Default Logbook Question

Hey Guys,

Might sound like a stupid question but in your logbook what title did you give your Jet time...was it "Turbine", "Turbofan", "Jet" or something else? I put down "Jet" in my regular logbook but when creating a report out of logbook pro, I was wondering if that would sound professional or not. What would someone in an interview be looking for specifically? Thanks for your advice.

Ross

I don't have a column for type of powerplant. No real need for it.

Hey guys, seperate question but about logbookpro. I kept paper logs until recently. I purchased logbookpro and input all my data. I was on the software site today and found that the binder can cost up to 150 $ and it costs 250 $ to print it. Am I reading this correctly, is there another way that doesn't cost 400 $ ?

I went to Kinko's, they printed out front and back on thicker paper for $70. You can find a binder for much cheaper

Just google the engine type on your aircraft and it will tell you the specs of the engine. Not that it really matters, but a CRJ is technically "turbofan" since it mostly uses bypass air.

I would keep a column for turbine.

Some employers might also want turboprop vs. turbojet.

In this context the term turbojet includes high, low, and no bypass...ie any jet engine.

Many will definitely want jet broken out - I would keep a column for that.

Agree with Rickair - However they ask the question, every instance I've seen jet includes turbojet and turbofan - NOT turboprop.
