Logging flight instruction
Just wondering if you guys actually fill out the "memo/remarks" section of your logbooks when flying? I'm about amonth behind and that's 115 entries if I counted my pages write and I don't feel like writting in every name of each person I flew with lol. Also do you write down each takeoff and landing? I'm at around 3k of them and now that I have a new logbook I have not been keeping up with them except for my currency requirements. Is that cool or am I sticking it to myself for a possible airline/freight job one day?

I put in pretty much the exact things we did that flight in there, almost a copy of what I put in the students book. But the only way to accurately do that is to log the time in your book every night, or copy it all down somewhere else.
Overkill? I'll keep doing while I am still motivated.

I keep my time sheet on my lap top and I have a "remarks" section in it. The reason is, is I type WAY faster then I can write free-hand, so that after I write in the students log book, I just copy it onto my time sheet. Then, at the end of the week (or day...) I just copy it verbatem(sp?) into my own log book.
Just like mistarose said...Overkill? I'll keep doing while I am still motivated.
Good luck, have fun!

I kept really tight records of student progress when I was instructing simply for liability reasons (especially since I flew out from under the Washington Class B airspace).
What I found easiest was to use a self-created form (8.5x11) for each flight that had checkboxes for the items covered in the lesson, a flight time summary, the students name/course info, and room for my remarks about student performance/progress. At the end of the lesson, we both signed the form, and I gave the student a copy for their record and kept one for myself.
It worked well for two reasons. First I had an undisputable record of the students performance and the items/tasks covered during a lesson (since we both signed it). Second, if I only flew with the student sporadically, I could go back and look at previous training forms to gain some sense of what the overall progress was and what we had covered. (I had over 50 "regular" students at the large part 141 school I taught at, and often had breaks over a week or more between lessons.)
A copy of the form I used can be found here:

When I got around to doing my logbook, it was easy... just go back and look at the documents that I had in my training binder.
