, but you don't have to re-total and whiteout every page. |

If you have an error on a page that has not yet been carried forward, you can just correct the error with whiteout or line-out, whichever you like.

I am considering using the whiteout technique that you've suggested in my old logbook and just using a line to correct the times in my new logbook. Would it be sufficient to keep a document, say in excel, of the month/location in my first logbook of the previous mistakes. None have been made in my new log except for the fact that I carried over the inaccurate times from my old log. Stupid, I know. |
Whiteout looks bad and can be messy.
I once had an incorrect entry burried pages back which needed to be corrected from not only column totals, but page totals as well. What I did here was make a new entry on the latest line which subtracted any errant entries. I may have also penned it in red, IIRC so it stands out. Essentially, youre just subtracting time which doesnt belong. This also works for adding missing time from a previously entered and calculated column, such as night. |
I gave up on paper logbooks and went to an electronic one. It took awhile to transfer everything, but it was well worth the trouble. Try Logbook Pro.

Don't you need to have the signatures? I'm ignorant when it comes to electronic logbooks, do they have some kind of feature for electronic endorsements? |
