There are enough math errors using decimal points. Carrying over minutes is even more prone to mistakes if you ask me.

Decimals or minutes. The professional standard is pretty much hours and tenths- ie 2.4.
Block time is logged in minutes (2:28), then converted to decimal points (2.5). Here's a good scale to use: 0-3 minutes = .0 4-9 = .1 10-15 = .2 16-21 = .3 22-27 = .4 28-33 = .5 34-39 = .6 40-45 = .7 46-51 = .8 52-57 = .9 58-63 = 1.0 |
You were just a fraction off...

Perhaps a silly questions, or not. From a professional standpoint, would most carriers prefer to see flight time logged not using decimals points? - Thanks

YOU SAID IT TO THE POINT!!! |
In my crew logbook I use minutes for accuracy (30/7 issues, etc.). I convert it to decimals (tenths) when I put it in my logbook.

The other day I flew 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510 5820974944 5923078164 0628620899 8628034825342117067982148086513282306647
It was an odd flight. I kept going around in circles. But that to one side, I am having trouble deciding how to log it Can anyone help? ;) |
Your logbook should be as easy as pie.
:-) |
Were you flying a radial engine aircraft on that 3.14 flight? Do any Circle-to-land approaches?
|
Just lie on your application like the other 99.934% of the pilots with less than 7,000 total time did to get a flying job.

My Jeppesen logbook is printed in the decimal format, so that is what I follow. |
